English-Japanese translator but also teaching Japanese Hello! I'm Orie from Japan. My main jobs are English-Japanese translation and interpretation but I also teach Japanese online and in person. I love motorcycles, outdoor activities, and Anime. My husband and I do Anime night instead of movie night pretty often. If you have any suggestion what I should watch next, please tell me ! I started learning English when I was 25 years old but I wasn't able to speak English at all in the beginning. I slowly learned and I am now fluent in English. Because I struggled, I know how difficult it is to speak another language and I will never laugh at any mistakes and will walk through the journey with you. I've taught over 500+ hours on a different platform and switched to Italki. Although I have 3 +years of experience teaching Japanese, I am still learning how to teach efficiently. I mainly teach casual conversation or N5-3 classes. Whenever you cannot understand my Japanese, I can switch to English to explain if it's needed. I might not be the most experienced teacher however, I will do my best to explain and motivate you to keep going. Please note that italki does not allow classes to be rescheduled within 24 hours of the scheduled lesson. In accordance with italki’s policy, and to ensure fairness to all of my students and avoid conflicts with other scheduled lessons, I’m unable to accommodate rescheduling requests made less than 24 hours before the lesson. Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.

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 !

In 2017, I passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test and became Japanese teacher. My first job is teaching Japanese for the beginner’s course in Tokyo, and then in Vietnam for 2 and a half years. Contents are business Japanese, how to pass the JLPT, pronunciation, and so on. The class of pronunciation was well-received for staff who work at Japanese hotels in Vietnam. I would like to be a teacher who continues to grow together with everyone, without being what I am doing now. 2017年、日本語教育能力検定試験に合格して日本語教師になりました。はじめは東京の日本語学校で初級のクラスを教えました。 その後、ベトナムで2年半、いろいろな人にいろいろな日本語を教えました。へビジネス日本語、JLPTの試験対策、発音・・。特に発音のレッスンは、日系のホテルで働く人たちから高い評価をいただきました。 今の自分に満足せずに、成長し続ける教師でありたいと思っています。

GENKI/Travel Japanese/Japanese Study Coaching (Build a Daily Study Habit)✏️ Hi, I'm Kanako! I'm a professional Japanese teacher based in Tokyo, and I've been teaching Japanese since 2020. Before becoming a teacher, I lived in Canada for three years for study and work. Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling around Japan, discovering local food, trying new recipes, and baking. If you love Japan, Japanese food, or travel, I'm sure we'll have plenty to talk about! In my lessons, I create a relaxed and supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace. I don't rush my students, and I enjoy getting to know them personally. My lessons usually start with free conversation and a quick review of homework or a quiz. Then, we'll learn new grammar and practice using it in conversation. I encourage you to think for yourself and give hints when needed, while providing lesson notes and support along the way. Many of my students have continued studying with me for years. They often describe me as patient, friendly, and easy to talk to. You may notice that some of my reviews are older. I took some time away from italki during maternity leave and focused on teaching outside the platform. I'm now gradually reopening my schedule and accepting a limited number of students again. If you're looking for a patient and supportive teacher who will respect your pace while gently guiding you toward your goals, I'd love to meet you! I look forward to seeing you in class!

Native Japanese, fluent in English. Great communication skills and international cultural knowledge. I first got involved in teaching Japanese as a conversation tutor when I was at the university in San Francisco, USA. Since then, I love working with people from different cultural backgrounds. This is also one of the reasons why I became a documentary photographer. I have visited over 90 countries to document different cultures and people. For the joy of teaching, I have also taught photography at workshops. Teaching requires a great deal of patience and communication artistry which also apply to become a good photographer as well. In general, it is truly rewarding to see my students succeed in learning skills.
