Hi there! I’m Hinako Toyoda. 🌸I’m a bilingual educator currently based in Osaka, but I’ve got my sights set on the US—I’m planning to relocate there within the next year!I’ve always felt that there is a massive gap between the "classroom English" we learn in school and the way people actually speak in the real world.My goal is to help you close that gap. Whether you're struggling with natural flow, slang, or just the confidence to speak up, I’m here to guide you.
A little bit about my background:
I’ve spent the last three years teaching English in established Japanese schools, so I know exactly where the common "stumbling blocks" are for Japanese learners.I’m also a certified pro—I’ve completed 420 hours of professional Japanese Teacher Training and have been teaching Japanese for over two years.Language learning is a journey, and it’s one I’m still on myself every day. I’d love to help you navigate yours and make it a lot more fun along the way!
