我非常喜欢看动画和漫画👀✨ 我最喜欢的动画作品是《进击的巨人》《排球》《鬼灭之刃》《咒术回战》和《王者天下》 みなさん、こんにちは! 私の名前は明日香(あすか)です。 私は東京出身、東京在住の日本人です。 2021年11月より約5年間italkiで日本語を教えています。 2022年3月に日本語教師養成講座を卒業し、プロの日本語教師として日本語を教えています。 大学時代は経済学を学びました。アメリカの大学に一年間留学した経験があります。 大学を卒業してからはアパレル企業に入社し8年以上勤めました。 話せる言葉は日本語と英語です。現在はスペイン語を学んでおり、 まだビギナーレベルですが楽しく勉強をしています。 私の趣味はたくさんありますが、1番は旅行をすることです。 いままで20カ国以上の国を旅した経験があります。 その中で1番興味を持ったのがスペインの建築で、スペイン語を勉強するきっかけになりました。 他にも漫画やアニメ、映画を見るのが好きです。 1番好きなのはハイキューですが、ワンピースや進撃の巨人など有名な作品はほとんど読んでいます。 マンガやアニメが好きでしたらぜひお話ししましょう! 物事を始めるとのめり込むタイプなので、少しオタク気質かもしれません。 生徒さんのおすすめでゲームを始めたり、新しいドラマやアニメを見ることがとても楽しいです! ぜひみなさんの好きなこと!を教えてください!! オンラインで世界中の人と繋がれるこのサービスに興味があります。 みなさんとお話しできるのを楽しみにしています! ※初めてのレッスンの場合、授業開始前にメッセージをお願いいたします。 2021年11月よりチューターとして日本語教師を始めました。 2022年の3月に日本語教師養成講座を卒業し、プロの日本語教師になりました。 日本語を楽しく、少しずつでも続けたいと思える授業をしていきます。 ぜひ興味を持ったらコメントからお待ちしております! 授業はいくつかのスタイルがあります。 ①フリートークのクラス ②漢字のクラス ③ライティングのクラス ④初級者の文法クラス ⑤旅行のクラス 文法レッスンに関してはPPTを共有して授業ができればと考えております。 現状ではまだ決まったスタイルを考えておりませんが、 生徒の方の知りたいことややりたいことを事前に伺い対応ができればと思っております。 またゼロからスタートとする方の関しては、発音や会話から日本語を教えていきたいです。 ⭐︎キャンセルポリシー⭐︎ 授業時間が開始してから10分以上経ってもクラスルームに生徒がいない場合は 欠席となり、その場合のリスケジュール、返金は致しません。 ※24時間前まで時間変更やキャンセルが可能です。 それ以降のキャンセルや授業に欠席した場合料金が発生するのでご注意ください。 I require 24 hours notice to reschedule or cancel a lesson. If less than this time is given or you do not attend the lesson it will still be necessary for you to pay for the lesson, as I will be unable to give your lesson time to another student. Thank you for your understanding.

October calendar is fully open! Let's start your journey together! Arigato for visiting my profile! I specialize in helping students speak natural, everyday Japanese - the kind you won't find in textbooks! Having worked at a bank in Tokyo, I can also teach practical business phrases. As someone who's lived both in Japan (with that perfect Fuji view!) and the UK, I love bridging cultures through language. My own ongoing English journey since 2012 reminds me how exciting (and challenging!) language learning can be. You can be self taught, but you will realize how a language in actual communication can be totally different than in textbooks. (maybe anime too😅) If you'd like to master a language and be comfortable with communicating in another language, you can't escape from the steps of learning and understanding the culture. It helps you a lot for better communication for sure! Although you can easily collect information on the internet, you wouldn't know if that's true or not until you actually experience by talking to local people or visiting the country. And i am here to help you improve your Japanese and answer your questions/curiosity about Japan! I can possibly be your tour guide in Japan! we can just talk about literally ANYTHING just like talking to your friend :) You don't need to be nervous to practice/speak in Japanese at all. Just take your time and make a lot of mistakes with me, that's how you learn a language. Looking forward to talking to you and helping your Japanese learning journey!

たのしく話そう!リラックス😉 Hello everyone. My name is Jun. I come from Fukushima, Japan, and I have worked as a lawyer's secretary in Tokyo for about 10 years. After residing in Nagoya, Aichi Prefecture, I relocated to France. I love travelling abroad and meeting new people. I also like to spend time with my family and friends. What about you?

Having climbed the “mountain of fluency” in two foreign languages, I know exactly how hard and frustrating the journey can be, but I also know how rewarding and satisfying finally making it to the top is. To me, wrapping your head around a completely new way of thinking that often comes with achieving fluency in a language is one of the best feelings I know, and I want to share it with you. As someone with a strong background in science, my specialty is scientific communication and technical writing. I also think my experience in grappling with abstract scientific concepts has taught me to explain grammatical concepts and semantic nuances in a concise and easily understandable way.

English-Japanese translator but also teaching Japanese Hello! I'm Orie from Japan. My main jobs are English-Japanese translation and interpretation but I also teach Japanese online and in person. I love motorcycles, outdoor activities, and Anime. My husband and I do Anime night instead of movie night pretty often. If you have any suggestion what I should watch next, please tell me ! I started learning English when I was 25 years old but I wasn't able to speak English at all in the beginning. I slowly learned and I am now fluent in English. Because I struggled, I know how difficult it is to speak another language and I will never laugh at any mistakes and will walk through the journey with you. I've taught over 500+ hours on a different platform and switched to Italki. Although I have 3 +years of experience teaching Japanese, I am still learning how to teach efficiently. I mainly teach casual conversation or N5-3 classes. Whenever you cannot understand my Japanese, I can switch to English to explain if it's needed. I might not be the most experienced teacher however, I will do my best to explain and motivate you to keep going. Please note that italki does not allow classes to be rescheduled within 24 hours of the scheduled lesson. In accordance with italki’s policy, and to ensure fairness to all of my students and avoid conflicts with other scheduled lessons, I’m unable to accommodate rescheduling requests made less than 24 hours before the lesson. Thank you very much for your understanding and cooperation.

  • Monte Huskey

    Learning Japanese

    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.

  • Jenny L

    Ryo-san is a wonderful sensei! He is calm, friendly, and always well-prepared for our lessons. As a beginner, I was initially a bit shy to speak Japanese, but he was incredibly patient with me. I highly appreciate his detailed feedback, great learning materials, and tailored homework exercises. He perfectly adapts every lesson to my individual needs. I can highly recommend Ryo sensei!

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.

    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.
