In Japanese, there are many different expressions, including not only casual expressions, but also polite expressions, honorifics, and humble language. Depending on your preference, you can talk like friends, use polite language, or learn more difficult expressions. By trying out various expressions, my goal is for students to be able to speak more naturally and closer to native speakers. And of course, I never forget to have fun with you during lessons!

会話（かいわ）練習　Free talk and conversation practice- and sometimes includes dialect

If you are not a beginner, this lesson will be very useful. Through this lesson, you can check your knowledge and improve it further. I am here to strengthen your confidence. I have a lot of experience teaching essays and correct Japanese to many Japanese students up to 18 years old, so that experience will be of great help here. I will help you study using casual Japanese, formal Japanese (such as honorifics), and Japanese used in various situations. I can solve the questions in your mind. Of course, you can also practice with different materials looking the best style to fit on you in lessons. Feel free to ask questions. I also recommend this to those who are between N3 and N2, close to N2. If you are currently an intermediate student and are aiming to become an advanced student, I recommend taking this course. And of course, if you consider yourself to be at N1 or N2 level, or want to be in the near future, this course is perfect for you. You can maintain or even improve your already acquired Japanese skills. Have fun learning Japanese with me!

I have been teaching Japanese to junior high and high school students in Japan for over five years. With this experience, I would love to support your learning! I can also provide homework, and I especially enjoy checking essays and discussing interesting topics.

Thank you for your understanding. Unfortunately, I am currently unable to accept students under the age of 12, and I appreciate your cooperation.

2. I will choose teaching materials that are suitable for the kids. From the second lesson onwards, I will proceed carefully, checking whether those materials suit them and whether they are enjoying them.


3. I will occasionally check with the kids and their parents for any requests. If parents have any requests, please feel free to send me a message.


4. Through Japanese lessons, I will also share Japanese culture and manners with them.


5. One of the goals of these lessons is for them to take an active role in learning Japanese—in other words, to enjoy the learning process.

Business Japanese【Interviews, meetings, presentations, honorific language, etc.】

I transferred from a business college to university in 1995 and majored in economics. I took the international relations course and learned business English. After graduating from university, I worked as a newspaper writer for four years and after that I worked as an university administrator, and since 2017 I have contributed to the education industry as a professional instructor of Japanese (essays, business, grammar, etc.) and English at a cram school and from my house.

Since 2015, I have been teaching Japanese, essay, English, and mathematics to many Japanese students as a professional teacher.  I can use my previous teaching experience with italki.  I am also currently studying hard to obtain a national certification as a Japanese language teacher.

Many of my students have made amazing progress in their Japanese language skills. Now, they want to go beyond basic Japanese and learn Japanese that can be used in business situations. Furthermore, through my lessons, they have been able to reach the JLPT N2 level, which is essential in the business world. Many students are looking to find employment in Japan, so I'd like to use all of the skills and experience I've built up until now help them develop the necessary Japanese proficiency .

I have been teaching grammar, listening, and reading on italki since 2021. I mainly use the textbooks "Genki" and "Minna no Nihongo" to help students acquire the basics of Japanese through essay corrections and instruction on correct Japanese expressions. Through my lessons, many students have become interested in and passed Japanese language exams such as the JLPT. I would like to use this experience to specialize in teaching exam subjects, such as JLPT preparation using test categories.

After 4 years of professionally teaching Japanese children at 明光義塾 cram school, I started working as a private tutor in Japan. I have taught Japanese and English. I also gained a lot of experience on italki since 2021 over 2500 lessons.  With my wealth of experience, I would love to support for children. My former students have grown up and have successfully landed great jobs in Japan.

I have been teaching Japanese as a community teacher on italki since 2021. My students range from teenagers to adults, and I have given a wide range of lessons from business to JLPT exams. I am still giving lessons in the same way, and as of August 2024, the total number of lessons is approaching 2,500.
