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.

🏆JLPT & Speaking | 15+ years pro | 99% in Japanese — No English needed! げんきに たのしく! 99% Japanese lessons — no English needed. That's exactly why my students improve fast! I'm professionally trained to teach Japanese in Japanese, using illustrations, gestures, and simple words you already know. The other 1%? If we get stuck, a translation app solves it in seconds — problem gone, lesson continues! Perfect for evening learners in the Americas! 🌎 My English? Still a work in progress. 😅 Your Japanese? Same! That makes us a perfect match — in my lessons, we only need Japanese anyway. Preparing for the JLPT? That's my specialty — my most booked lesson (100+ completed!). From N5 grammar to N1 reading strategy, I'll build a plan that gets you to 合格. Can you say「たべます」「いきます」? That's all you need. If you've learned basic verbs, we can communicate 100% in Japanese — with 15+ years of experience, I know how to meet you at your level. Haven't learned verbs yet? Honestly, it'll be a little challenging at first — but we'll manage! Pictures, gestures, and a translation app. 😊 One honest note: if you're a complete beginner — no hiragana/katakana, and you haven't finished the first 3 lessons of any textbook — start with a teacher who speaks your language. Then, once you've got the basics… come back! I'll take you to the next level. 💪 한국어로도 소통할 수 있어요! (TOPIK 6급 2회 합격) 한국분들, 부담 없이 오세요! 한국, 미국, 캐나다, 태국에 거주하는 한국인 학습자들을 가르쳐 왔습니다. JLPT 대비가 제 전문 분야입니다(italki 100회 이상). 한자어의 공통점을 활용해 한국인에게 맞는 효율적인 수업을 진행합니다. 일본과 시차가 없어 낮 시간에도 편하게 수업을 들으실 수 있어요.
