Practical Japanese for Real Communication 🗣️🌸 From N5 Beginners to Upper-Intermediate in Tokyo 🗼 I’m Rinko. 🍎 I’m a certified Japanese teacher based in Tokyo. As of September 2026, I have 3+ years of teaching experience and have taught 2,500+ lessons through online and in-person classes. 🗼 You can start with confidence, even if you don’t read hiragana or katakana yet. 🌸 Learn Japanese you can actually use. My lessons focus on real communication, not just memorizing grammar and vocabulary. I explain natural Japanese, including differences in meaning and nuance. We also practice free conversation using the grammar you have learned, while picking up new vocabulary and expressions. My goal is to help you turn what you study into Japanese you can actually speak. 🌱 Beginners (N5) • Hiragana & Katakana • Basic grammar • Conversation 🌿 Intermediate & Upper-Intermediate We’ll practice conversation through topics such as daily life, news, hobbies, and work. If you know grammar but find it difficult to speak, I’ll help you turn that knowledge into real communication. JLPT preparation: N5–N3. 🧠 Choosing the right teacher matters. Feeling comfortable speaking, asking questions, and making mistakes is important for improving. If my photo or video gives you the feeling that we might be a good fit, or that my speaking style and rhythm suit you, feel free to reach out! ✨ I enjoy anime, rock music, history, and economics, and bring these topics into my lessons. Let’s build your Japanese communication skills together! ✨

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.

Fun, conversational Japanese lessons with an Osaka-native & Germany-based tutor Hi, I'm Riho! I teach conversational Japanese the fun way, so you can speak from day one. Originally from Osaka, I graduated from a top bilingual university in Japan and later completed a master's degree in the UK. After living in London for three years, I recently relocated to Germany. 🛤️ A little bit about my own language learning journey: I started studying English when I was 12 and achieved an advanced level (C1) in 6 years without living abroad. I've recently started learning German too! I offer conversational Japanese lessons for all levels - whether you're just starting out or a seasoned learner, I'm here to support your journey. 💚 My lessons are a great fit if you: - Want practical 'survival' Japanese for travelling or living in Japan - Prefer learning useful phrases and words before grammar and alphabets - Want to build or maintain conversational Japanese with a native speaker If you're a beginner, we'll start with everyday phrases you can use right away with support in English. If you're an intermediate or advanced learner, our lessons will centre on real conversations about topics you choose. While I normally speak standard Japanese in my lessons, I can also speak the Kansai/Osaka dialect if you're interested in learning or getting used to the dialect. I look forward to seeing you in class!

Turn Grammar into Conversation | N4+ | English OK 😊 Hello! I'm Mitsuko, a Japanese teacher with several years of teaching experience. Do you ever feel like this? - "I studied grammar, but I can't use it in conversation." • "I know a lot of Japanese, but the words don't come out." • "I want to speak more naturally." Many intermediate learners face these challenges. My lessons are especially helpful for learners at around the N3 level who want to turn their Japanese knowledge into real communication skills. 【Lesson example】 ◆ Conversation + Grammar Review (N4) Review N4 grammar through dialogues, shadowing, and conversation practice. ◆ Quartet Lessons (N3) Improve reading, listening, speaking, and writing skills while learning to use Japanese naturally. ◆ Articles and News Read articles, learn vocabulary, summarize the content, and discuss your ideas in Japanese. Beginners are also very welcome. We can start from hiragana and basic grammar step by step. 【Why study with me?】 ✓ Lesson notes after every lesson. ✓ English support for beginners. ✓ Lessons that match your level and pace. My motto is: "Good fortune comes to those who smile." I love movies, history, mystery novels and anime 🥰 Right now, I'm really into Dr. Stone and Haikyuu! I'd love to hear about your interests and goals, too. I look forward to meeting you in class!

Absolute beginners are welcome😊 Let's study Japanese language and the culture behind it together! Born in Tokyo and raised in Kanagawa, I now call Oregon home after moving from Japan a few years ago. As an intercultural communication specialist (BA & MA), I love bridging cultures through language—especially with beginners! When not teaching, I’m baking, binge-watching shows, sewing, or traveling. I love animals (I have 6 fur babies), and your pets are welcome to join lessons anytime to make learning relaxed and fun. Let’s explore Japanese language *and* culture together! 東京生まれ、神奈川育ち、数年前からオレゴン在住です。国際文化学専攻(学士・修士)の経験を活かし、初心者にも優しく日本語と文化を教えています。レッスン以外ではお菓子作りや旅行、Netflix鑑賞をしていることが多いです。動物が好きなので(6匹飼っています)、ペットと一緒にレッスンに参加するのも大歓迎です!リラックスした雰囲気で、一緒に楽しく学びましょう! I started teaching Japanese in 2013 as a volunteer in my hometown, and completed all the requirements of the Japanese Language Teacher Training Course in 2020. I have met people from more than 30 countries through this teaching career so far and I really enjoy teaching the language and the culture. 2013年に地元でボランティア講師として日本語を教え始め、2020年に日本語教師の資格を取得しました。日本語を教えることを通じて今まで30カ国以上の人に出会い、日本語と日本の文化を教えることをとても楽しんでいます。 Because italki is mainly for private lessons, I would like to focus on what and how the students want to study. I think studying Japanese in Japanese is a bit too hard sometimes (especially for beginners), so I would love to help students by using English if needed. If you are interested in my lessons, please feel free to message me. For the cancellation policy, please check the lesson booking page.
