言語を30年以上教えてきました。 現在は外国人には日本語、日本人には英語とスペイン語を教えています。 生徒さんの進歩を見たり、「ああ、わかりました!」という言葉を聞く時に、本当に嬉しくなります。 I’ve been teaching languages for more than 30 years. Now I teach Japanese to foreigners, and English and Spanish to Japanese. When I see the progress of my students or hear them say,”Now I understand!”,I really feel happy.

I have started teaching as a teaching assistant in Japanese classes when I was going to college. For the last 20 years, I've been helping new employees to get adjusted to their lives in Japan. Teaching basic Japanese was one of the support I was providing. I have helped my friends to pass JLPT. I have also supported foreign tourists as a volunteer guide in Tokyo, Osaka and Hiroshima. Therefore, I am confident that I can support beginner level students well. I love seeing their smiles when they were able to use the language that they learned with locals. That’s the best thing when you are learning a new language. We will talk a lot in my class. That's the best way to gain confidence.

A licensed teacher from Japan living in the US for 20 years 😊 Take action! Learn Japanese! I’m a very patient, encouraging, and dedicated licensed teacher from Japan living in the US for 20 years. I also completed the 420 Hour Advanced Japanese Teacher Training Course. I dearly hope to help students at all levels become masters of the Japanese language for both personal and professional reasons. Speaking a new language can be challenging and sometimes frustrating since many of us are shy about trying and are worried about making mistakes. I will help you get comfortable with speaking Japanese in a relaxed environment and make learning fun and enjoyable!

Fun and Friendly, 3 years of tutoring experience on italki and fluent in English (C1Level) I have been studying English since I was 18. The reason I learn English is that I truly enjoy connecting with people from different backgrounds, sharing conversations, and laughing together. Those moments make me really happy! For me, these connections are truly beautiful and precious. With two years of experience as a Japanese tutor in university and three years on italki, I do my best to help more students have these meaningful experiences in Japanese!!

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.

Top 1% Japanese Teacher! Learn to Speak Like a Local with a Native Teacher As a language teacher, I aim to be patient, engaging, and motivating, and focus on making the student feel confident when speaking in Japanese. I know that studying Japanese is not easy. And I love to help people chase their dream of speaking Japanese fluently. I would like to teach you without the use of any textbooks because those are so different from what we actually use in real conversation. So I would love to focus on improving your conversation skills by providing you with slang, useful phrases, and more of what we actually use.
