Ongoing 1:1 coaching built entirely around the anime, manga, and games you already love — not a crash course, not a textbook. Just steady, weekly progress on the exact scenes you're stuck on.
"I understand 70% of what I watch and can't get past it."
"I freeze up the moment I have to actually speak."
"Every course treats my hobby like it's not serious enough."
Five years of anime, manga, and games — no classes, no textbooks, no time in Japan — got me to near-native Japanese. Every competitor in this space is either a native speaker teaching a system, or a linguistics-trained coach teaching theory. I have neither. I have the receipts.
A custom Anki system from scratch. JP-to-JP subtitle transcription skills sharp enough to catch line-level dialogue timing — the exact unit your coaching is built around.
I don't start with grammar. I start with the scene you're stuck on, work out exactly why it's not clicking, and reverse-engineer a path through it — the same way I taught myself.
You bring the anime, manga, game, or visual novel scene you're actually stuck on — the one you keep rewatching without fully getting.
We work through your media live and ongoing — diagnosing gaps in comprehension and building the vocabulary, grammar, and cultural context you're missing, scene by scene as you bring new material.
No generic decks. Every card comes straight from what you're watching or playing, built live in-session and expanded every week you're coaching with me.
A clear read, every month, on what's shifted — from passive comprehension toward actually understanding, and speaking about, the media you love.
Month-to-month, ongoing 1:1 coaching — no long-term contract, cancel anytime.
And it's not a substitute for your own immersion time outside sessions — this coaching sharpens what you're already watching and playing, it doesn't replace it.
"AI preps the lesson. A real person who did this without a classroom delivers it — week after week."
Spots are limited — this is 1:1, by application, and grows with you every week. Tell me a bit about what you're stuck on and I'll follow up to book an intro call.
