Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

🌸From “I Understand” to “I Can Speak” | Beginner Grammar to Conversation🌸 Do you understand grammar but find it hard to use when speaking? Or are you a complete beginner and not sure where to start? 🌱 BEGINNER & INTERMEDIATE GRAMMAR My lessons focus on active output. After learning a grammar point, you’ll make lots of your own sentences and say them out loud. We’ll also use the grammar to talk about yourself and your experiences, so you can learn to use it in real conversation. I use my own PowerPoint materials with illustrations, simple tables, examples, and English notes. We can also use Genki, Minna no Nihongo, or Quartet. 🗣️ CONVERSATION LESSONS For all levels. We can enjoy free conversation, discuss topics that interest you, or read a news article before class, explain it in your own words, and share your opinions. I use a shared Google Doc to note useful vocabulary, natural expressions, and corrections, so you can review them later. 🎓 TEACHING EXPERIENCE I also teach private one-on-one students outside italki and have taught Japanese conversation to students at an Australian high school as part of a school program. 💼 BUSINESS JAPANESE I have experience working at a major Japanese bank and an insurance company, including training new employees. 🌸 RELAXED & SUPPORTIVE I’m calm and patient, and I create a relaxed atmosphere where you can speak without worrying about mistakes. Many students tell me they feel comfortable in my lessons. ✨ Let’s turn the Japanese you understand into Japanese you can actually use!

10 Years of International Experience Teaching and Communicating in English & Spanish I love traveling and am a former tour escort and backpacker. Through my journeys, I have explored many countries, including India, Myanmar, Nepal, Bhutan, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Canada, Guatemala, Belize, Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Spain, France, Italy, and Turkey. I also love manga and anime, so I enjoy talking about Japanese culture as well! I am passionate about language learning and cultural exchange. I lived in Australia to study English, in Taiwan to learn Chinese, and spent three years in Mexico teaching Japanese while learning Spanish. These experiences helped me understand both the challenges and the joy of learning a new language. With my international background and love for communication, I enjoy helping students learn Japanese in a fun, relaxed, and practical way. I can teach students from absolute beginner level, so please feel free to join my classes. I explain grammar and other points in English or Spanish, so it is helpful if you understand these languages. I usually give homework, but if you are busy, it is completely okay not to do it. I believe learning hiragana and katakana is the most important first step. Without reading and writing skills, it is very difficult to improve your Japanese. Step by step, I will help you build a strong foundation and enjoy the learning process!

As a Japanese teacher, I focus on explaining Japanese clearly and carefully while using my knowledge of linguistics and pronunciation. Because I have lived abroad, I understand both the challenges and the excitement of learning a foreign language. I try to create a supportive learning environment where students feel comfortable and motivated. I am passionate about language and education, and I truly enjoy helping students reach their language goals through Japanese learning. My strengths include: Natural Japanese conversation Clear and accurate pronunciation Easy-to-understand grammar explanations
