Greetings Everyone,

I am offering classes in Pleasant Hill for both the language and cooking style of Japan. I am a native of Japan and received my M.A. in linguistics at San Francisco State University. I have taught Japanese at UC Berkeley, Cal State East Bay, and other smaller colleges. This would be extremely useful for business purposes, if you are planning to travel there, or just want to learn a new language. Please read below for further details and hopefully we can meet soon. My availability is opening up in about 2 weeks, when I will be available in the evenings with the exception of Wednesday and Thursday. Saturday evening will be fine and all day Sunday as well.

Language Tutoring:

It is possible to hold up to 6 people for group tutoring. This is a good way to practice real life situations with other people, and I would like to see what type of interest this generates. Private one-on-one tutoring is also available. Please respond with your experience level, best available times, and whether you prefer group or private sessions.

Private: $30/hour
2-4 People: $20/hour
5-6 People: $15/hour

Japanese Cooking:

The cuisine of my home country is not only delicious but fun to create also. Due to the size of my kitchen, cooking lessons will be limited to 2 people at a time. For a 4 week program that meets once per week, the cost will be $100-$125 which includes the price of ingredients. It depends on how specific you want the food to be and how available the components are. My recommended dishes would be temaki (conical hand rolls), sushi, okonomiyaki (grilled savory pancake), tempura, miso soup, tonkatsu (fried pork cutlet), and some smaller dishes also.

Email me with all your questions and availability so we can work something out. I look forward to meeting you! Arigatoo Gozaimasu!
