Scratch to Advanced, Teach in 🇬🇧, 🇰🇷, 🇯🇵, 25yrs EXP, 53,000 hrs offline and 22,700 hrs online ⭐ Tailored Japanese Lessons in English, Korean, or Basic Spanish/Italian ⭐ Comprehensive Support to Build a Strong Foundation for Mastery. I'm a native Japanese speaker from Nagano in Japan, who is currently living in South Korea. I had moved around a lot in my childhood. This enabled me to acquire not only standard Japanese but also several Japanese dialects. After traveling in Asia and Africa, I realized there are so many languages and cultures in this world. Since then, I have become a language enthusiast. Thus far, I have learned several languages, and this has helped me conduct easy-to-understand and customized classes for students with diverse language backgrounds.

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.

Structure is 99%, but It’s Context That Makes It Real—Miss the Context, Miss the Meaning! I specialize in helping ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS to intermediate learners who feel STUCK or don’t know WHERE TO START. My lessons are LOGICAL and STRUCTURED, breaking Japanese into manageable pieces to build your confidence step by step. I know the struggles—particles, conjugations, て forms—but I’ll show you not just “what” to use, but “WHY” it works. My focus is on real-world applications: mastering casual conversations, expressing opinions, and understanding cultural nuances. Every mistake is a stepping stone. My teaching is clear, encouraging, and always tailored to your unique learning style.

Frequently asked questions

What is the JLPT exam?

The JLPT (Japanese-Language Proficiency Test) is an internationally recognized exam that assesses the proficiency of non-native Japanese speakers. Established in 1984, the JLPT evaluates language skills across five levels, from N5 (beginner) to N1 (advanced). Each level tests a candidate’s ability to understand and use the Japanese language in various contexts, including listening, reading, grammar, and vocabulary.

The exam focuses on practical language skills rather than theoretical knowledge, making it relevant for individuals seeking to live, work, or study in Japan. It is widely accepted by educational institutions, employers, and government agencies as a measure of Japanese proficiency. The JLPT is held twice a year in many countries, and passing a specific level can open doors to academic opportunities, professional advancement, and cultural engagement in Japanese-speaking environments.

How can an italki tutor help me prepare for the JLPT?

An italki tutor can significantly enhance your preparation for the JLPT by providing personalized, one-on-one instruction tailored to your specific needs and goals. Here are several ways an italki tutor can assist you:

1. Customized Lessons: Tutors can design lessons that focus on the areas you need to improve, whether it’s vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, listening skills, or speaking practice. This targeted approach ensures that you get the most out of your study time.

2. Familiarity with the JLPT Format: Experienced italki tutors understand the structure and requirements of the JLPT. They can guide you through the different sections of the exam, familiarizing you with the types of questions you will encounter.

3. Practice Exams and Mock Tests: Tutors can provide practice exams and simulate test conditions to help you gain confidence. This practice allows you to assess your readiness and identify any areas that need further attention.

4. Feedback and Improvement: Your tutor can offer constructive feedback on your performance, helping you understand your strengths and weaknesses. This feedback is crucial for making the necessary adjustments to your study approach.

5. Flexible Scheduling: With italki, you can schedule lessons at times that work for you, allowing for a flexible study plan that fits your lifestyle.

6. Cultural Insights: An italki tutor can also share cultural insights and language nuances that may not be covered in textbooks, enriching your overall understanding of the language and its context.

Overall, an italki tutor provides a supportive learning environment that enhances your preparation for the JLPT, making it easier for you to achieve your desired proficiency level.

Will my tutor provide JLPT practice tests and materials?

Many JLPT tutors on italki provide practice tests and study materials tailored to specific JLPT levels, though it’s best to confirm this with your tutor before starting lessons. Many experienced tutors supply mock exams, vocabulary lists, grammar guides, and kanji practice sheets that align with the JLPT structure and format. They might also share official or practice questions to help you become familiar with exam content and timing.

For higher levels like N2 or N1, some tutors even have access to advanced resources, including reading passages and audio exercises that target the test’s more challenging aspects. If your tutor doesn’t directly provide materials, they may recommend reliable resources or share links to websites and textbooks geared towards self-study.

Can I take JLPT classes even if I’m a beginner?

Yes, you can take JLPT classes as a beginner! Many tutors on italki offer beginner-friendly classes specifically geared toward N5 (the easiest level) or N4, which are suitable for those new to Japanese. These sessions typically cover foundational skills, including basic vocabulary, essential kanji, introductory grammar, and simple listening exercises, all aligned with the JLPT format.

Starting with a JLPT-focused class as a beginner is a great way to build structured skills in Japanese while preparing for future tests. Your tutor can guide you through the basics and help you set a steady pace toward proficiency.

How do I know if I’m ready to take the JLPT?

To determine if you’re ready to take the JLPT, a good first step is assessing your comfort level with each skill required for your target level (listening, reading, vocabulary, grammar, and kanji). Taking a mock test can be especially helpful; it simulates the real test experience and lets you see how well you handle the exam’s format and timing.

A tutor can also help evaluate your readiness by reviewing your mock test scores and identifying any weak areas that need improvement. Generally, if you’re consistently scoring near or above the passing level for your target JLPT level on practice exams and feel comfortable with the required kanji and grammar, you’re likely ready for the actual test.
