✅Effective, beginner-friendly lessons with a structured approach! Language learning enthusiast 🌈 Hello! I’m a Japanese teacher based in Japan, with over seven years of experience teaching Japanese and English. Although I was born in Japan, I moved to Peru when I was two and lived there for over 15 years. Growing up in a multilingual environment, I became fluent in Japanese, Spanish, and English. I have also studied several other languages and spent a year as an exchange student in South Korea. As a language learner myself, I understand the challenges of learning a new language. I tailor each lesson to your level and goals, helping you improve your speaking, pronunciation, vocabulary, grammar, and confidence. Beginners can build a solid foundation step by step, while intermediate and advanced learners can develop fluency through natural conversation. I am also happy to answer questions about Japanese language, culture, history, and daily life in Japan. In my free time, I enjoy reading, studying languages (currently Swedish and Polish), and spending time with my dog. I look forward to learning about your country and culture too! Please note: Beginner and intermediate students should be able to communicate in English or Spanish. I currently accept students aged 18 and above. Lessons canceled with less than 24 hours’ notice cannot be rescheduled. No refunds are provided for missed lessons.

Meaningful Japanese Conversations|Discover Japan, Share Your Culture, Speak Naturally You studied Japanese. Now, let's learn how to USE it. Have you ever felt this way? “I passed the JLPT, but I still can't speak Japanese naturally.” “I know grammar and vocabulary, but I can't find the right words when I speak.” “I can understand Japanese, but real conversations are difficult.” If this sounds familiar, my conversation lessons may be for you. Turn the Japanese you KNOW into Japanese you can actually USE. The JLPT is a great way to build your Japanese knowledge. But knowing grammar and vocabulary is different from using them naturally in conversation. In my 60-minute lessons, we talk about topics that interest you — everyday life, culture, travel, food, work, and more. I guide the conversation, help you express what you want to say, and give you feedback on natural expressions and word choice. My lessons are especially suitable if you: ✓ Have studied Japanese grammar and vocabulary ✓ Have passed or are preparing for the JLPT ✓ Understand Japanese but struggle to speak ✓ Want to speak more naturally ✓ Want to express your own thoughts in Japanese I also have three years of experience as a writer, so I pay special attention to word choice and nuance. You don't need to speak perfect Japanese. Let's take the Japanese you already know and turn it into Japanese you can actually use. I look forward to talking with you!

All levels are welcome, from beginner to advanced, including TOPIK exam preparation. When I was in Korea, I taught Japanese to Korean students. After moving to Australia, I began teaching Korean to foreign learners and completed a Korean language teacher training program to support my students more effectively. I enjoy making Korean easy to understand and fun to learn. Even difficult grammar points can be explained clearly with the right approach, and I’m here to guide you step by step. Let’s work together to improve your Korean with confidence 😊

Japanese Top 1 % Teacher,Learning with Your Passion for Anime/Manga/Video game Let me tell you the story about why I wanted to be an italki teacher. After graduating from university, I went to study abroad in Canada. At that time, I mainly hung out with my Otaku friends in Canada. We had different languages, but the same passion for the same hobbies. Then I realized that “Learning language makes my life much more fun.” Anime and my Otaku friends motivated me to improve my English skills a lot! So now, I’d like to do the same by teaching Japanese for those who have the same passion as me!

Certified Tutor🌸5+ Years Experience🌸5,000+ Lessons🌸English-Friendly Hi there! I'm a native Japanese speaker who studied English and lived in the U.S. for 10 years, so no worries if you are a complete beginner✌ I also love manga and anime, so let's chat about them in Japanese 😄 I learned English as a second language myself, and I'm currently studying Korean, Spanish, and Turkish. So I know how fun and exciting language learning can be and also how frustrating and challenging it can feel! If you're nervous about making mistakes, don't worry. I've made countless mistakes while learning languages, and that's how we learn! If you've been thinking, "I wish I could speak Japanese someday," why not start now? Imagine where you could be three months from now. You might already be talking about yourself, your hobbies, and your daily life in Japanese! 🍙 My Lessons 🍙 🌸 Beginner Level🌸 Never studied Japanese before? No worries! Let's start with Hiragana. I use Genki-based materials for these lessons. You will be able to say things like... "This movie was very interesting!" "Excuse me, could you tell me how to get to Tokyo Station?" 🌸 Intermediate Level🌸 Finished Genki or Minna no Nihongo Elementary? Let's move on to intermediate Japanese! I mainly use Quartet for these lessons. I also have Tobira if you prefer. In these lessons, we will focus on grammar, conversation, and reading practice while expanding your range of expressions in Japanese. * These lessons are designed for students aged 16 and older.

Structure is 99%, but It’s Context That Makes It Real—Miss the Context, Miss the Meaning! I specialize in helping ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS to intermediate learners who feel STUCK or don’t know WHERE TO START. My lessons are LOGICAL and STRUCTURED, breaking Japanese into manageable pieces to build your confidence step by step. I know the struggles—particles, conjugations, て forms—but I’ll show you not just “what” to use, but “WHY” it works. My focus is on real-world applications: mastering casual conversations, expressing opinions, and understanding cultural nuances. Every mistake is a stepping stone. My teaching is clear, encouraging, and always tailored to your unique learning style.

Let's have a lot of fun with learning Japanese! ニュージーランドの公立高校で日本語を教えていた経験を活かし、オンラインで、様々な国の方々へ日本語を教えてきました。今や、語学を学ぶこと・教えることは私の人生の喜びです。 自分自身の経験から、まずは実践の会話を経験することが一番大切だと思っています。 ”話せた!楽しい!”と思うことが、最大のモチベーションとなります。 その中で、新しい単語との出会いを演出し、文法を自然と理解していけるようにしていきます。 I have experience teaching Japanese at a public high school in New Zealand and since I came back to Japan, I've helped people from around the world learn Japanese online. Learning and teaching languages is absolutely a joy in my life. From my own experience, I think having actual conversations is the best way for learning languages. Feeling "It's fun! I can speak!" is your biggest motivation! During the conversations, I will show you new vocabulary and let you understand grammar naturally.
