Japan-Teacher-TAKA
For Business Professionals - A specialist in teaching practical Japanese for business success. I previously taught over 1,500 students in Tokyo and helped many of them realize their potential through my original learning methods. This success led me to establish 18 schools, which I operated for 14 years. Alongside my work in education, I have shared my views on topics such as education, child development, business, and entrepreneurship through university lectures, media appearances, and publications. I’ve been deeply inspired by the passion of every learner I’ve met here—each one genuinely strives to become proficient in Japanese. I want to support that dedication by helping you transform how you study and approach language learning.

RYOTA
Absolute beginners are WELCOME ! Certified Japanese teacher with Over 2,000 online Lesson I'm certified Japanese teacher and I have been teaching Japanese since 2009 on italki. I always enjoy teaching and seeing my students improve their Japanese. I am a teacher but I have been studying English and Spanish so I fully understand the difficulty to learn other languages. As I have lived in Tokyo for about 10 years I speak standard Japanese other than Kansai dialect ( 関西弁). I also speak English and Spanish other than Japanese. So don't worry if you have trouble understanding Japanese I can also explain in English as well.

こんにちは!Easygoing Japanese instructor🌸 Certified language instructor with over 8years of experiences In total, I have been in teaching industries for about 12 years, and I've been teaching Japanese for about 8 years. My former students often described my classes as "tea room", and I like the fact that my class has had a relaxing and pleasant atmosphere. However, I am sometimes strict on my students because I believe that encouraging students is my way of expressing respectfulness.

With 5000+ hours of experience in teaching, I've helped great learners find their passion and voice My strong point is.. my memory! You wouldn't believe it but I remember what I taught you more than you do, although honestly, you are not only my student. This makes it easy for me to plan what we should do in every lesson and you don’t need to worry if you didn’t have time to review because we will review a lot! Pronunciation is my favorite topic. Although I don’t start teaching pronunciation right away because its priority isn’t so high. However, there are not a lot of Japanese teachers who can teach this topic since it is too complicated, and I’ve been helping hundreds of students to improve their pronunciation.

Ippei (いっぺい、一平)
Friendly &Flexible. にほんごをまなぼう、にほんごでまなぼう。 During my time in America, as a Teaching Assistant, I was teaching ‘history of cinema’ and practical ‘basic filmmaking ‘ to American college students. Also, I joined activities to teach Japanese culture and language to people. Since my returning to Japan, I have had many opportunities to interact with many local people from all over the world when I visit abroad for my job of movie making. Throughout these experiences, I have been feeling keenly about “the joy and difficulty of verbal communication. With this kind of experience, I can support and lead each student to learn Japanese language.

Maco
I'm here for beginners :) I use textbook GENKI and irodori. I was a school teacher for several years so I've learned to teach live people and not just through the computer. I teach not only adults but children too! I have taught 7 year old kids who did not speak Japanese at all when we began. We started from Hiragana and worked up to words and sentences. I love teaching all levels, so of course beginners are welcome! I have textbooks allowing us to crossed between book based lessons and speaking lessons. But if you want to be fluent in Japanese, you should learn with textbook, and learn Japanese language! I'll teach you how to speak in a real conversational manner and not the formal helpful but not natural conversation method used by textbooks.

Crystal
14-year teacher skilled at correcting pronunciation by listening and observing how you articulate. 1) I specialize in detailed pronunciation analysis and use targeted drills to correct pronunciation efficiently. With a sharp ear attuned to phonetic nuances, this approach helps intermediate‑to‑advanced learners systematically improve their Chinese pronunciation and speaking rhythm. 2)I adapt the material to each student’s individual needs, so you can immediately apply what you’ve learned after every lesson. Grammar is presented in concise, clear language, and I employ a variety of engaging activities that encourage you to speak more confidently and fluently. 3)I’m very interested in teaching Chinese characters and am dedicated to making character instruction engaging and enjoyable.

Speak Japanese confidently through real conversation. Born and raised in Japan, I have gathered diverse experiences in international settings that have shaped my open-minded and flexible approach to communication. This background allows me to appreciate both the uniqueness of Japanese culture and the richness found beyond traditional boundaries. As a tutor, I focus on meaningful communication rather than perfection. I aim to help you use Japanese in real-life situations, encouraging natural expression and confidence through genuine conversations. My lessons are designed for learners who want to deepen their connection with the language and explore ideas in a relaxed and supportive environment.
