I have been teaching Japanese to students for over 20 years as a public high school teacher. I can also teach in English if necessary. My instruction ranges from basic Japanese language learning to preparing students for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test, as well as business and daily conversation, Japanese culture, and history.

Beginners are welcome! Please feel free to contact me. I'm a qualified Japanese teacher, and I have more than 5 years of experience teaching Japanese, including 3 years teaching at a language school. I have taught both children and adults - from beginners to advanced classes. I am learning foreign languages myself, so I understand how fun and difficult it is to learn foreign languages. That's why I try to make my lessons as fun as possible so that you can enjoy studying Japanese!

Akane Sensei
Most Japanese kids lessons taught on italki! Licensed kindergarten teacher *:) I was working as a kindergarten teacher for three years after I graduated college. After that, I lived in the US for two years to learn English. I have experience as working at a Japanese language school and teaching Japanese language to private students. I've been a professional teacher for eight years. English is my second language, so I can empathize with others who are also learning a new language. 日本では大学卒業後、幼稚園教諭として3年間の経験があり子どもの拙い日本語を優しく指導してきました。そして英語を学ぶ為、渡米し二年間コロラド州に住んでいました。現地の日本語学校での職務経験とフリーランスとして多数の生徒たちに日本語を指導してきましたので、プロの講師としては8年目になります。英語は私の母国語ではないので、私も他言語を学んだ一人として、他言語を学ぶ人の気持ちがよくわかります。

If necessary, I will explain meanings or grammar points in English. <Certification> ・420 hour Japanese Teacher's Course ・Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test

日本語は読めるけど、話すのが苦手な方、日本人に何度も聞き返されて辛い思いをしたことがある方、面接やプレゼンの練習をしたい方、敬語やビジネス会話を覚えたい方、文章の添削をしてほしい方、お待ちしています。 私はビジネスをリタイヤした後、何をしようかと考えていたとき、まず思い浮かんだことは、外国語を学んで海外の人たちと交流をするということでした。しかし、逆に、私が日本語を教えることによって、多くの外国の方が日本語を理解し、日本が好きになってくれることのほうが、私のためにも、日本語を学ぶ皆さんのためにも有意義だと考えて、日本語教師になりました。 When I was thinking about what I would do after retiring from business, the first thing that came to mind was to learn a foreign language and interact with people from other countries. However, I thought that it would be more meaningful for me and for people learning Japanese if I could help many foreigners understand the Japanese language and come to love Japan by teaching it to them.

Absolute beginners are WELCOME ! Certified Japanese teacher with Over 2,000 online Lesson I'm certified Japanese teacher and I have been teaching Japanese since 2009 on italki. I always enjoy teaching and seeing my students improve their Japanese. I am a teacher but I have been studying English and Spanish so I fully understand the difficulty to learn other languages. As I have lived in Tokyo for about 10 years I speak standard Japanese other than Kansai dialect ( 関西弁). I also speak English and Spanish other than Japanese. So don't worry if you have trouble understanding Japanese I can also explain in English as well.

I have three certifications in Japanese language education and experience working at schools. I have completed all the requirements of Japanese Language Teacher Training Course 420 hours above, and successfully passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test. I actually have work experience of Japanese language schools. I support a wide range of people, from beginners who have never studied Japanese to intermediate and advanced students, honorifics and business Japanese, and employment at Japanese companies. Don’t worry about the JLPT exam. From N5 to N1, I will present the plan that suits you. In fact, you will be able to pass the JLPT, move to Japan, get a job at a Japanese company, enjoy traveling to Japan, anime and games, and talk with Japanese native speakers.

I'm looking for new students =) Why don't you learn with me together? I have learned how to teach Japanese through the correspondence course of the 420 hours. And I have already been teaching Japanese for about ten years. As mentioned in 'About Me', I am not a typical type of Japanese person, rather, I would like to train my student indepent or be able to get through any issue by themselves. Some of my friends tell me that I am approachable. So you can feel free to give me any kind of question or request. I have student who is struggled with Dyslexia. Nowadays, such problem is very common. So I welcome such student as well=) Learning language is fun and rewarding but also sometimes challeging to continue without let up. Let's enjoy it with me!!
