Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

しぜんな日本語がはなせるようになりたい人！🙌 I have completed the studies for the 420 hour Advanced Skills of Teaching Japanese Language Course. My lesson is NOT typical Japanese lesson that practice Japanese which native Japanese wouldn't say! With or without a textbook, it doesn't matter. Even if we use a text book, I don't follow too much. We can have a conversation whilst practicing "Natural Japanese"! Playing games, describing some situations or such... I'll adapt the lesson to the student! Let me know if you have any request! プロの日本語教師になるための420時間のコースを受けました。日本人がよく使う日本語、”しぜんな日本語”を会話をしながら、練習します。教科書はあっても、なくても、大丈夫です。教科書を使ったとしても、教科書に沿って教えるだけでなく、自然な日本語を練習しながら、会話をします。ゲームをしたり、写真の説明をしたり…生徒さんに合わせたレッスンをします。何か希望があれば、言ってくださいね。

Structure is 99%, but It’s Context That Makes It Real—Miss the Context, Miss the Meaning! I specialize in helping ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS to intermediate learners who feel STUCK or don’t know WHERE TO START. My lessons are LOGICAL and STRUCTURED, breaking Japanese into manageable pieces to build your confidence step by step. I know the struggles—particles, conjugations, て forms—but I’ll show you not just “what” to use, but “WHY” it works. My focus is on real-world applications: mastering casual conversations, expressing opinions, and understanding cultural nuances. Every mistake is a stepping stone. My teaching is clear, encouraging, and always tailored to your unique learning style.

Top 1% Japanese Teacher! Learn to Speak Like a Local with a Native Teacher My lessons are focused on helping you actually improve your Japanese, not just practice it. I know a lot of conversation lessons can feel easy, but you don’t always know what you’re doing wrong. In my lessons, I actively correct your sentences and explain how to make them sound more natural. This is something many of my students say they were missing before. I mainly focus on real, natural Japanese, both casual and polite, so you can use what you learn in real conversations, not just in textbooks. At the same time, I keep the lessons structured so you always know what you’re improving. My goal is for you to leave each lesson with something clear that you can use right away.

I’ve taught English at a Japanese cram school for junior and senior high school students for 2 years, and worked in childcare where I encouraged young learners to use English in daily activities. I also volunteered to teach English at a local kindergarten. These experiences taught me how to be patient, adaptable, and creative in my teaching — skills that are just as important for adult learners as for children. Combined with my nursing background, I’m good at listening carefully and making students feel comfortable and supported. My goal is to create a relaxed space where you can speak freely, make mistakes, and learn natural, everyday Japanese without feeling pressured.

日本語、楽しんで身につけよう！ Let's learn Japanese in a fun and effective way! 日本語を教えながら、日々、その面白さを実感しています。 日本は伝統的なものと現代的なものが共存するおもしろい国です。 日本語も独特なおもしろい言葉です。３つの文字が１つの文に共存して、そのおかげでその文がわかりやすくなるのです！ あなたと一緒に日本語を学びながら、そのおもしろさを伝えていけたら、そして言語だけでなく、日本の文化や今のことなどを話せたらいいな、と思います。 あなたの文化や食べ物についても教えてもらえたら嬉しい！ レッスンでお待ちしています！ Japanese language is uniquely interesting. In a single sentence, you’ll often find three different writing systems working together to make the meaning clearer! I hope that as we learn Japanese together, I can share this charm with you. It would be wonderful not ony to explore the language but also to talk about Japanese culture and current topics. And of course, I’d be thrilled if you could share your culture and favorite foods with me too! See you in my class!
