Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

For learners committed to steady progress 🌸 Using Genki + Intermediate Grammar ※Video was taken in 2022 Hello! I'm a certified Japanese teacher with 4 years of online teaching experience. I'm calm, kind, and always happy to support your learning at your own pace. I studied political science at university. I have lived in Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo in Japan, as well as in France, Morocco, and Finland. In my free time, I enjoy traveling, cooking, and hand crafts. I like knitting, making beaded accessories. I also enjoy designing hand-knitted socks🪴 I also love learning languages—I studied French at university, have explored Arabic and Finnish a little, and now I'm learning Russian. I teach students who have already learned hiragana and katakana, ranging from upper beginners to advanced learners. Having taught students from many different backgrounds and levels, I always strive to create a relaxed and friendly learning environment where students can enjoy learning and gain confidence in speaking. My lessons are especially helpful for those who want to improve their speaking and listening skills. I’m particularly good at helping students practice natural, real-life conversation in Japanese. In our lessons, we will mainly use well-known textbooks such as Genki (for beginner to pre-intermediate level) and 中級を学ぼう (for intermediate learners). I can also customize the lesson content depending on your goals and interests. I encourage students to ask questions anytime and speak without worrying about making mistakes—practice is the key to improvement!

Certified teacher who not only knows English but also knows how to teach Japanese to English speaker I am a bilingual Japanese teacher qualified in Australia. I offer native fluency and deep cultural insight, providing authentic and culturally relevant learning materials. I can explain Japanese grammar clearly in English — something teachers without training in English-language instruction, AI tools, and self-study resources often struggle to do. My Western educational background also helps me bridge cultural and linguistic gaps for English-speaking learners. I have been teaching on italki since 2013, supporting students from absolute beginners to advanced levels (N5–N1), especially those who take an active role in learning. Thanks to my students, I have become one of the most experienced Japanese teachers on italki. I offer two types of lessons Informal Tutoring (Developing verbal communication skills without textbooks or set plans) A relaxed space to practise speaking. I correct errors during conversation. This course is only for learners who are already comfortable speaking Japanese. Professional Structured Lessons (Developing verbal communication skills while building a strong foundation through lesson plans and learning materials) Using textbooks, Japanese educational resources, and news articles. I also assist with homework, proofreading, and exam preparation. The ability to recognise hiragana is essential.

A friendly and talkative teacher of Russian and Japanese:) I have many students off-line, and we enjoy a conversation class. I want my students to spend a great time while learning, not only to get some new information, but also to release some stress from work and have a lot of of positive emotions. Also what I consider important is to help students learn some new vocabulary during the class, as I think it can be the most difficult part when you struggle with language learning. So I suggest to learn new words and practice them immediately by using those words during the class in different forms.

I am a qualified Japanese teacher living in the U.K. for 30 years. My lessons are relaxed and fun. I have MSc in Applied Linguistics and I have passed Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test in 90s. I have taught Japanese as a foreign language for 7 years in total from teenager to business person both in group lessons and private lessons. イギリスに25年以上住んでいます。エジンバラ大学で応用言語学の修士を取りました。

わたしも外国に住んでいますので、外国語を話すことのむずかしさを理解しています。 同時に、話せる時の楽しさも実感しています。 その土地の人々と会話し、文化にふれることは、その土地の言葉を好きになり、じょうずに話せるようになる上で役立ってきました。 それで、外国語の上達には、ネイティブスピーカーと会話することがとても大切だと考えています。 私は英語をあまり話せません。おもに日本語で会話してゆきます。 Ben de başka ülkede yaşıyorum. Bu yüzden yabancı dil öğrenmenin ne kadar zor olduğunu aynı zamanda ne kadar güzel olduğunu da öğrendim. Türk insanlarla konuşarak, güzel yemekleri tadarak,ayrıca eski tarihli inceleyerek Türkçeyi öğrendim. Bunlar Türkçemin gelişmesine çok etkiledi. Japonca öğrendiğinizde birlikte sohbet etmek size çok yarar sağlar. Maalesef İngilizcem çok zayıf. normalde Japonca ile sohbet edelim.

Certified native Japanese teacher with over 15 years teaching experience (Conversation & JLPT Prep). I majored "Japanese language as foreign language" in my University. The course was designed for people who would like to teach Japanese to foreigners. It was great opportunity to meet foreign students who plan to be Japanese teachers in their countries. I could learn that commonsense makes sense only in where I grew up. Sharing ideas and knowledge for developing and enjoying our lives is the most wonderful thing. Of course "learning language" is a gate to know about other people who have different backgrounds. Would you like to share your ideas with me?

I was born and raised in Tokyo, so I speak standard Japanese. I have a junior and senior high school teaching license in English. I worked for a major Japanese company for about 10 years, so I can also teach business conversation and manners. I am a certified Japanese language teacher. 私（わたし）は東京（とうきょう）で生（う）まれ育（そだ）ったので、標準語（ひょうじゅんご）を話（はな）します。英語（えいご）の中高教員免許（ちゅうこうきょういんめんきょ）を持（も）っています。 日本（にほん）の大手企業（おおてきぎょう）に約（やく）１０年（ねん）勤（つと）めていたのでビジネス会話（かいわ）やマナーなども教（おし）えることができます。 420時間日本語教師養成講座（にほんごきょうしようせいこうざ）を修了（しゅうりょう）しています。
