こんにちは!Easygoing Japanese instructor🌸 Certified language instructor with over 8years of experiences In total, I have been in teaching industries for about 12 years, and I've been teaching Japanese for about 8 years. My former students often described my classes as "tea room", and I like the fact that my class has had a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere. However, I am sometimes strict on my students because I believe that encouraging students is my way of expressing respectfulness.

I've worked as a tutor in a cram school for about 6 years and have much experience teaching students I've never worked as a Japanese teacher until today. However, I've done as a tutor in a cram school for about 6 years and have a lot of experience teaching many students Japanese, mathematics, English, science, and more as I said on my introduction video. Therefore, I'm very good at teaching and know so much how to keep students motivated!

Friendly Native Japanese Tutor 6+ Years of Teaching Experience Hello! My name is Rei. I am a native Japanese speaker from Tokyo, Japan. And I currently live in Australia with my Australian partner. I have experience working as a Japanese tutor in Victoria, Australia, where I taught around 10 local students through private lessons. At university, I completed teacher training courses and gained over 6 years of experience teaching students of different ages and levels as a cram school tutor. I also help my Australian partner learn Japanese in our daily life, which has given me valuable experience explaining Japanese in simple, practical, and easy-to-understand ways. I love meeting new people and sharing Japanese language and culture. Through my lessons, I hope more people will think: “Japanese is fun!” “I want to visit Japan!” “I want to learn more about Japanese culture!” As someone who is currently learning English and living abroad, I understand both the challenges and excitement of learning a new language. My goal is to create a relaxed and supportive environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and building confidence. Lessons can be tailored to your goals, whether you are learning Japanese for travel, conversation, work, or personal interest. Beginners are very welcome, and simple English support is available if needed. I look forward to helping you achieve your Japanese learning goals. Let’s enjoy learning Japanese together!

Ultimately, I want to be a teacher who listens carefully and encourages you. I’ll do my best to guide you in your Japanese learning journey, while making sure you always feel comfortable and motivated. 先生としては、柔軟性を大切にしています。みんな違うバックグラウンドがあるはずなので、それぞれに合わせたレッスンをするのが大切だと考えています。ありがたいことに、リラックスした雰囲気で話せるというフィードバックをよく頂くので、皆さんが心地良い環境で学習できるように努めます!

Ex-Editor and Marketing Professional. Proud to see my students grow each lesson. Hi, I'm Yukari — a qualified Japanese teacher who grew up in Tokyo and Yokohama, now based in Paris. Before teaching, I worked as an editor and marketing professional — a career spent on the creative side of language and communication. That, combined with a genuine curiosity about people and the world, brought me to teaching. My interests span science, art, architecture, music, and the outdoors. When I'm not teaching, you'll find me at the gym, in the pool, at a concert, or on holiday, hiking, sea swimming, or skiing. I teach learners aged 16 and up. Lessons are tailored to your goals and interests — though please note I don't cover travel Japanese.

I have never liked boring lessons and I like dynamism, so I would define myself a teacher who likes that students can learn having fun and with joy. At the same time, I adore grammar and I think it is very important to study and internalize it in order to speak well a foreign language. Finally, during my classes I like to speak a little bit about culture of the language we are studying and to do some language structure’s comparisons which are very interesting to understand how languages work (a little bit of linguistics help).
