An FBI-inspired method to help you speak sooner I was born in Germany and moved to the United States when I was twenty. I have been teaching while pursuing my acting career in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Germany. I have taught adults and children from many backgrounds for more than 25 years. I teach German and English at all levels, and beginners in French and Japanese. My teaching is clear, encouraging, and structured. Students describe me as patient, positive, and easy to understand. I want you to feel safe speaking, making mistakes, and improving step by step. What makes my approach special is that I use language-learning principles inspired by how institutions such as the CIA and FBI train languages: quick recall, immediate sentence building, and active speaking from the beginning. The key is not just memorizing words, but using them instantly. We practice vocabulary through interval recall while forming real sentences, so your brain learns to retrieve the language naturally. I also use pictures for simple prompt-and-response conversations. This helps even beginners speak from the start: I show or describe something, ask guided questions, and help you answer in complete sentences. CANCELLATION POLICY I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. Please use the italki system to reschedule or cancel lessons with more than 24 hours’ notice. Please do not request rescheduling within 24 hours. If you cannot attend, let me know and schedule a new lesson online. I appreciate you and value your time.

Certified teacher who not only knows English but also knows how to teach Japanese to English speaker I am a bilingual Japanese teacher qualified in Australia. I offer native fluency and deep cultural insight, providing authentic and culturally relevant learning materials. I can explain Japanese grammar clearly in English — something teachers without training in English-language instruction, AI tools, and self-study resources often struggle to do. My Western educational background also helps me bridge cultural and linguistic gaps for English-speaking learners. I have been teaching on italki since 2013, supporting students from absolute beginners to advanced levels (N5–N1), especially those who take an active role in learning. Thanks to my students, I have become one of the most experienced Japanese teachers on italki. I offer two types of lessons Informal Tutoring (Developing verbal communication skills without textbooks or set plans) A relaxed space to practise speaking. I correct errors during conversation. This course is only for learners who are already comfortable speaking Japanese. Professional Structured Lessons (Developing verbal communication skills while building a strong foundation through lesson plans and learning materials) Using textbooks, Japanese educational resources, and news articles. I also assist with homework, proofreading, and exam preparation. The ability to recognise hiragana is essential.

▶︎ A multipassionate entrepreneur Japanese tutor I completed a four-year Japanese teacher training program at university, including two teaching practicums, and have hands-on volunteer teaching experience. But what truly sets me apart is my deep, personal connection to Japanese culture. I grew up in a traditional household with my grandparents, who were born in the Meiji era, though I didn't fully appreciate it until I moved abroad.

As a language learner, I totally understand how the student feel when learning a language. The reason why I became a teacher is because I wanted to help those people who struggle learning Japanese. I believe that the way to study language is not only one way. Each of us have to find our best way.
