Japanese teacher with a linguistics background. Helping you build confidence in Japanese Have you been studying Japanese, but still don’t feel confident speaking it? Hello! I'm Kana, a Japanese teacher who specializes in helping beginners build a strong foundation so they can communicate naturally. I majored in linguistics and have studied four foreign languages myself, so I understand that every learner has different goals, challenges, and ways of learning. As someone who is currently learning Spanish myself, I also understand both the excitement and the frustration of learning a new language. My priority is to create a relaxed and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable making mistakes. Making mistakes is a natural part of learning, and every mistake is a step toward speaking more confidently. You don't need perfect Japanese to communicate or connect with people. I want you to experience the joy of connecting with others through Japanese without worrying about making mistakes. Every lesson is personalized to match your goals, learning style, and pace. I combine clear grammar lessons with practical conversation practice to help you build a strong foundation and the confidence to use Japanese naturally. Whether you're just starting your Japanese journey, want to improve your conversation skills, or are preparing for the JLPT, I'll tailor every lesson to help you reach your goals. Let's enjoy learning Japanese together, and turn it into a language you can use with confidence. I'd love to help you achieve your Japanese goals!

I have been teaching Japanese face-to-face for 5 years I have been teaching Japanese face-to-face for 5 years I have a lot of experience teaching Japanese. Some of the students I've taught passed the JLPT N2 in just one year, even though they couldn't speak Japanese at all. The first step in learning Japanese is to not be afraid of making mistakes. It's okay to make mistakes, so let's talk a lot! The fastest way to improve is to talk a lot about your favorite Japanese topics. I'm looking forward to talking with you all

Don’t worry about mistakes! Relax, ask questions, and speak real Japanese with confidence. 「間違えたらどうしよう」と緊張して頭が真っ白になった経験はありませんか? AIとは気軽に話せるのに、生身の人間を前にすると言葉に詰まってしまう・・・そんな悩みを持つ生徒さんが、今では自分から堂々と会話を切り出せるようになっています。 語学学習のゴールは「言いたいことが言えること」、そして「相手の話が聞けること」の2つだけです。 そのために最も大切なのは、知識の詰め込みではなく「緊張をほどき、安心して失敗できる環境(Safe Space)」です。心理学・教育学の知見を取り入れ、まるで落ち着いたカフェにいるようなリラックスした空気づくりを徹底しています。 私のレッスンでは、受け身にならず自然に言葉が出てくる「3ステップ実践アプローチ」を取り入れています。 1 - 先生の質問・リアルなフレーズを聞く(日本人が本当によく使う自然な表現をインプット) 2 - 意味を理解して丸ごと覚える(発音やイントネーションのコツも伝授) 3 - 先生に同じ質問を投げ返してみる(自分から会話をリードする練習) 会話は「質問する側」に回ることで一気に主導権を握れます。相手の返答に対する関心が高まり、記憶の定着や「話せた!」という手応えが格段に変わります。 【レッスン外の自学自習も徹底サポート】 「レッスン内だけで終わらない上達サイクル」を作るため、AIツールや音読を活用した「独り言学習」の手順や、YouTube・ポッドキャストを使った効果的なインプット法もお伝えします。自学で準備した表現を、安心できるレッスン空間でどんどん試してください。 ◆ 提供レッスン内容 ・ネイティブとのリラックス・フリートーク(質問力と会話継続力の強化) ・興味に合わせたカスタムトピック(料理・キャンプ飯、音楽、映画、アニメ、歴史など) ・初級〜中級向け基礎レッスン(文法・語彙・発音をバランスよく定着) ・JLPTピンポイント対策(過去問分析と弱点補強) ・毎回のレッスン後フィードバック(使える表現・修正点のまとめをお届け) 毎回のセッションで新しい発見があり、終わった後に「気持ちが軽くなった!」と感じていただける時間をお約束します。まずは肩の力を抜いて、お気軽にお話ししましょう!

Not a teacher, but your ally :) Let's learn Japanese your way. Hi, I'm Midori! I've been teaching Japanese online since 2020 and have worked with more than 1,000 learners from all over the world. One thing I've learned over the years is that every student is different. Some people love grammar. Some want to improve their pronunciation. Some want structured lessons with homework. Others just want a comfortable place where they can practice speaking Japanese without feeling nervous. That's why I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach. I try to adjust my lessons to each student's goals, personality, and learning style. My lessons are usually relaxed, interactive, and conversation-focused. Making mistakes is completely okay here. In fact, mistakes are often the fastest way to improve. I enjoy meeting people from different countries and backgrounds, and I love hearing about my students' jobs, hobbies, cultures, and life experiences. So whether you want to study with a textbook, prepare for work or university, improve your conversation skills, or simply enjoy speaking Japanese, I'd be happy to support your journey. Let's learn Japanese together—at your pace, in your own way :)
