About Hanaka

Hi! I'm Hanaka, and I'm here to support students with patience, encouragement, and a love for learning. I specialize in tutoring ESL, elementary-level subjects, Japanese, and drawing/art skills. I have experience helping students from different backgrounds feel more confident in their abilities--whether it's building strong English communication skills, understanding school subjects more clearly, or expressing themselves creatively through art. I believe learning should feel safe, inspiring, and fun. My approach is simple: meet you where you are, understand your goals, and guide you step by step. I create lessons that fit your pace, your interests, and your strengths. I'm especially passionate about helping shy or unsure learners open up and feel proud of their progress. If you're looking for someone who listens, explains things clearly, and brings positive energy into every session, I'd be happy to work with you.
