📜Certified English, Japanese & Indonesian Teacher with Japanese Manufacturing 🏭Industry Experience Hi, I’m Shuni. I was born in Indonesia to an English-speaking family, so I’m a native speaker of both English and Indonesian. Later, I learned Japanese as a second language. This background helps me understand both natural language acquisition and the challenges of learning a foreign language through grammar and structured study. As a certified teacher of English, Japanese, and Indonesian, I combine professional training, structured lesson planning, and real-world language experience. I’ve used all three languages in both teaching and workplace settings, helping students learn practical, natural communication. MY LESSONS are designed for students seeking a long-term, structured learning plan. Main materials include: • Japanese: Marugoto & Irodori • Indonesian: The Indonesian Way • English: British Council Resources I also create personalized lessons using supplementary materials based on each student’s level and goals. Lessons can be conducted in English, Indonesian, or Japanese. LESSON FOCUS areas: JAPANESE: • Grammar for absolute beginners to intermediate learners • Japanese Manufacturing Process Analysis ENGLISH & INDONESIAN: • Daily and business conversation • Story-based lessons for learners who enjoy reading-focused study HOMEWORK & PRACTICE: • Kahoot! game-based activities • Worksheets My students value my ability to explain grammar clearly while also helping them sound natural and authentic in real communication.

I can teach you daily Japanese conversation or formal conversation, starting from beginner’s level all the way to advanced depending on your needs. There is no doubt that Japanese is one of the world’s most difficult languages to learn, however, I am here to help you to learn Japanese in a fun and enjoyable way.

My first priority is students' interests and purposes of taking lessons. I'm here to help you attain your goals no matter what they are. I usually take students from intermediate to advanced level speakers since I'm a community tutor who don't have a structured series of courses with textbooks. For completely beginners and those who are younger than 18, I recommend to consider taking lessons with other professional tutors. My classes will also be good for those who are planning to visit Japan since I can provide lots of useful information of sightseeing spots, cultural perspectives and useful greetings/phrases/words as a traveler. 日本の文化や日本に来たときに役に立つあいさつやフレーズを教えることもできます。

Qualified Japanese teacher living in France🇫🇷 Hello, I'm Sayoko. I'm a qualified Japanese teacher. I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan but live in France now. I speak standard Japanese. My hobbies are travelling, watching movies, learning languages & reading books. Since 2018, I've taught Japanese to beginner students on a 1-1 basis. In 2022, I passed the Japanese language Teaching Competency Test. I've studied English at university and now I'm studying French so I understand how difficult it is to learn new languages. If necessary, I can speak English or French to clarify certain points. I use interactive activities so students can practise their language skills. I tailor the lessons to the needs of each individual student. Bonjour . Je suis Sayoko. Je suis professeur de japonais diplômé. Je suis née et j'ai grandi à Tokyo , mais je vis en France maintenant. Je parle japonais couramment. J'aime voyager, regarder des films, lire des livres, cuisiner. Je donne des cours particulier de japonais depuis 2018. J'ai obtenu le diplôme Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test en 2022. J'ai étudié l'anglais à l'université et j'étudie le français maintenant donc je comprends comme il est difficile d'apprendre une nouvelle langue. Si nécessaire je peux parler français et anglais pendant le cours. Mes cours sont interactifs donc les étudiants peuvent mettre en œuvre leur compétences. J'adapte les leçons aux besoins de chaque étudiant.

    こうすけさん has been extremely helpful over the course of three months. For the past year and a half, I went through Genki I and II by myself and it never felt like the grammar was sticking like it should, even with the use of Bunpro to help reinforce. Since my lessons have started, the constant review and reinforcement has given me much more confidence in my output and overall understanding of the Japanese language.

    Tatsuya san is so so good at maintaining the flow of a conversation, all while guiding me through sentence construction, grammar, and new vocabulary at the same time! Not once are there any awkward pauses as he creates a comfortable environment for me try speaking and make mistakes. It's really quite impressive. I would highly highly recommend!

    242 Stunden mit Sachiko als Lehrerin - wie die Zeit vergehen kann. Der Unterricht findet auf sehr gutem Deutsch und Japanisch statt - mittlerweile sogar mehr auf japanisch als auf deutsch. Die Dialoge sind meist auf Ereignissen der letzten Woche, wodurch man auch neue Vokabel kennen lernt. Sachiko ist immer pünktlich, gut vorbereitet, und steckt mit ihrer guten Laune immer an. Der Unterricht folgt einem "Lehrplan" analog einem Lehrbuch. Es wird aber nicht nur stumpf das Buch abgearbeitet sondern Grammatik / Kulturelles wird durch eigene, verständlichere Folien / Bilder erklärt. Zu Beginn jeder Unterrichtstunde gibt es einen Dialog / Sprechübung, in der man über Urlaubsbilder, Geschehnisse aus der letzten Woche o.Ä. spricht. Ansonsten sprechen die Zahlen für sich: Anzahl Studenten vs Anzahl Stunden: viele Studenten nehmen mehr als nur 1-3 Stunden bei ihr. 5 Sterne Bewertung bei > 7100 Stunden - findet mal eine 5 Sterne Google-Bewertung mit über 7100 Bewertungen.

