Build Your Japanese Step by Step | Supportive Lessons for Adults Hi, I'm Chihiro, a native Japanese speaker from Nagasaki, Japan. I've been living in Australia since 2016. Before becoming a Japanese teacher, I worked as a nurse for many years. Supporting people, listening with empathy, and helping others feel comfortable have always been important to me. I bring that same patient and supportive approach to every lesson. Who I Teach **Please note that I teach adults only. I specialise in teaching adult learners from beginner to lower-intermediate level. My lessons are ideal for adults who: • Want to communicate naturally with their Japanese spouse, partner, family members, or in-laws • Love Japanese language, culture, history, or travel • Prefer a calm and supportive learning environment • Are committed to making steady, long-term progress My Teaching Style Learning Japanese as an adult takes time, patience, and consistent practice. My goal is to help you build a strong foundation and develop confidence step by step. I focus on: ✅ Structured lessons with clear learning goals ✅ Visual materials and easy-to-follow explanations ✅ English support when needed ✅ Practical Japanese for real-life communication I believe that lasting progress comes from regular study and continued effort rather than quick fixes. If you're looking for a teacher who will support you throughout your long-term Japanese learning journey, I'd be happy to help. I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your Japanese language goals!

U.S -Based Linguist, Medical Interpreter, TESOL Chinese/Japanese/English Professional Teacher I hold two Masters degrees from the University of Colorado - Japanese Language and Civilization, and Linguistics. The former provided me with extensive training in translation, interpretation, and literary analysis from both historical and modern perspectives. Linguistics offered me the theoretical and practical basis for teaching a foreign language. I am especially interested in applying phonetic and phonological strategies to classroom teaching in order to prepare students for a native-like pronunciation and intuition. I am a native Chinese Mandarin speaker with Japanese heritage. With the educational training mentioned above, I am capable of teaching both languages.

Japanese language skills; 5+ years of experience as a Korean instructor; It's been about 5 year since I taught at Italki. I can use Korean at the level of a native speaker and have daily conversations in English. However, my English is not at a level where I can understand basic Korean grammar or detailed explanations to students, so make sure to check this part before applying for the course! Japanese is a little more free to talk and explain. 저는 아이토키에서 가르친 지 5년 정도 되었습니다.물론, 저는 한국어를 원어민 수준으로 사용할 수 있고 영어로 일상 대화를 할 수 있습니다. 하지만, 저의 영어 실력은 학생에게 기본적인 한국어 문법이나 상세한 설명을 이해할 수 있는 수준이 아니므로, 강좌를 신청하기 전에 이 부분을 꼭 확인하세요! Italkiで今まで約 5年位授業をして来ました. 韓国語は当然ネイティブレベルで駆使し、英語は日常会話が可能です。 ただし、英語の実力は基礎的な韓国語文法や詳しい説明が可能なレベルではないので、授業申し込みの前に必ず確認してください! 日本語ではもうちょっと自由に会話が可能で文法説明も可能です。

I do not teaching you, but do COACHING you as a native speaker and a language learner as well. A lot of people just study in solitude. But there's a huge gap between studying alone and actually speaking to a native speaker or somebody else. I consider myself is a friendly and patient coach (not a teacher^^), always trying to encourage learners to speak and practice more. Language is a skill, every skill is acquired through practice instead of other's TOO MUCH explanation. And now, I'm here ready to support & assist your study!
