Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

conversation practice I have been learning English since I was a student in Japan and I know it's not easy to get better with foreign languages when you don't use them daily.

For your practice, I would like to listen to you more than me speaking and try my best to see you enjoying using Japanese.

If you so wish, I'll correct any mistakes in your grammar and pronunciation。 I completed all the requirements of Japanese Language Teacher Training Course (420 hours.) This course is certified as a professional Japanese language teacher by the agency for cultural affairs in Japan. 文化庁認定の日本語教師養成講座420時間総合課程を修了していて、日本語教師としての資格があります。

日本語、楽しんで身につけよう！ Let's learn Japanese in a fun and effective way! Hello, my name is Yuki! 私の名前はユキです。 日本の東京で生まれて、ずっと東京に住んでいます。標準語を話します。 私は旅行をすることと、おいしいものを食べることが大好きです。 日本の中はもちろん、外国にもよく行きます。 私は、大学卒業後、編集者の仕事をしていました。 その後、日本の中学生に英語（主に基礎文法）を教える仕事を20年間以上しています。 数学や国語（日本語）を教えた経験もあります。 あなたと一緒に日本語を学びながら、日本語だけでなく、日本の文化や今のことなどを話せたらいいな、と思います。 あなたの文化や食べ物についても教えてもらえたら嬉しい！ レッスンでお待ちしています！ Japanese language is uniquely interesting. In a single sentence, you’ll often find three different writing systems working together to make the meaning clearer! I hope that as we learn Japanese together, I can share this charm with you. It would be wonderful not ony to explore the language but also to talk about Japanese culture and current topics.

If not, I will provide a topic and ask you lots of questions. As I listen to your answers, I’ll correct mistakes and suggest more natural ways to say things in Japanese. Let’s talk a lot!

I've been teaching Japanese for 6 years. My first trip abroad changed how I see the world. Later, I studied in the UK for six months without much preparation and ran into walls of language and culture. It wasn't all fun, and that bitter experience is the foundation of my lessons. I have taught Japanese for six years and love supporting people who dream of traveling to or working in Japan. My lessons focus on real conversation: not just correct grammar, but choosing the right words with an understanding of Japanese culture, so you can build good relationships. I previously worked as an English and math tutor and a cram school teacher, and volunteered at an elementary school and an after-school program. My students are aged 9 to 70. Hearing "I passed the exam!" or seeing students keep going despite busy schedules makes me glad to be a teacher. I mainly use Minna no Nihongo, but I adapt to each student, including handmade materials. My motto: a fun, fulfilling place to learn, built on trust. I'd love to be part of your "story across Japan." Join a lesson anytime! それから・・・ I have one request for prospective students: please share as much as you can about the culture of your country. I firmly believe this is essential, both for building mutual trust and for delivering effective lessons.

日本語は読めるけど、話すのが苦手な方、日本の小説を日本語で読んでみたい方、面接やプレゼンの練習をしたい方、敬語やビジネス会話を覚えたい方、文章を書く練習をしたい方、お待ちしています。 私はビジネスをリタイヤした後、何をしようかと考えていたとき、まず思い浮かんだことは、外国語を学んで海外の人たちと交流をするということでした。しかし、逆に、私が日本語を教えることによって、多くの外国の方が日本語を理解し、日本が好きになってくれることのほうが、私のためにも、日本語を学ぶ皆さんのためにも有意義だと考えて、日本語教師になりました。 When I was thinking about what I would do after retiring from business, the first thing that came to mind was to learn a foreign language and interact with people from other countries. However, I thought that it would be more meaningful for me and for people learning Japanese if I could help many foreigners understand the Japanese language and come to love Japan by teaching it to them.

Certified Japanese teacher with overseas teaching experience Hi, my name is Shunpei. I am a Japanese teacher living in Tokyo.I have always been interested in learning language and have experienced the difficulties and joys of language learning. That is why I decided to teach language—to help and share with other learners. When I have time, I listen to pop music and sing karaoke. I also play the piano and the kokyū (a traditional Japanese string instrument). I like going to the movie theater, mainly to see Disney and Marvel movies. Lately, I’ve gotten into flower arranging. こんにちは、しゅんぺいです。東京に住んでいる日本人です。音楽を聴いたりカラオケが趣味です。ピアノや胡弓を弾きます。映画館へ行ったり花も好きです。 I lived in Canada for three years and taught at Japanese language and culture schools for children in Vancouver and Montreal. I really enjoyed teaching there and this motivated me to complete my Japanese language teaching certification and pass the Japanese Language Education Proficiency Test. After getting the certificate, I started teaching Japanese. 以前３年間カナダに住んでいました。バンクーバーとモントリオールの学校で子供たちに日本語を教えました。それがとても楽しかったので日本語を教え始めました。 In my lessons, I use textbooks (e.g., “Genki, Quartet, Tobira” etc.) to teach in Japanese, just like in a Japanese language school in Japan. Whether you want to practice a conversation topic of your choice or want to study business Japanese, I would like to accommodate your requests. If it’s difficult to ask questions in Japanese, you can use English. 私のレッスンは、テキストを使って日本にある日本語学校のように日本語で授業をします。会話の練習をしたい方、ビジネスの日本語を勉強したい方など、リクエストにも答えます。もし、日本語で質問するのがむずかしければ、英語でも対応します。

I’m a Japanese teacher based in Japan, with over seven years of experience teaching Japanese and English.

Beginners can build a solid foundation step by step, while intermediate and advanced learners can develop fluency through natural conversation. I am also happy to answer questions about Japanese language, culture, history, and daily life in Japan.
