Ken 鈴木 健
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。

拥有超过十三年对外汉语教学经验! An excellent teacher needs not only a solid foundation in the language, enthusiasm, self confidence, lively and interesting lesson plans but they also need to understand the correct methods for learning(teaching) a language. During my TESOL training I learnt the theory of how our brain and body learn languages. I also learnt more than thirty different excellent teaching methods from all over the world. I have since used these methods in my everyday teaching and found them to be really effective. Over the past eight years I’ve taught more than 500 different students with ages ranging from 2 to 70 plus years. I’ve seen how their language learning has brought them great satisfaction and happine

Mitch
Japanese Teacher (MA TESOL, U.S.) • 10+ years online • upbeat, positive lessons Students often describe me as cheerful, positive, and easy to talk to. I believe learning should feel encouraging and achievable. On italki I teach in English, Spanish, German, Chinese, or entirely in Japanese, adjusting the mix to your pace, level, and goals. If something doesn’t click, I’m patient and flexible: I’ll explain again, try fresh examples, rephrase, or switch methods. I’m good at motivating learners—building on strengths, challenging just enough, and celebrating wins. I’ve also led Japanese classes at a U.S. university. One small request: if life derails a lesson, a quick note afterward keeps me from worrying (no alien abductions, I hope!). Let’s learn together!

竜馬 (Ryoma)
🍣Beginner & Polite Japanese 🏝️Okinawan language 🍙Master Japanese in English 🍜University Professor 1) I've been a Japanese teacher at a college school in the US Air Force base in Japan. 2) My primary focus is to build vocabulary so students can boldly lead discussions, and speak fluently. 3) I've trained exchange students, engineers, college students, children, and so on. 4) I've also worked as a guesthouse staff and office worker in Japan, so I'm used to explaining Japanese culture and manners to tourists and expatriates :) 5) I was ever praised by my friends and students for my teaching methods. As a result, most of my friends were able to pass the JLPT-N1 and N2 test with my support and some of them are working as skilled workers in Japan.

I was a game company worker! I'm a top 1% italki teacher who teaches real (&otaku/Vtuber) Japanese! I teach real, natural and practical Japanese in very effective ways. I don't use unnatural Japanese such as 私の名前は (watashino namae wa) ! So you will be able to speak like native speakers! If you need to use English in our lesson, we can do so. No worries! However, let's use Japanese as much as possible for your learning, of course. Feel free to ask me other requests and questions!

back in Japan! excited to make new friends through lesson! 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!
