Me apasiona el idioma español y el mundo hispano. Me interesan las diferencias culturales y conocer otras maneras de pensar y de experimentar el mundo. También me gusta ver monumentos históricos, el arte, la fotografía y ver partidos de tenis. *I am ready for the lesson on time so PLEASE REMEMBER that I will wait up to 15 minutes. If you do not show up after 15 minutes without giving notice in advance , the credit will be NON-REFUNDABLE and you will be charged full price. *Estoy lista a la hora de la clases, y RECUERDEN POR FAVOR que esperaré un máximo de 15 minutos desde su comienzo. Si no se presenta y no me ha dado ningún aviso DE ANTEMANO, los créditos NO serán REEMBOLSABLE. Hay una gran diferencia entre el español y el japonés, lo cual hace que el aprendizaje del japonés pueda resultarte muy difícil a veces. Sin embargo, a mí también me pasa lo mismo con el español, así que puedo entender tus dudas y tus dificultades y haré todo lo que pueda para ayudarte a solucionarlas. ¿Qué te apetece aprender o practicar? La gramática, las expresiones, leer artículos, hablar sobre algún tema, prepararte para exámenes... Sea lo que sea, no dudes en contactar conmigo para pensar un plan de estudio. Lo importante no es el nivel que tengas, sino las ganas de que le pongas. *For beginners, my lessons are mainly for Spanish speakers. *For intermediate/advanced learners, let’s try talking ONLY in Japanese! **At times I may not be able to use my web camera, please understand it. Thank you.

Be more confident in speaking than you are now! I have experience in teaching languages to a wide variety of people. I can therefore advise on how to motivate learners and their individual goals. I like new cultures and games, so I could also teach new words such as Japanese internet slang. I also have experience teaching English at an English school in Japan for beginners. I continue to learn English. Language is a living thing and constantly evolves. I believe learning a language never ends apart from the goals that you set for yourself. And as a learner, I understand how my students feel. As a native Japanese speaker, I would like to help Japanese language learners as much as possible.

Italki since 2021! I had the experience of teaching Japanese in Vietnam and the U.S. After obtaining my qualification as a Japanese teacher at school, I worked briefly as a Japanese teacher in Vietnam. At that time, I taught conversation-focused classes from beginner to business level. I also have experience volunteering to teach Japanese language and culture to local American students during my study abroad in the U.S. I have been teaching Japanese on Italki since 2021. 学校で日本語教師の資格を取得した後、ベトナムで日本語教師として少し働きました。 その時は初級からビジネスレベルの会話中心の授業をしていました。また、アメリカ留学中にボランティアで現地のアメリカ人の生徒さんに日本語や日本文化を教えていた経験があります。Italkiでは2021年から日本語を教えています。

From Textbook Japanese to REAL Japanese 🌸| Let's Talk! Hi! こんにちは! My name is Julia 🌸 I love connecting with people and learning about different cultures. I’m currently learning Portuguese myself, so I know firsthand how intimidating it can feel to speak a new language, especially when you’re worried about making mistakes, sounding “unnatural,” or not knowing what people actually say in real life. I grew up in Yokohama, Japan, about 30 minutes from Tokyo, and attended Japanese public, private, and international schools. I’m bilingual in Japanese and English, and I completed the International Baccalaureate program studying in both languages. My hot take? I’m all for conversational Japanese. A lot of people come to me wanting to talk about the backpacking trip they took around Japan, 朝マック (McDonald’s breakfast in Japan!), anime, Japanese fashion, convenience stores, or little cultural differences they noticed while travelling. And the interesting thing is: there often isn’t one “correct” answer. There are only nuanced ones. That’s what I want to help you understand. Instead of only teaching textbook Japanese, I want to teach you what people actually say in Japan IRL, such as natural expressions, casual language, slang, and the small details that make a conversation feel genuinely Japanese. We can talk about whatever you’re interested in while building your confidence speaking Japanese naturally. I especially love movies and TV shows, reading, tennis, fashion, and learning about different cultures. 一緒に楽しく日本語を話しましょ☺️🇯🇵

With more than ten years of teaching and coaching experience, I’ve guided learners of all ages and levels to speak confidently and naturally. I began by teaching Japanese speaking courses at the college level in the U.S., helping students move beyond textbooks and into authentic conversation. Since 2018, I’ve worked as an English coach at a private language school in Japan, where I developed deep insight into the psychology and practical needs of second language learners—especially Japanese speakers.
