About Me
はじめまして！
My name is Noguchi Sensei, and I am a Japanese native with over 18 years of experience teaching Japanese.
Throughout the years, I have developed my own fun and engaging teaching style.
My teaching style is unique. I will teach you through my own direct method. You will be able to improve your Japanese couuminication skills rapidly with lessons using the Bloom Taxonomy chart. You can go up to the next level about every 20 hours of lessons.
I was teaching in the USA from 2004 to 2018, but currently I live in Japan.

What Happy Students Say
Noguchi-sensei's online lessons are a great way for me to continue pursuing my passion in Japanese language while maintaining a busy work life. Her lessons are highly catered towards my personal interests and career goals, and just as effective as her in-person lessons. I highly recommend studying under Noguchi-sensei.

I have learned much more with Noguchi Sensei more quickly than I have with many other language classes, and, having taught English as a second languge myself. I understand her real grasp of and talent in effective teaching. I look forward to her lessons.

Ms. Noguchi has been an amazing help for my Japanese learning and understanding. I've been struggling for the better part of 20 years to find a good way to step up my Japanese reading writing, and speaking skills. Her mentoring and guidance has helped me to dramatically improve my ability! I strongly recommend her without any hesitation to anyone at any level for learning Japanese.
