Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

As a language learner, I totally understand how the student feel when learning a language. The reason why I became a teacher is because I wanted to help those people who struggle learning Japanese. I believe that the way to study language is not only one way. Each of us have to find our best way. I'm hoping to assist the student to be able to find the most effective and fun way of learning Japanese.

Certified teacher and linguist with many years of teaching experience As a trained linguist with many years of experience, I’ve had the joy of teaching students from all walks of life. From Russian and German at a Japanese university to shaping a Russian coursebook and teaching across Germany, Russia, and Japan, my journey has been all about helping people unlock new languages. I’m known for my patience and love for making even the trickiest language rules—like grammar—easy to understand. Whether you’re stuck on a word or curious about culture, I’m here to guide you. But what I enjoy most is watching my students’ progress (I know it sounds a bit cheezy :)) —but it’s the best part of teaching, knowing that every step forward brings a new sense of achievement.

Multilingual | 10+ Years,12,000+ Hours Teaching Experience | Tailored Lessons for Professionals |懂中文 In every session, I strive to follow the approach of "teaching a man to fish for a lifetime instead of giving him a fish for a day," fostering independent learning and long-term skill development. This approach is inspired by my experiences of learning foreign languages while living in cities like Beijing, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Istanbul, and Vientiane, which helped me understand the challenges of language acquisition. I am committed to helping you enrich your career and personal life through learning Japanese. Most of my students have regular weekly slots, so my availability is limited.

👩‍🏫 Certified Japanese Teacher｜Japanese for Real Connection ☕ You’re having coffee with a Japanese friend. You’ve finished your drinks, and it’s probably time to go. What would you say? If you’re wondering what a Japanese person would actually say, you may be ready to go beyond textbook Japanese. Hello, I’m Nana, a nationally certified Japanese teacher based in Japan. I currently teach international students at a Japanese language school, a vocational school, and a university in Japan. 🌿 Beyond “correct Japanese” My lessons are for learners who already speak some Japanese and want to improve how they communicate with Japanese people. In real communication, Japanese people often: ・soften expressions ・leave things unsaid ・change wording depending on the person or situation ・use expressions you may not find in textbooks These small differences can change how your Japanese comes across to the other person. My lessons are based on polite, respectful Japanese. From there, I help you adjust your expressions to fit the person, situation, and relationship. ✨ My approach Through conversation, I help you: ・refine expressions you already know ・notice how Japanese people actually communicate ・choose wording that fits the situation ・express your thoughts and feelings more effectively I help you update the Japanese you already know for real communication. ✈ My background I’m a former Japan Airlines cabin attendant with professional experience in polite, situation-appropriate communication. 日本語を「正しく話す」だけではなく、 相手と気持ちを共有し、関係を築ける日本語へ🕊️
