Sam
Polyglot and TEFL-certified teacher with 6 years of teaching experience I teach English conversation to intermediate and advanced students, during which I make careful suggestions as to how students can improve the grammatical accuracy and idiomatic appropriateness of their spoken English. My strong understanding of Russian has enabled me to help many Russian-speakers in particular. I have heard every mistake Russians can make in English! I also have a special interest in phonetics and phonology. I have a postgraduate education in this subject, and particularly enjoy working on pronunciation. Students looking for detailed feedback on their pronunciation should feel free to contact me.

Ippei (いっぺい、一平)
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.

Giorgia B.
I have never liked boring lessons and I like dynamism, so I would define myself a teacher who likes that students can learn having fun and with joy. At the same time, I adore grammar and I think it is very important to study and internalize it in order to speak well a foreign language. Finally, during my classes I like to speak a little bit about culture of the language we are studying and to do some language structure’s comparisons which are very interesting to understand how languages work (a little bit of linguistics help).

Top 1% Japanese Teacher! Learn to Speak Like a Local with a Native Teacher As a language teacher, I aim to be patient, engaging, and motivating, and focus on making the student feel confident when speaking in Japanese. I know that studying Japanese is not easy. And I love to help people chase their dream of speaking Japanese fluently. I would like to teach you without the use of any textbooks because those are so different from what we actually use in real conversation. So I would love to focus on improving your conversation skills by providing you with slang, useful phrases, and more of what we actually use.

Yoshi Shimizu
Native Japanese, fluent in English. Great communication skills and international cultural knowledge. I first got involved in teaching Japanese as a conversation tutor when I was at the university in San Francisco, USA. Since then, I love working with people from different cultural backgrounds. This is also one of the reasons why I became a documentary photographer. I have visited over 90 countries to document different cultures and people. For the joy of teaching, I have also taught photography at workshops. Teaching requires a great deal of patience and communication artistry which also apply to become a good photographer as well. In general, it is truly rewarding to see my students succeed in learning skills.

日本語教師養成講座を修了、オンライン・オフライン含めて8年以上の教師経験があります。 I believe that everyone has their own reason for wanting to learn Japanese—whether it’s to learn about the culture, use it for work, or study abroad. Drawing on the language and communication skills I developed as an international flight attendant, I strive to quickly understand each student’s needs and offer lesson plans that match their level and goals. However, in any class, I place the most importance on giving students time to actively participate and express themselves. I want to help as many people as possible experience the joy of communicating their thoughts in a foreign language and the satisfaction of being understood.

Kana
Your supportive teacher who is familiar with 4 other languages and cross cultural experience •Linguistic background: My major was English literature and linguistics. So I know what methods are effective for learning. I will share tips that helped in my studies. •Linguistic empathy : With a background in linguistics and experience studying English, Spanish, French, and Korean, I have a deep understanding of how different languages work. While I mainly teach in Japanese and English, my knowledge of these languages helps me understand the specific challenges you face based on your native grammar! •Real-World Experience: I spent a year in Montreal, Canada. I’ve felt the frustration of not being able to communicate, so I promise a judgment-free space where you can go at your own pace.

Friendly Native Japanese in Japan 🇯🇵 | Natural Conversation & Real-Life Japanese 🇯🇵 For me, it is important that you study actively. Learning a new language takes time and steady effort. The more exposure you have, the faster your skills will improve. Anything you do in Japanese counts as study—reading manga, watching anime, listening to music, and more. If you want, I can also give you homework tailored to your goals. Everyone has their own most effective way to learn, and I know I’m not the perfect teacher for everyone. (Have you ever had this experience? A friend says they absolutely love a new chocolate, but when you try it, it’s not that great for you — something like that 😊) But if you take the time to try a lesson with me, I promise I’ll always do my very best.
