Karuna
Your bilingual cross-cultural specialist 🌊 Express yourself with cultural cognizance while staying true to your authentic self 🎋🏮 I focus on facilitating your voice, i.e. student-generated output. This will include journaling/writing assignments and structured speaking challenges, as well as more free-form conversations for upper-beginner+ students who so desire. Above all, our lessons together will be compassionate to both the cultural and linguistic standpoints of a non-native learner. Japanese is a complex but also incredibly flexible language: I can equip you with the most efficient conversational “tricks” that natives use in everyday communication — but won’t skimp on important foundational grammar, either.

Keisuke
Let's talk a lot of Japanese that you know in a relaxing class! I've been a Japanese teacher for 5 years, with 3 years on italki and 2 at other institutions. I started studying education and psychology at university in 2025. My goal is to create a safe and understanding learning environment that boosts learning outcomes. I prioritize building a relaxed atmosphere where you can learn comfortably. Due to work and university commitments, I can only offer up to 3 hours of lessons per day. However, I use my experience to pack each lesson with valuable learning. I've conducted over 2,000 lessons on italki and around 500 at my previous company. With limited time, I strive to deliver at least one new discovery in every lesson.
