Private Japanese tutoring · West Vancouver & online
Unhurried Japanese,
taught beautifully.
One-to-one lessons shaped entirely around you — whether you're sitting the JLPT, finding your feet in a Tokyo meeting, or ordering like a local on your next trip.
There's a Japanese idea — 間 (ma) — that treats the pause between things as part of the beauty, not empty time to rush through. That's how we teach: small, private, and calm, with room to actually absorb what you're learning. Just you, a teacher paying close attention, and steady, genuine progress.
Why Greenstone
A quieter, more personal way to learn.
Truly one-to-one
Every lesson is private and 50 minutes long. The pace, the examples, the corrections — all built around you, not an average of twenty other students.
Lessons that fit your life
Choose from five focused paths, from JLPT preparation to travel Japanese. Tell us your goal and we shape the lessons toward it.
