Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

Let's learn in a relaxed and enjoyable way, Studied linguistics in the UK and Slovenia Hello. My name is Mai. I have been interested in languages since I was a child and have been studying foreign languages for many years. As language learning isn’t always plain sailing, I believe I can empathise with how learners feel. In Japan, I taught introductory, beginner and intermediate Japanese courses as part of a training programme. As these were short courses, I worked intensively with the students. In Malaysia, I worked as an assistant to a local teacher at a secondary school. I provided one-to-one tuition to transfer students who had no prior experience of learning Japanese. Currently, I teach mainly online. In my lessons, I cater to learners seeking both short-term and long-term study programmes. Making the most of the benefits of one-to-one tuition, I focus primarily on conversation whilst also covering grammar, reading and writing. I also offer lessons tailored to specific purposes, such as JLPT, Japanese for customer service, academic Japanese and job interviews in Japanese. I will tailor the learning approach to suit your individual needs. Please feel free to get in touch.

4+ Years | 4,000+ Lessons |I help 📖 learners speak naturally without relying on their textbook. You've bought bunch of textbooks. You've done the Duolingo streaks. And yet — the moment a real conversation happens, your mind goes blank. I KNOW that feeling. And I KNOW exactly why it happens. こんにちは! I'm Kana, from Kyoto 🍵 — Japan's ancient capital. I studied English all through school in Japan, then went abroad to the US and Canada. And when someone said "How's it going" — I froze. Completely. Not a single word came out. All those years of study. Gone in a second. I still remember the heat in my face. The way I looked at the floor. The voice in my head that said: maybe I'm just not good at this. That moment changed how I teach forever. Most Japanese language programs — even professional ones — use the same method Japan used on me: grammar and rules first, speaking later. In my lessons, you will never read a sentence like "Watashi wa shinbun wo yomimasu." — "I read the newspaper." Nobody says that. Nobody needs that. Because here's what I know after 4 years of teaching: language only sticks when it's connected to something real — a moment you've lived, a conversation you actually need, a feeling you want to express. My lessons start with your real life — the exact situations you are walking toward. The Izakaya. The family dinner. The workplace. We practice the conversations that actually matter to you, until they stop feeling like Japanese and start feeling like you. 📚Book a trial lesson. Tell me the moment you're most nervous about.That's exactly where we start.
