Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

Speak More Natural Japanese | Refine Your Speaking, Nuance & Pitch Accent I studied abroad in Australia for 4 years and have experience in translation, writing, and editing. As a writer and editor, I pay close attention to nuance, tone, and how words are actually used in real communication. I also have experience teaching Japanese privately and supporting international visitors in real-life situations such as restaurants, sightseeing, and daily interactions. Because I have learned languages myself, I understand both the challenges and the excitement of learning. I help you sound more natural, understand subtle differences, and communicate more like a native speaker. My goal is to help you feel confident using Japanese in real life.

Expert of teaching complete beginners who really want to SPEAK Japanese Konnichiwa! I’m a Japanese teacher who loves helping beginners speak confidently from day one. After teaching in Thailand’s top language school, I now blend my nomadic adventures (Europe, the Americas, Africa!) into fun, practical lessons. I also love learning foreign languages myself and enjoy discovering different cultures through travel and communication. Outside of teaching, you'll often find me dancing, working out, or studying something new. Let’s turn your “I can’t” into “I did it!” (P.S. ¡Puedo enseñar japonés en español también!) After teaching Japanese on italki for a year and a half, I moved to Thailand to work at a well-known Japanese language school with a strong reputation. There, I gained valuable experience teaching Japanese in a structured classroom environment. In addition to grammar instruction, I specialize in helping students learn to write Japanese scriptsーhiragana, katakana, and kanjiーwith clarity and beauty. In my lessons, I focus not just on taking classes but on helping students build practical communication skills. I structure each course to ensure students have plenty of opportunities to review and reinforce what they've learned. Many learners feel nervous about starting Japanese from scratch, especially onlineーbut I've become very comfortable guiding beginners, and I truly enjoy it! I'd love for you to try a trial lesson and see how my method works for you. *Please note that I only teach students aged 16 and above.

My goal is to make friends all over the world through Japanese! If you feel we’d be a good match, let’s talk in a lesson. I’m looking forward to meeting you!

Let's have conversations about topics you're interested in to improve your Japanese! Through my past experiences I've met a lot of lovely people from all over the world and the one thing that stuck out to me the most was the opinion about how difficult Japanese is to learn as a second language. I've decided to take to italki so I may reach more potential friends around the world and converse in this beautiful language! I'm so excited to use the new methods of teaching I learnt in practice in our learning together! I'm so looking forward to meeting you all and being your tomodachi 👫

Friendly &Flexible. にほんごをまなぼう、にほんごでまなぼう。 During my time in America, as a Teaching Assistant, I was teaching ‘history of cinema’ and practical ‘basic filmmaking ‘ to American college students. Also, I joined activities to teach Japanese culture and language to people. Since my returning to Japan, I have had many opportunities to interact with many local people from all over the world when I visit abroad for my job of movie making. Throughout these experiences, I have been feeling keenly about “the joy and difficulty of verbal communication. With this kind of experience, I can support and lead each student to learn Japanese language.

When I learn languages on italki, I use the method that I developed for myself. I believe this is fun and effective for students, so I would like to use this in my Japanese lessons. In my method, we use movies/animes with Japanese subtitles.

Since 2010 I've empowered great learners through language learning - no matter the level! As a teacher, I plan my lessons based on my experience as an educator and academic researcher.

I collaborate closely with my students, giving them constructive feedback and identifying areas for improvement. This helps them develop strong communication skills and succeed in their exams.

台湾に来てから、中国語を勉強しながら、日本語を台湾人の方に教える経験をしました。 生徒さんが着実に成長していく様子を見てとても嬉しかったですし、非常にやりがいを感じました。 日本語を教えることを通して日本の文化や習慣を知ってもらって、日本をもっと好きになってもらえたら嬉しいです。
