Examples of what I’ve worked on with students so far: *Customer service on the phone in Japanese and keigo practice *Test preparation for the JLPT and other qualifications *
Writing documents to apply for university or a job, interview preparation * Lessons for beginners focusing on pronunciation and simple vocabulary *Lessons for intermediate students with vocabulary and expression training * Lessons for advanced students where we talk about Japanese culture, people and more in order to make you speak Japanese like a native and more… A cornerstone in getting good at Japanese is your《熱意と意欲》 enthusiasm, motivation and the constant urge of wanting to improve!

🟡Let's talk at "Sawa's Cafe"! ☕️ 🟡More like a friend Less like a teacher🟡Daily Conversation🟡 As a teacher I am 1: Patient and engaging. A happy atmosphere. 2: My goal is to increase your “confidence” and “joy” in speaking Japanese! 3: I use many words and phrases that native speakers actually use! 4: I speak at a normal speed. (Of course, if I speak too fast, please let me know.) 5: I will improve your conversation skills and motivation! * My classes are mostly conversational. I recommend that you study grammar with an expert teacher. Of course, questions are always welcome. *A2 or above is recommended. In my study of English, I have met some fascinating teachers. I decided to start teaching Japanese here because I wanted to be able to help those who are learning Japanese as well.

The first time I taught Japanese was in university, and I had a lot of fun teaching Japanese at that time! So, I decided to continue teaching. I usually teach beginners to advanced learners in language schools and some companies. When teaching, I strive to build a friendly atmosphere and good relationship with my students, no matter their level. Don't be afraid of making any mistakes, because that is what learning is all about! 我教日语从0基础到高级水平。 我是个很耐心的老师,所以大家不用紧张不用担心,通过学习日语我们一起度过愉快的时间~!

あなたのスタイルに柔軟に対応するのが私のレッスンスタイル If you are new to Japan, are you full of anxiety and looking for more than understanding yourself? And do you want to master Japanese and use it for your life and work? Also, if you want to work in Japan in the future, or if you want to return to Japan and get a job at a Japanese company, do you want to learn Japanese grammar and Chinese characters and get good points on the test? .. Thus, different learners have different purposes. I would like to work on the lesson with a thorough understanding. And work while having fun.

I specialize in conversation practice! I also provide Youtube videos of Japanese conversation. Outside of lesson time, I'll introduce you to videos and materials for self-study. A lot of self-study is necessary for beginners who have just started to be able to speak quickly. I'll encourage you and help you while you study on your own! Let's make the lesson time a time to use what you've memorized! If there's something you don't understand, I'll explain it to you. Above all, what I value most in lessons is enjoying conversation. When you speak in your native language, do you make more jokes? Even though it's a lesson, let's talk casually in Japanese just like when you speak in your native language. Casual conversation is also welcome, not just the polite "desu, masu" style!

Since 2015 here in italki! I have various Chinese courses designed for different purposes for you to choose from, please refer to the list below for your brief information or you are welcomed to book a trial lesson with me for more details.  ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 初めて中国語に接する方は、中国語をどのようにとらえているでしょうか。 「日本語と同じく漢字を使った言語なので、私たちにはとても馴染みやすい言葉かなー」 と思っている方はいらっしゃいますでしょうか。 ただし、同じ漢字でも、違う形ですし、同じ発音でも、その発音のアクセントによって、全然違う意味になってしまうなど、ニュアンスの違いを感じさせます。 私は、中国語を勉強されている方に、より効率的に勉強ができるようにお手伝いを致します。 発音、よく使う表現、文法等をゼロから進んで行きます。 語彙を少しずつ増やしていけば、自然と中国語を身につけられるようになるでしょうか。 文化、歴史、料理、映画など、皆様の中国に対する楽しみは様々でしょうが、 中国に旅行の際、お仕事の際に、実際に会話をして交流できるよう、 私が皆様の中国語の一助となれば幸いです。

あなたがリラックスしてたくさん日本語が話せるように私がお手伝いします!I'm here to help you relax and speak lots of Japanese!:) I used to teach Japanese at Japanese language schools and Japanese language classes in Kyoto, Osaka and Kobe.

“A man who knows two languages is worth two men.” ― French Proverb I was a school teacher for several years so I've learned to teach live people and not just through the computer. I teach not only adults but children too! I have taught 7 year old kids who did not speak Japanese at all when we began. We started from Hiragana and worked up to words and sentences. I love teaching all levels, so of course beginners are welcome! I have textbooks allowing us to crossed between book based lessons and speaking lessons. But if you want to be fluent in Japanese, you should learn with textbook, and learn Japanese language! I'll teach you how to speak in a real conversational manner and not the formal helpful but not natural conversation method used by textbooks.

Frequently asked questions about online Japanese classes

At italki, you can easily find the right Japanese teacher for you by using our search filters. You can filter teachers by their experience level, teaching style, availability, and even their location. We recommend taking a trial lesson with a few different teachers to see which one you feel most comfortable with and whose teaching style best matches your learning goals. During the trial lesson, you can ask the teacher about their teaching methods, experience, and availability. You can also check their profile for reviews from previous students to get an idea of their teaching effectiveness. Ultimately, finding the right Japanese tutor online is a personal decision, and it’s important to find someone you feel comfortable with and who can help you achieve your language learning goals.

You can choose a Japanese teacher who is specialized in teaching Japanese to beginners if you are just starting out.

One of the biggest advantages of learning Japanese with italki is that you can set your own pace for learning. Unlike traditional language classes where you have to follow a fixed syllabus and pace, with italki, you can choose how many classes you want to take each week and how long you want to study. You can also choose to take a break from classes whenever you need to and come back to them when you are ready.

Additionally, with italki, you have the flexibility to choose the type of classes that suit your learning style and pace. You can choose one-on-one lessons or group classes, and you can choose to focus on specific areas of the language, such as speaking, listening, reading, or writing.

At italki, we understand that sometimes schedules can change, and we make it easy to reschedule or cancel your Japanese lessons. You can contact your teacher directly to reschedule a lesson if you need to. Please note that if you need to reschedule or cancel a lesson, you should do so at least 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged for the lesson. If you cancel a lesson within 24 hours of the scheduled time, you will be charged for the lesson.

If you need to cancel a lesson for an emergency or unexpected event, please contact italki support as soon as possible to explain the situation. Our support team will work with you and your teacher to find a suitable solution.

It’s important to remember that building a good relationship with your Japanese teacher is key to success in your language learning journey, so open communication is encouraged.

At italki, there are multiple payment methods available for online Japanese lessons. You can pay using credit cards, PayPal, Alipay, or other methods depending on your location. To pay for a lesson, you need to purchase italki credits, which can then be used to pay for the lessons you take. The cost of each lesson depends on the teacher’s rate and the length of the lesson. Once you have enough credits, you can book a lesson with your chosen Japanese teacher and pay for it using your credits. After the lesson, your credits will be deducted based on the length of the lesson. You can also set up automatic payments so that you don’t need to manually purchase credits each time you book a lesson. It’s a simple and secure way to pay for online Japanese lessons on italki.
