Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

☆If you want to improve your Japanese Speaking skills, Welcome!☆ After I graduated from university, I studied abroad in New Zealand for an year. While studying I also did private tutoring, teaching Japanese. Sometimes to use English to help with word association. I also worked at a Japanese language centre. I provide easy/simple words and tasks to get you to enjoy participating in the class and created a comfortable atmosphere to encourage discussion. So please don’t hesitate to give my lesson a try so we can enjoy some good Japanese conversation!

Vacation:Nov 8–Dec 14⛄Certified Teacher | Conversation, Grammar & JLPT | 6+ Years Experience I'm a Japanese teacher from Tokyo, currently living in Mexico with my Mexican family. I enjoy reading, learning new languages, and working out at the gym. I like Studio Ghibli films, Harry Potter and Fujii Kaze. I help learners who understand Japanese grammar but struggle to speak naturally and confidently. My lessons focus on conversation practice to improve fluency, expand vocabulary, and help you sound more natural in Japanese. In class, you can speak freely in a relaxed environment. I usually correct mistakes after you finish speaking, so you can focus on expressing yourself without interruption. ※ Ages 12+ ※If you’re unable to log in to the italki Classroom, please message me right away. I’ll send you a Google Meet link and wait for you there. ※Cancellations made within 24 hours of the scheduled lesson and no-shows are charged 100% of the lesson fee.

Learn Real-Life Japanese with a Native Speaker | Culture, Conversation & Everyday Life Hello! I'm Nao, a native Japanese speaker from Japan, currently living in the UK. I believe learning a language is about more than just memorizing grammar and vocabulary—it's also about discovering the culture and way of thinking behind the language. That's why I aim to create relaxed, enjoyable conversation lessons where you can learn Japanese at your own pace. Before moving to the UK, I worked as a fashion designer in Tokyo, so I'd be happy to chat about fashion and design as well! I also love talking about Japanese culture, food, travel, sports, and everyday life. Whether you're learning Japanese for travel, work, anime and manga, or simply as a hobby, I'd love to help you build your confidence and improve your conversational Japanese in a natural way. Since I'm also living abroad and learning a foreign language myself, I understand both the excitement and the challenges of language learning. I can support you in English whenever needed, so beginners are very welcome. I'm looking forward to meeting you and enjoying the journey of learning Japanese together!

Certified Tutor🌸5+ Years Experience🌸5,000+ Lessons🌸English-Friendly Hi there! I'm a native Japanese speaker who studied English and lived in the U.S. for 10 years, so no worries if you are a complete beginner✌ I also love manga and anime, so let's chat about them in Japanese 😄 I learned English as a second language myself, and I'm currently studying Korean, Spanish, and Turkish. So I know how fun and exciting language learning can be and also how frustrating and challenging it can feel! If you're nervous about making mistakes, don't worry. I've made countless mistakes while learning languages, and that's how we learn! If you've been thinking, "I wish I could speak Japanese someday," why not start now? Imagine where you could be three months from now. You might already be talking about yourself, your hobbies, and your daily life in Japanese! 🍙 My Lessons 🍙 🌸 Beginner Level🌸 Never studied Japanese before? No worries! Let's start with Hiragana. I use Genki-based materials for these lessons. You will be able to say things like... "This movie was very interesting!" "Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to Tokyo Station?" 🌸 Intermediate Level🌸 Finished Genki or Minna no Nihongo Elementary? Let's move on to intermediate Japanese! I mainly use Quartet for these lessons. I also have Tobira if you prefer. In these lessons, we will focus on grammar, conversation, and reading practice while expanding your range of expressions in Japanese. * These lessons are designed for students aged 16 and older.

italkiで7年11ヶ月日本語を教えています！フィリピンのセブ島に約７年住んでいました！去年の年末にIT系の会社を引退しました。日本語でいろいろなお話をしましょう！どんなことでも聞いてくださいね！ こんにちは。I'm Hiro.　I am a native Japanese speaker. I have been teaching Japanese on italki for nearly 8 years, and I have taught students of all ages, from young children to seniors. I have rich life and business experience, including company management, executive work, customer support, and tour guiding. Because of this, I can help you not only with daily conversation but also with business Japanese, job interviews, workplace manners, and professional keigo. I am a cheerful and friendly teacher, so you can feel relaxed and comfortable in my lessons. I enjoy talking about many topics, and I always try to create fun conversations based on your interests. I also love traveling, so we can talk about Japan, overseas trips, and recommended places. I was born in Hokkaido and lived there for many years, so I can also share a lot about Hokkaido and Japanese culture. My lessons are customized to your goals. If you tell me what you want before class, I will prepare the lesson to fit your needs. During conversation, I clearly explain your mistakes and help you improve your Japanese naturally. I can also help with university interviews, company interviews, mock interviews, resumes, and CV writing. I have helped many students enter Japanese universities, graduate schools, and companies. I am available on weekday evenings, Saturday daytime, and Sunday nights. Special requests are also welcome. Let’s enjoy speaking Japanese together and improve your skills!

