About Hinako
Hi, I’m Hinako.
I’m originally from Hokkaido, Japan, and I’ve also spent time living in Chile last year.
Experiencing different cultures and languages has deeply influenced the way I teach. I understand what it feels like to navigate life in another language — not just in a classroom, but in real, everyday situations.
What makes me different as a teacher is that I focus on the emotional side of learning as much as the academic side. Language learning is not only about grammar — it’s about confidence, identity, and connection.
I love using Japanese as a bridge between cultures. In my lessons, learning is not one-sided — we share experiences, compare cultures, and discover new ways of seeing the world together.
I especially enjoy teaching/practicing:
・To beginners
・Grammars (explained in an easy and logical way)
・Daily conversation
・Travel Japanese
・JLPT preparation (up to N4, by now)
Whether you’re studying for the JLPT, planning a trip to Japan, or just starting your first Japanese lesson, I would love to support your journey.
As someone who studies Spanish by myself, I understand your feeling. It is not the easiest thing! (But not impossible :D)

I have been teaching Japanese since March 2025 and will begin formal university training in Japanese language education this year.
Over the past year, I have worked closely with beginner learners who often feel nervous about speaking. Many of my students started with very little confidence, and one of my main goals is helping them move from “I understand, but I can’t speak” to “I can say this by myself.”
Rather than simply covering textbook content, I focus on how students process grammar and where confusion usually happens. I break down complex structures into clear and logical steps. This helps students feel secure and less overwhelmed.
Instead of focusing on perfect pronunciation, I prioritise communication. My goal is not to make students sound native immediately, but to help them express their thoughts clearly and confidently.
☆I only provide online lessons.
