Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

Native Japanese speaker from Tokyo, Japan. I focus on natural, practical Japanese that you can actually use in everyday life. My lessons are suitable for beginners and intermediate learners. Complete beginners are very welcome! ＜Please note that all lessons are for learners aged 14 and up. ＞ If there’s a particular topic, movie, or video you’d like to discuss in our lesson, please let me know! I’d love to do some research and prepare so that we can have an interesting and meaningful conversation. For example, you might want to talk about your upcoming trip to Sado Island in Japan next month, or discuss what makes Maul such an interesting character in Star Wars! When I was a child, I lived in Athens, Greece for four years and attended an international school. We can have our lessons in Japanese or English, whichever works best for you. I've been involved in Japanese language teaching for a year and a half in Singapore. I worked at a Japanese university, where I supported international students with their Japanese and everyday life in Japan. I enjoy doing many kinds of crafts including ceramic painting, playing the mandolin, walking in parks, and watching movies. I’d love for our lesson to be a relaxing part of your day, something you can look forward to and genuinely enjoy. I hope to meet you soon and have a fun conversation together!

Please check out Udemy's English course Amber & Nikki's English conversations and test prep! Motivating language students online can be a difficult task since you don't get to meet them in person. In general, I don't believe it's effective to assign numerous grammar lessons. My lesson plan for the beginner to intermediate learners focuses on conversational Japanese, practicing repetition of sentences describing their daily lives in present or past tenses. This would build their vocabulary and grammatical skills in the process. Through my lessons, students have demonstrated to be more fluent and motivated.

オリジナル教材のスピーキング特訓で「話すための日本語」を教えます！中級以上の方には細かい文法解説やテーマに沿った会話練習でより自然な日本語を教えます！ I've been teaching more than 20 years now. As a language teacher, I started teaching Japanese in Brazil in 2014. But I also taught music, English and other materials for kids in Japan, so teaching was always my passion. I started teaching online in 2019, and now I teach every single day. I love to see the students' progress so every level is welcome in my lesson. Recently I started to learn Chinese and French online, too, in order to, of course, improve my language skills but also to understand my students' difficulties. I've been discovering a lot of things by learning languages as a student, and that's helping me to set my mind and to reflect to and to improve my own lesson.

🌸From “I Understand” to “I Can Speak” | Beginner Grammar to Conversation🌸 Do you understand grammar but find it hard to use when speaking? Or are you a complete beginner and not sure where to start? 🌱 BEGINNER & INTERMEDIATE GRAMMAR My lessons focus on active output. After learning a grammar point, you’ll make lots of your own sentences and say them out loud. We’ll also use the grammar to talk about yourself and your experiences, so you can learn to use it in real conversation. I use my own PowerPoint materials with illustrations, simple tables, examples, and English notes. We can also use Genki, Minna no Nihongo, or Quartet. 🗣️ CONVERSATION LESSONS For all levels. We can enjoy free conversation, discuss topics that interest you, or read a news article before class, explain it in your own words, and share your opinions. I use a shared Google Doc to note useful vocabulary, natural expressions, and corrections, so you can review them later. 🎓 TEACHING EXPERIENCE I also teach private one-on-one students outside italki and have taught Japanese conversation to students at an Australian high school as part of a school program. 💼 BUSINESS JAPANESE I have experience working at a major Japanese bank and an insurance company, including training new employees. 🌸 RELAXED & SUPPORTIVE I’m calm and patient, and I create a relaxed atmosphere where you can speak without worrying about mistakes. Many students tell me they feel comfortable in my lessons. ✨ Let’s turn the Japanese you understand into Japanese you can actually use!
