Relaxed, soft-spoken, detailed. 平易近人,轻松,详细 2023日本語教育能力検定試験合格 As a community teacher, I think I’m best suited for your native Japanese conversation practice partner. With this said, I’m now learning the type of Japanese grammar useful for foreign students so that I can answer your basic grammar questions. I believe in the importance of output and repeated practice. So, in my class, I encourage you to relax and speak much, while to master the stuff you’ve learned by repetition and frequent review. 刚开始当老师,我应该适合当你的日语会话练习伙伴。对于日语语法针对外国学习者的,我在天天学习。已经学过的,我会随机分享给你的 我相信练习和复习很重要。所以在我的课程中,我会一边鼓励你轻松随便多多讲,同时也会鼓励你重复练习,又复习学过的。这样知识会根深蒂固吧 あたらしいせんせいのわたしは、かいわのれんしゅうの あいてに よいとおもいます。がいこくじんむけの ぶんぽうも まいにち べんきょうしています たくさん はなすことが たいせつです。リラックスし わたしとたのしく たくさん はなしましょう。

Your cross-cultural specialist 🕯️ 🌊 on break June 6-14! 📍NB: availability will be limited from June through September 2026📍 The truth is: you don't always need a tutor. Most basic Japanese is self-teachable. (Really!) But I'm here for the extra curious and hardworking learners, and for anyone who really wants to put their active conversation skills to the test. For students who have the strength of will to take responsibility for their own progress, I will gladly be your humble shepherd. Above all, our lessons together will be compassionate to both the cultural and linguistic standpoints of a non-native learner. My lessons are best for adult students ranging from total beginners to intermediate learners. I'll default to Genki I and Genki II for a general trajectory/roadmap — but by no means exclusively, especially at intermediate levels. Please note I do not teach children under 18! 🍥 MORE ABOUT ME 🍥 I'm a Tokyo-born and U.S.-raised Japanese speaker. Once upon a time, I received my B.A. from Cornell University and my Master's from Tokyo University of the Arts, where I also worked as a TA/Research Assistant. I enjoy architecture, design, cooking, long train trips, armchair linguistics, social history, and slow/intentional travel. As for my own language pursuits, I've been learning Serbo-Croatian since 2024 and slowly dipping my toes into Ulster Irish. I also very much hope to one day get to Italian and Mexican/Central American Spanish!

Speak Natural Japanese with Confidence | Beginner-Friendly Lessons Hi, I’m TAKI from Osaka! Relaxed Japanese lessons to help you speak naturally and confidently. Before becoming a Japanese teacher, I worked as a navigation officer on international ships and traveled around the world. I met people from many cultures and learned how to communicate openly and naturally. I also work as a nature guide in Yamanashi, surrounded by beautiful nature near Tokyo and organise English community events focused on language, culture, and connection. In my lessons, I create a friendly and supportive atmosphere where you can relax, make mistakes, and build confidence step by step. We use speaking practice, role-plays, and free conversation to help you use Japanese naturally in real situations. ✅ Beginner-friendly ✅ English support available ✅ Conversation practice ✅ Business Japanese (Keigo) ✅ Kansai dialect & culture topics If you want to speak more naturally, enjoy real conversations, or prepare for travel or life in Japan, I’d be happy to support your Japanese journey! Feel free to send me a message anytime😊

I’ll help turn your worries about learning a language into fun and confidence. Hi, I'm Taka. Take it easy—that's my philosophy. I love talking to people from all over the world. Every student teaches me something new. You're welcome here. Let's grow together. Right now, I'm based in Tohoku, learning about agriculture and enjoying ramen every week. But life wasn't always like this. I spent more than a decade in Tokyo working in fashion, probably selling your country's brands. That experience gave me deep people skills and the ability to understand what customers needed—skills I use in my teaching. In lessons, I will never rush you. I wait for you to speak and create space for you to say a lot. You talk more, make mistakes, correct yourself, and improve. That's how we solve the common problem—"I can understand, but I can't speak." **What I Teach** If you want academic Japanese study, my lessons may not fit. I recommend a teacher who specializes in that. My lessons are conversation-focused. I don't focus on "correct" or "wrong," but on whether expressions are natural for native speakers. Through free conversation, you'll learn living Japanese: natural rhythm, real expressions, and authentic communication skills. As my students say, the lessons are fun and full of laughter. In this atmosphere, you'll develop the ability to speak naturally and confidently with Japanese people—as an equal. That's the goal. Speaking well with anyone, anywhere.

I'm learning English now, so I can speak English a little. My hobbies are writing diaries, collecting washi tapes, drawing pictures and watching movies(Studio Ghibli, Disney, Harry Potter). Recently I'm really into watching YouTube game streaming. I've been to England once. When I visited there, some people spoke Japanese for me and I was so glad that. And then, I'd like to help people learn Japanese. I've experienced various kinds of jobs. I taught English grammar to junior high school students at a cram school for 7 years, and also at junior high school for 3 months. I passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test in 2021. My main lessons are Free Talk. We enjoy talking about the cultures, learning language, hobbies or anything else you like. If you have any questions, you can ask me at any time.

You may be nervous at first, but please don't worry about making mistakes and always challenge with me!

Professional language teacher: Teaching experience in Japan and the U.S. Enjoy the real conversation --No refund within 24 hour cancellation. --- **** I'm taking maternity leave from September. *** Hi, my name is Yuko. I'm from Nagasaki. I like traveling, watching Netflix, listening to music, cooking etc. My family are farmers so I love being in nature. We grow rice, oranges, and some vegetables. I've been studying about kimono(Japanese traditional clothes) too. Beyond language instruction, I am passionate about sharing authentic Japanese culture with learners. My approach combines linguistic education with cultural immersion for a comprehensive learning experience. I've taught Japanese in Portland, Oregon, US, then I came back to Japan and taught English for a junior high school and elementary schools. Now, I'm teaching Japanese for non Japanese speakers and teaching English for Japanese online and offline. I really enjoy my jobs and am happy to see my student's progress. My lessons are very flexible. I can change my teaching style depending on the student's level and needs. If you want something more advanced we can have conversations, read articles, practice vocabulary together. If you consider yourself as a beginner, we can practice hiragana / katakana / kanji, basic vocabulary and conversations, and grammar. I speak Japanese mainly in my lessons but I can help you in English if you need. Don't worry! Let's have fun in learning Japanese. ***I only accept the package request from the student who've done lesson with me at lease one time. ***
