Drawing on my experiences living in Sydney and California, as well as my background in surfing, I offer practical, real-world Japanese lessons from a mobile classroom.

Japanese for Adults | Supportive Tutor with a Background in Psychology. Let's begin!! Are you looking for a fulfilling new hobby to enrich your life? I have taught Japanese language, culture, and ways of thinking to many learners. My conversational lessons use "やさしい日本語(Simple Japanese)," covering both polite and informal expressions. Therefore, my lessons are geared towards mature learners in their 40s and 50s who enjoy the process of exploration, whether for travel, cultural interest, or intellectual challenge. Of course, I also provide preparation for those who wish to take the JLPT. I value the joy of understanding a new language and expressing oneself beautifully and naturally. I will help you enjoy every moment of the lesson. Let's begin a fulfilling new chapter together! I am a professional Japanese language teacher who has taught over 1,100 lessons. I have completed a 420-hour Japanese language teacher training course. I understand the challenges of learning a new language later in life. However, having transitioned myself to teaching Japanese at the age of 60, I think that it's never too late to take on a new challenge. With my background in psychology, I support my students' motivation and emotional well-being as well as teaching grammar. My teaching approach is based on the concept of "やさしい日本語", which is a considerate communication method designed to facilitate effective and stress-free interaction. [Lesson Style] -Slow, kind, and easy to follow -Friendly support for learners in their 40s and 50s -English support available when needed

A Nationally Certified Japanese Teacher with Over 1,300 Lessons of Experience ***【登録日本語教員】 I am a professional Japanese teacher with over 10 years of experience, dedicated to helping students master practical, real-life Japanese. Many of my students are repeat learners who have chosen to study with me for years, and I am grateful for the strong skills and friendships we have built together. I believe that language and culture are deeply connected, so I love sharing all aspects of Japanese culture in my lessons—whether it’s delicious food, unique traditions, or the latest trends in Japan. This makes every lesson lively, engaging, and relevant to everyday life. Before becoming a teacher, I graduated from university and worked in the marketing department of a Japanese apparel company. This background allows me to support students who are planning to travel to Japan and who want to learn business Japanese. After getting married and having two daughters, I decided to pursue my passion for teaching and began studying to become a Japanese teacher. I earned my teaching qualification in 2016, and since then, connecting with learners from all over the world has become my greatest joy. I always strive to create a warm, friendly atmosphere in my lessons, making each session feel like a relaxed conversation rather than a formal class. For me, teaching Japanese is much more than just a job—it is my true calling and a source of real happiness in my life.

Let's learn REAL Japanese with me! Hello, I'm Nozzy! I'm from Japan. I was born and raised in Osaka and grew up in Yokohama next to Tokyo. So I can speak both standard Japanese and Osakaben which has dialects and accents from south. I have been living in many different places in Japan, the US, Canada, Australia and travelled 26 countries so far. Since 2020, I started teaching English online. Teaching language was much more fun than I thought. That is why I started teaching Japanese as well. Through my experiences and knowledge, I share the culture with my students and teach REAL Japanese without a textbook. After all of my experiences in abroad, I learnt language was just a tool of communication. Learning and understanding international culture helps to improve your communicational skill. This is why I always choose topics related to your culture, lifestyle, and your preferences for our lessons. Age: 10 years old or older If you are younger than 10, you can take my group lessons with adult. Level: Beginner - Intermediate If you are a beginner of Japanese, do not worry at all. I taught many students like you. You will get there! Lesson Style: No textbook or homework unless you wanted. I create lesson plans for you based on your level, goal, and your preference. See you in my trial lesson and let's discuss what's best for you !

Conversation × Kanji Specialist | Efficient Study for Passing the JLPT 🇯🇵 Hello! I am a self-employed Japanese teacher and website operator. I previously worked for 4 years at Japanese companies (bank and construction). Now, I support learners with over 1,000 hours of teaching experience! 🔸Features of My Lessons I focus on the following two points: ① Speaking-focused (practical conversation) I prioritize actual speaking, not just grammar explanation.

Key points: 👉 I speak slowly based on your level 👉 English is OK at first 👉 Mistakes are welcome Even beginners can build speaking skills with confidence! ② Learn Kanji with “Core Images” About 2,136 kanji are needed for reading Japanese. Memorizing alone is inefficient, so guidance is essential. Key points: 👉 Learn core meanings of kanji 👉 Fun, puzzle-like learning 👉 Boost vocabulary efficiently Perfect for learners who struggle with kanji! 🔸Lesson Content ・Beginner–Intermediate: GENKI + original materials ・Advanced: Conversation / Pronunciation / JLPT JLPT lessons use TRY for efficient study. 📌After lessons: → Vocabulary list provided → Review support included 🔸Experience ・1,000+ teaching hours ・JLPT N5–N2 🔸Hobbies ・Backpacking (Asia) ・Dogs / Soccer ・Anime / K-drama ・Piano / Comedy 🔸Message Learning a language can feel lonely and hard. But studying and talking with a Japanese teacher boosts motivation! Why not make Japanese learning enjoyable? Feel free to message me anytime 👍
