Hello! I’m Aztai from China. Nice to meet you! I was born in China and come from the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region. I’m bilingual in Chinese and Mongolian. I’m deeply interested in languages and psychology, and I occasionally read professional academic papers. I’m a huge fan of japannese anime---a total otaku! But I also enjoy travelling sometimes. ハロー!中国出身の ᠠᠵᠠᠲᠠᠢ(アジテイ) 先生です。よろしくお願いします! 中国生まれ、内モンゴル自治区出身の中国語・モンゴル語バイリンガルです。 語学と心理学に興味がいっぱいあって、ときたまにプロフェッショナルな論文をみます。 アニメ・ドラマが大々々好きなオタクだが、でもたまにも旅行やキャンプをするアウトドア系になるんっす! 我是aztai,蒙古族。我会日语、中文、传统蒙古文、中等的西里尔蒙古文、英文、一点点西班牙语。 我爱学习新语言、旅行、看动漫,玩游戏(这听起来显得我很好像宅,但其实偶尔也喜欢和朋友出门hang out)。 我曾经学会并精通语言的主要原因大多是娱乐,喜欢一门语言本身对每个学习者都很重要的。 如果你比起枯燥的模板化教学、更喜欢直接进入语言本身,我们应该会很合得来喔~ I have one year of experience teaching one-on-one online Japanese lessons, and I am a JLPT N1 certified speaker. 我擅长把复杂的东西给学生拆解清楚,并且我倾向于以例子和对话来让学生学习,因为语言是一种人脑会自动适应的结构。 日本語のオンラインマンツーマンレッスンを1年間担当した経験があります。 また、JLPT N1合格者です。 国際的な視点を大切にしながら、日本人・中国人の両ネイティブに近い感覚で言語を教えています。 独自のトレーニング方法を使い、「理解できる」「使える」ことを重視した授業を行っています。 少しでも気になったら、ぜひ一度僕のレッスンを体験してみてください!
Learn Real, Polite & Practical Japanese from Hospitality Experience! I studied abroad in Canada, where I volunteered to teach Japanese to Asian students.

New Info: I was born and raised in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, and I have lived in the U.S. for over 20 years. I currently live in New York. I enjoy teaching Japanese, and I also love learning languages. I am currently studying French. My lessons mainly focus on conversation, but I can adjust them based on each student’s level and goals. For beginners, I can use textbooks to help them learn the basics step by step. For advanced learners, we can read books, discuss news articles, or focus on any topic they would like to study. As a language learner myself, I know how enjoyable it feels to communicate in another language. Japanese is not easy, but I would like to help my students experience that same joy. Since I am also studying French, my explanations may sometimes be a mix of French and English, but I can also teach Japanese in French. My lesson fees are now $11.00 for 30 minutes, $14.00 for 45 minutes, and $17.00 for 60 minutes for any levels (updated in August 2026). I also offer a 10% discount for packages of 5 lessons. If you are interested, please take advantage of the package prices. If you would like to book a lesson for your child, please message me in advance with your child’s age and Japanese level. Depending on the child’s age and level, I may not be able to accept the lesson.

Through my experience as a voice trainer, I've learned how the tongue position and mouth form affects articulation. That would help me to show you the differences between Japanese and other languages. I can also teach you the proper Japanese standard pitch accent and various intonations and how to adapt them to different situations.

Let's Travel Japan Together ✈️ Through Japanese! ✅ English OK Hi, I'm Naru! 😊 My lessons are a little different ☝️ I'm currently traveling all across Japan — and teaching along the way. "Today I'm in Kanazawa!" "I just got back from Kyoto!" Every lesson, we explore the culture, history, and real Japanese from wherever I am. Let's learn living Japanese together — the kind you can't find in a textbook. 🌸 I lived in London for 3 years, so I know firsthand how hard it is to actually talk to native speakers — even after studying so hard. That's why my lessons go beyond grammar drills. I'm here to help you speak, for real. I love travel ✈️, snowboarding 🏂, and good food 🍣 — so we'll never run out of things to talk about! 😉 Come to each lesson like you're catching up with a friend. Let's have fun and learn Japanese together! 💪 👩🏫 Teaching Experience 3+ years | 1,000+ lessons | 100+ learners worldwide 🔍 My Teaching Style Grammar + conversation, combined. We use GENKI to build a solid foundation — and every grammar point gets practiced in real conversation right away. I use my own original app to keep things fresh, tackling new structures across all kinds of topics. I give lots of feedback, and after every lesson I'll share a personalized note with corrected expressions and vocabulary to review. 📝