    I'm 20+ lessons in with Jackie-san and she continues to be able to provide everything I need from a Japanese tutor. Today, I asked to review some older material that I hadn't fully learned yet and was thinking of a good apology to give since I felt like I was wasting her time, but she just laughed and pulled up all the material from all of our past lessons that was all tagged and time stamped. I was able to pick out the past material I had questions on and she was able to review it with me with nothing, but kindness and patience. I was struggling a bit today and she didn't mind keeping at my pace. This is usual for her which is why I've been back as many times as I have. Look for my name in her review history. I've tried to comprehensively cover everything about her and her teaching style, but I honestly can't. How do I explain in a review that I can get an in depth explanation about anything I want to ask ever and not be made to feel bad for not mastering everything I've seen yet?

    Isaac先生 is very kind and patient. I learnt a lot from this lesson. He also taught me some Hiroshima Dialect ,it was really fun. Thanks to his encouragement I can speak Japanese more easily. I recommend him to everyone.

    An amazing teacher to study Japanese with! Patient, kind and great at teaching nuance within Japanese grammar. She allows me to make the grammar my own by explaining all the ways certain structures and verbs are used, and in which contexts. Paying more attention to things I find difficult. I've already learned so much only within 2 lessons! ゆきえせんせい, ありがとうございま !

    I really enjoy working with Haru and appreciate how patient she is! Every lesson she provides a picture and we work through the details of the picture describing it. At the end of the lesson she sends me a one sheet review page over everything that we covered. This makes it very easy to brush up between lessons. This is great for someone who is trying to learn words in context or has learned Japanese in the past but need a refresher.

    I love my lessons with Shiota-Sensei! He has customised the lessons around my specific interests (board games and craft beer!) and makes the lessons very fun! He keeps in touch in between lessons with information relating to the topics we discussed. It feels like I'm just chatting with a good friend. I have been learning Japanese through apps and online tools and videos, and this is the first time working with a tutor. I'm finding it very helpful to learn more about how to have conversations. ありがとうございます

    Erina-san and I have gone through a whole textbook together and I am more confident than ever in my ability to speak Japanese. I have been able to take what I've learned from our lessons and use it in real conversation with native Japanese speakers. It's been a very fulfilling experience learning Japanese and I can't thank Erina-san enough for her time teaching!

    Still here after all these years! As you can see from the number of lessons I have had with Youhei-san, he is a wonderful teacher. He has taken me from a total beginner to someone who can have a conversation and understand podcasts. I hope to continue working with him for many years to come.

Frequently asked questions about online Japanese classes

Do I need a tutor to learn Japanese?

You can learn Japanese without a tutor using free apps, textbooks, and online videos, but it usually takes much longer. Self-study often lacks real speaking practice, immediate feedback, and clear guidance, which makes it harder to stay motivated and progress confidently.Hiring a Japanese language tutor is worth it because they provide personalised lessons, real-time correction on pronunciation and grammar, and structured learning designed around your goals, whether that’s everyday conversation, business Japanese, or passing the JLPT exam.

While it’s possible to learn without platforms like italki, doing so often feels overwhelming and slow because you don’t have a clear learning path or someone to hold you accountable. Combining private Japanese lessons from an online Japanese tutor with extra resources like kanji apps, flashcards, and podcasts gives you the best of both worlds, professional guidance to learn correctly and extra practice to accelerate your progress.

How much does a Japanese tutor cost per session?

Online Japanese lessons typically range from $15 to $60 per hour, depending on the tutor’s experience and lesson format. Many learners choose private Japanese tutors because they provide personalized guidance, instant correction, and real conversation practice that help them progress faster than studying alone.

On italki, you have access to both community and professional tutors, making it easy to find a Japanese teacher that matches your goals and budget. A 30-minute Japanese lesson typically costs between $3 and $10.

How quickly will I become fluent with a Japanese teacher?

Fluency in Japanese depends on your study habits, consistency, and starting level, but working with a Japanese teacher can significantly speed up your progress. Experts estimate that reaching professional working proficiency in Japanese takes about 2,200 hours of study. That said, you don’t need that much time to start speaking. Most learners reach a conversational level after 400–600 hours, which often means 6–12 months of regular tutoring.

Lessons are tailored to your needs, you receive hands-on guidance, and you practice real conversation in every session.This focused approach to Japanese teaching helps you stay consistent, motivated, and moves you toward higher levels of fluency.

