Mr. Pan
I used to teach English in high schools, so I know how to treat students fairly, especially when they don't know how to improve themselves. By the same token, when teaching Japanese, I will try to work with them and help them to reach their goals contingent to different situations that involve diversified students. 自分が子どもの頃から厳しい先生が嫌いなので、必ず面白い方法で日本語の世界へと誘ってあげます。而如果您的興趣是中文,充滿文化背景支持我也一定會為您創造一個有深度的的中文會話環境。

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

Manae
Let’s talk about YOUR life in Japanese | Friendly & curious teacher, conversations like friends Hello! I'm Manae. Please call me Manae or Manae-sensei! :) I started teaching Japanese on italki about one year ago and have met students from many different countries. Students often describe me as **kind, easy to talk to, and fun**. I love hearing about my students’ lives — their culture, daily routines, favorite movies, anime, or events in their country. For me, language learning is not only about grammar. It’s about communication and connection. My goal is to help you feel comfortable speaking Japanese and build confidence step by step.

Because it's easier to learn with a positive atmosphere.

Akane Sensei
Most Japanese kids lessons taught on italki! Licensed kindergarten teacher *:) I was working as a kindergarten teacher for three years after I graduated college. After that, I lived in the US for two years to learn English. I have experience as working at a Japanese language school and teaching Japanese language to private students. I've been a professional teacher for eight years. English is my second language, so I can empathize with others who are also learning a new language. 日本では大学卒業後、幼稚園教諭として3年間の経験があり子どもの拙い日本語を優しく指導してきました。そして英語を学ぶ為、渡米し二年間コロラド州に住んでいました。現地の日本語学校での職務経験とフリーランスとして多数の生徒たちに日本語を指導してきましたので、プロの講師としては8年目になります。英語は私の母国語ではないので、私も他言語を学んだ一人として、他言語を学ぶ人の気持ちがよくわかります。

Monica
Welcomes students at all levels—from complete beginners to those with some experience and beyond! I'll create a personalized lesson plan just for you, based on your goals, strengths, and things you'd like to improve. That’s why I really value good communication during our lessons. I’ve been teaching Japanese for 6 years since getting my teaching certificate in Tokyo. Even before that, I was volunteering as a Japanese tutor. As someone who’s learned English and a few other languages, I know how tough it feels when you start learning a language from scratch—so I always try to make lessons fun and easy to stick with. I also love sharing about Japanese culture, so you’ll get more out of your lessons and enjoy your future time in Japan even more!

Eve Eve
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.
