Tomoko 智子
I have been teaching Japanese for the past 4 years, and have helped my students at all levels - basic to advanced. My classes are usually conversation-based and customised to my students' language needs, whether it be grammar, idioms, vocabulary, or pronunciation. If you have something specific you need to prepare for, such as an upcoming interview, presentation or JLPT exams, I can definitely help you with that! I am also happy to answer any questions you have about material you are learning in other Japanese classes or by yourself, and help with document editing/proofreading. I want my classes to be relaxed, casual and hopefully have a bit of fun conversation! (Sorry, no child students)

I love my language and teaching it, and I hope to help my students find the joy of learning and speaking a new language. What I like is music, underground culture, onsen, education, psychology and meditation and my dog. I enjoy also Japanese Hip hop. The lyrics are wonderful combinations of well-thought Japanese and I like their word play. I also like to travel and have been to the U.S., Uganda, Ethiopia, Germany, Poland, Czech Republic, India, Vietnam, Indonesia, Hong Kong. I had lived in Thailand for 4 years and I like spicy food.

Shie Sensei
Teach in🇯🇵🇺🇸🇭🇰Speaking, Listening, Conversations, Genki textbooks, JLPT, Anime. 20yrs EXP FAQ: 1) HOW LONG TO TAKE TO BE FLUENT in Japanese? - Language takes time to master. Frequently focused sessions leads to far better results than sporadic study without direction. For example, studying 2 hours a week yields much more progress than 1 hour. I'll guide you through both self-study and one-on-one approaches! 2) HOW OFTEN I SHOULD SEE MY SENSEI (Tutor)? 1 HOUR a week with a sensei for listening and speaking practice and 1 HOUR on your own for reading and writing is effective. 3) Can I Get Away Learning Kana/ Hiragana/ Katakana at the beginning? Yes, we can use ROMAJI (English alpha) to pronounce the word and write sentence for first 6 months or even longer.

Akane Sensei
Most Japanese kids lessons taught on italki! Licensed kindergarten teacher *:) I was working as a kindergarten teacher for three years after I graduated college. After that, I lived in the US for two years to learn English. I have experience as working at a Japanese language school and teaching Japanese language to private students. I've been a professional teacher for eight years. English is my second language, so I can empathize with others who are also learning a new language. 日本では大学卒業後、幼稚園教諭として3年間の経験があり子どもの拙い日本語を優しく指導してきました。そして英語を学ぶ為、渡米し二年間コロラド州に住んでいました。現地の日本語学校での職務経験とフリーランスとして多数の生徒たちに日本語を指導してきましたので、プロの講師としては8年目になります。英語は私の母国語ではないので、私も他言語を学んだ一人として、他言語を学ぶ人の気持ちがよくわかります。

Hi, I’m Ayano!! I’m a native Japanese speaker from Ehime who loves teaching people from all over the world. I speak some English but we will mainly use Japanese in our lessons because that’s the best way to learn! I like my lessons to be fun because then you will be motivated to keep learning! I know how hard it is to learn another language because I’m learning English, so I will be very supportive. Maybe you want to learn Japanese to pass a test, speak to friends, get a job, or just for fun - whatever the reason, I will help you! !

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~!

Personalized class according to your level and needs. All levels are welcome! Let's have fun:) When you learn a new language, I think it’s important to set a goal, be consistent, and make it fun! I have experience interpreting English to Japanese and Japanese to English in Okinawa and the United States, so don’t worry if you don’t speak much Japanese, I’m here to help you understand and will adjust the class to your level. I’m very flexible so we will discuss what you want to focus on and I will plan your lessons accordingly. 新しい言葉を学ぶのに大切なことは、目標を定めること、少しづつ毎日積み重ねること、そして楽しむことだと思います。私は沖縄とアメリカで英語から日本語、日本語から英語の通訳の経験がありますので、あなたが日本語をあまり話せなくても大丈夫です。きちんと理解できるようにお手伝いしますし、あなたのレベルに合わせてレッスンを進めていきます。あなたが学びたいことにあわせて柔軟に対応していきます。

千里の道も一歩から A journey of a thousand miles must start with the first step! Paso a paso se va lejos. I have lived in Spain since 2016 and have taught Japanese to Spanish students in several language schools in person to children and adults in small groups and one-to-one. During this time, I also completed a Advanced Japanese teacher training course at The World Japanese Language Center in Australia. I now teach online classes to groups and one-to-one. I worked for a number of companies including a major Japanese electronics company past 20 years in Japan and through my working experience in Japan, I have also mastered honorifics and business manners, so if necessary, we can also practice business conversation such as Keigo together.
