Learn Japanese with Fun, Energy, and Personalized Guidance I’m passionate about helping students achieve their Japanese language goals. Whether you’re a beginner or want to refine your skills, I offer personalized lessons to fit your needs. As a non-native English speaker, I understand how easy it is to make mistakes without noticing them. That’s why I focus on correcting all your errors—big or small—something you won’t often get in casual conversations. In my lessons, I provide clear explanations and practical tips to help you use Japanese naturally. I strive to create a supportive environment where you can learn confidently and ask questions freely.

会話しながら文法も学びたい♩LEARNING GRAMMAR AND FIXING REPEATED ERRORS AND HABITS WHILE ENJOYING CONVERSATION♩ I am friendly and honest teacher, always do my best to help you! I am passionate about helping students to understand complicated topics by making them simple, or to distinguish similar meaning words by giving detailed explanations. My lesson is focusing on NATURAL DAILY CONVERSATION ( not for tests, but I can help if you share your study materials :) So PLEASE HAVE MEMORIZED ALL HIRAGANA before your first lesson. I’m NOT certificated teacher and not fluent in English, so I might not be the best one to answer your questions sometimes, especially about nuances between similar expressions in English. Of course I try my best finding answers and get it back to you as soon as possible!

Kara (BEd & BA Ling)
Ex-school teacher who not only knows English but also knows how to teach Japanese to English speaker I am a professional Japanese teacher and have been teaching with italki since 2013. I can assist absolute beginner to highly advanced level students (including N5-N1 preparation), who are willing to manage aspects of their own learning. Thanks to many of my students, I have been become one of the most experienced Japanese teachers at italki. I use PPT and Word documents to explain grammar points, etc. in English. My native language is Japanese, but I am trained and qualified to teach in Australia and I feel more comfortable explaining Japanese in English. This approach can be especially helpful for English-speaking students. For advanced learners, I may use little to no English.
