Introduction
***First 1 hour lesson for $30, group lessons available*** Hi everyone! My name is Miku. I was born in Hawaii and raised in Japan. I graduated from Dokkyo university in Saitama, Japan, and majored in hospitality and tourism. I was a former flight attendant for ANA (All Nippon Airways) living in Tokyo, Japan until I moved to Hawaii in 2016. I’m now a flight attendant for American Airlines. I took classes to become a teacher at university, and have been teaching Japanese almost 10 years now. I can help you with conversation skills, correct pronunciation and proper grammar. I usually use a textbook called ‘Genki’ for my lessons. I provide the textbook so you don’t have to buy it. With ‘Genki’ we can work on various grammar points, vocabulary building, situational role playing, pronunciation, and plenty of exercises to improve your listening and speaking skills. I try my best to keep the classes as relaxed as possible so that you can feel comfortable speaking and can learn at your own pace. I only do lessons over Skype or FaceTime, so no in-person lessons. If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to ask. Hope to see you soon! **cancellation policy** II’ll charge 50% if you have to cancel a lesson within 24hrs before the scheduled time

The 5 stars are definitely not for clout, she is a exceptional teacher. Miku san teaching style is a combination of experience, knowledge, patience and understanding. I’ve learned more than I would in a group as she gives the attention needed for you to grasp what’s being taught.

Lessons are sometimes cancelled without notice. Scheduling sometimes occurs at the last minute -- the day of or day before. It's strange because the instructor was, initially, very punctual.

Japanese tutor & ESL tutoring for Japanese people's reply
I’m sorry there was a miscommunication between you and I regarding your lesson previously scheduled for Saturday 10/2. After our confirmed Saturday lesson, you texted me inquiring if I could do the lesson on Monday instead. My apologies for thinking you wanted to reschedule. I take pride in the satisfaction and results of my students. Should you wish to continue lessons, I hope we can resolve any future miscommunications before such a negative review is posted. And if not, I wish you luck in your future endeavors and Japanese immersion.

Miku Oka-San is one of the best Japanese language teachers and I feel so fortunate to have found her . She is really patient and flexible and makes learning so much fun. I also take her guidance before my important meetings with Japanese customers and she is always available to help… thank you Miku-San for being such a wonderful person and teacher..
