About
HSC Japanese Specialist | Former HSC Marker | 10+ Years NSW High School Teaching
I’m a qualified Japanese teacher with over a decade of experience teaching in a NSW public high school, including Years 11–12 Beginners and Continuers. I have also marked the HSC, so I teach students exactly how responses are assessed and what examiners look for.
I work with motivated senior students who want to improve their marks, strengthen their speaking, and write responses that score well under HSC criteria.
Students learn how to:
Respond confidently and naturally in the oral exam while meeting marking guidelines
Structure high-scoring writing with clear ideas and accurate Japanese
Avoid the common mistakes that cost marks in the HSC
As a native Japanese speaker and experienced classroom teacher, I help students move beyond textbook phrases and produce Japanese that sounds natural, accurate, and appropriate for the exam.
Lessons are focused and practical. Students receive direct feedback, targeted practice, and clear strategies they can apply immediately in assessments and the HSC.
Online lessons for Year 11–12 Japanese Beginners and Continuers.
