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!