Japanese Language Teacher 5 Yrs｜Daily Conversation(A1-C1)&Grammer&Medical Terms｜Beginners Welcome🔰 Hello, I’m Ayane! I was born in Tokyo and raised in Kyoto, so I can teach both standard Japanese and the Kansai dialect! I currently live in Finland and speak Japanese, English, and Finnish. I studied nursing at university and worked as a registered nurse at a university hospital. I enjoy helping people and supporting students in reaching their goals💪 I love traveling and have traveled throughout Japan and abroad, so I may have even visited your city before🌎 My hobbies include history, music, games, manga, and nature. I volunteered to help foreigners living in Japan improve their Japanese. I teach Japanese to my Finnish husband, so I understand the challenges Japanese learners face. I always teach slowly and carefully, so please feel comfortable learning with me! I tailor lessons to each student’s level and goals. ◉ Lessons for all levels (A1–C1) ◯ Conversation Practice🗣 ・Speak Japanese naturally and confidently ・Free conversation ・Practice pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary Many students study with me before traveling to Japan! Even if your grammar is not perfect, that’s okay. Let’s practice useful Japanese together! ◯ Grammar & Vocabulary📖 ・Lessons using your preferred textbooks(Genki / Nihongo Fun & Easy) ◯ Medical Japanese & Conversation🏥 I teach students working in the medical field.

I’ll help turn your worries about learning a language into fun and confidence. Hi, I'm Taka. Take it easy—that's my philosophy. I love talking to people from all over the world. Every student teaches me something new. You're welcome here. Let's grow together. Right now, I'm based in Tohoku, learning about agriculture and enjoying ramen every week. But life wasn't always like this. I spent more than a decade in Tokyo working in fashion, probably selling your country's brands. That experience gave me deep people skills and the ability to understand what customers needed—skills I use in my teaching. In lessons, I will never rush you. I wait for you to speak and create space for you to say a lot. You talk more, make mistakes, correct yourself, and improve. That's how we solve the common problem—"I can understand, but I can't speak." **What I Teach** If you want academic Japanese study, my lessons may not fit. I recommend a teacher who specializes in that. My lessons are conversation-focused. I don't focus on "correct" or "wrong," but on whether expressions are natural for native speakers. Through free conversation, you'll learn living Japanese: natural rhythm, real expressions, and authentic communication skills. As my students say, the lessons are fun and full of laughter. In this atmosphere, you'll develop the ability to speak naturally and confidently with Japanese people—as an equal. That's the goal. Speaking well with anyone, anywhere.

🍣Beginner & Polite Japanese 🏝️Okinawan language 🍙Master Japanese in English 🍜University Professor 1) I've been a Japanese teacher at a college school in the US Air Force base in Japan. 2) My primary focus is to build vocabulary so students can boldly lead discussions, and speak fluently. 3) I've trained exchange students, engineers, college students, children, and so on. 4) I've also worked as a guesthouse staff and office worker in Japan, so I'm used to explaining Japanese culture and manners to tourists and expatriates :) 5) I was ever praised by my friends and students for my teaching methods.

オリジナル教材のスピーキング特訓で「話すための日本語」を教えます！中級以上の方には細かい文法解説やテーマに沿った会話練習でより自然な日本語を教えます！ I've been teaching more than 20 years now. As a language teacher, I started teaching Japanese in Brazil in 2014. But I also taught music, English and other materials for kids in Japan, so teaching was always my passion. I started teaching online in 2019, and now I teach every single day. I love to see the students' progress so every level is welcome in my lesson. Recently I started to learn Chinese and French online, too, in order to, of course, improve my language skills but also to understand my students' difficulties. I've been discovering a lot of things by learning languages as a student, and that's helping me to set my mind and to reflect to and to improve my own lesson.

I used to teach English in high schools, so I know how to treat students fairly, especially when they don't know how to improve themselves. By the same token, when teaching Japanese, I will try to work with them and help them to reach their goals contingent to different situations that involve diversified students. 自分が子どもの頃から厳しい先生が嫌いなので、必ず面白い方法で日本語の世界へと誘ってあげます。而如果您的興趣是中文，充滿文化背景支持我也一定會為您創造一個有深度的的中文會話環境。
