Hi! I’m Fran
Have you always wanted to learn Japanese? Perhaps you don’t know where to get started? Or maybe you’ve had a couple of “false starts” already…? You started learning, but gave up. Maybe you even think language learning is not for you.
I know how you feel.
When I first visited Japan in 2007, I was captivated by this fascinating country - its culture, people and most of all its language. There was one problem. I didn't speak Japanese!
I spent the following decade learning this beautiful language. I worked hard to achieve fluency, and in 2013 I passed N1, the highest level of the Japanese Language Proficiency Test.
I started teaching Japanese lessons to groups in my central Brighton classroom in 2015. All classes are now online. So, wherever you are in the world, you can join us at Step Up Japanese.
Japanese is a beautiful, brilliant language, and I love sharing that with you. Together, we can achieve your language learning goals. And we can have a lot of fun doing it!
What my students say:
“I made more progress in the first few lessons than an entire previous year of attempted self-learning.”
“As a teacher, Fran is supportive and the work she provides is motivating, always tempered just right: never impossibly challenging, but always tempting you to step out of your comfort zone to try something new.”
“The lessons are relaxed and fun (great if you find things like this intimidating like me). Fran is super knowledgeable and quick feedback makes Step Up Japanese lessons so much more useful than online or textbook learning.”
“Fran’s Japanese classes are fun and accessible - highly recommended.”
If you’re ready to start speaking Japanese with confidence, you’ve come to the right place.