Why should I use a Japanese language tutor to learn Japanese with italki?

Using a Japanese language tutor on italki helps you learn the Japanese you’ll actually use, not just textbook phrases, by focusing on real conversations, common expressions, and situations you encounter in daily life.

Your private Japanese tutor can help you practice conversation, review grammar, prepare for exams like the JLPT, or build confidence in speaking, with lessons customized to your level and pace. They correct mistakes on the spot, suggest natural ways to phrase things, and explain cultural context, so you communicate appropriately in any situation.

All lessons are available anytime online, and most operate on a pay-as-you-go system, so you only pay for the private Japanese lessons you take. For learners looking for extra support, italki Plus also offers an optional subscription with features like AI-powered study tools, exclusive events, and discounts.

How do italki's online Japanese classes work?

italki’s online Japanese classes are simple, flexible, and personalized. Here’s how they work:

  • 📝 Create an account – Sign up on italki and start browsing hundreds of qualified Japanese tutors with detailed profiles showing their teaching style, experience, and student reviews.
  • 🔍 Find a tutor – Choose a tutor that fits your goals and schedule, filtering by price, availability, specialization, or tutor type. Many tutors offer trial lessons to help you find the right match.
  • 💻 Book and attend lessons – Meet your private Japanese tutor via italki’s video platform. Your tutor will assess your level, discuss objectives, and tailor lessons to your needs.
  • 📚 Practice between lessons – Tutors often provide extra resources or conversation practice to help you progress.
  • ⏱️ Learn at your own pace – Lessons are fully flexible and can be scheduled daily, weekly, or as often as you like, allowing you to maintain consistent practice and make steady progress in learning Japanese online.

How often should I meet with an online Japanese tutor?

How often you meet with an online Japanese tutor depends on your goals, schedule, and current level. Beginners often benefit from 2–3 online Japanese lessons per week to build consistency, practice speaking, and reinforce new grammar and vocabulary. Intermediate and advanced learners may have 1–2 online Japanese lessons per week for focused practice, exam preparation, or conversation skills.

Consistency is key. Short, regular lessons are usually more effective than longer, infrequent sessions. Your learning style also matters: some students do well with more intensive lessons, while others prefer a slower, steady pace. A private Japanese tutor can help you design a schedule that fits your lifestyle, and lessons can be adjusted as your goals evolve.

Do italki's Japanese tutors offer free online Japanese lessons?

While italki Japanese tutors don’t offer completely free lessons, many provide trial lessons at a heavily discounted rate. Each student can book up to three trial lessons (one per tutor), giving you the chance to experience different Japanese teaching styles before committing. These trial lessons let you try a Japanese lesson online, assess the tutor’s approach, discuss your goals, and see if their style suits you. It’s a low-risk way to find the right Japanese teacher for your needs.

Do I need a basic understanding of the Japanese language before I can take Japanese classes with italki?

No. You don’t need any previous knowledge to start learning Japanese on italki. The platform has many Japanese tutors for beginners who specialize in teaching students with no prior knowledge of Japanese. These tutors understand the challenges of starting from scratch and know how to make the language approachable from day one.

Finding a Japanese tutor for beginners is simple. When browsing tutor profiles, filter by specialization (such as “beginners”), watch introduction videos, and read reviews from other students.

Starting as a complete beginner can even be an advantage, since your Japanese instructor will guide you toward good pronunciation and grammar habits from the very beginning.

What is the difference between an italki Community tutor vs. Professional tutor?

The main difference between an italki community tutor and a professional tutor lies in their qualifications, teaching style, and focus.Professional tutors are certified teachers with formal training. They offer structured lessons with prepared materials, covering grammar, vocabulary, and exam prep. They provide study resources and detailed feedback during online Japanese lessons, making them ideal for beginners or students seeking systematic learning.

Community tutors, on the other hand, are native or fluent speakers without formal teaching credentials. They focus on conversational practice, helping learners build fluency and confidence in a flexible, informal, and often more budget-friendly way.Many learners use both: professional Japanese tutors for foundational skills and community Japanese tutors for speaking practice.

What are the benefits of private online Japanese lessons?

Private online Japanese lessons with a dedicated Japanese language instructor make learning faster, easier, and more enjoyable than group classes or self-study. Your lessons are customized to your level, goals, and interests, be it mastering kanji, improving pronunciation, preparing for the JLPT, or speaking confidently in daily conversation.

This personalized Japanese tuition speeds up learning because your tutor adapts the pace and teaching style to suit how you learn best. You can ask questions freely, revisit difficult concepts, and spend extra time on areas that need the most attention without holding back other students.

Plus, private online Japanese lessons are convenient and adaptable. You can access qualified Japanese tutors from anywhere, often at rates lower than a local in-person instructor. This kind of Japanese tutoring helps you make real progress and use the language confidently.
