Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

Patient & structured Japanese lessons for beginners | Speak with Japanese & connect with Japan 🌸 Hi, I’m Chihiro—a native Japanese speaker from Nagasaki, living in Australia since 2016. Before starting my teaching journey, I worked as a nurse for many years. Supporting people, listening with empathy, and making others feel comfortable have always been at the heart of what I do. I bring that same patient, caring approach into every single Japanese lesson. Who I Teach I specialize exclusively in teaching adult learners (beginners to lower-intermediate). My lessons are specifically designed for adults who: -Want to speak naturally with their Japanese family members, spouse, or in-laws. -love Japanese culture, history, or language and wish to learn thoroughly. -Appreciate a calm, respectful, and steady learning environment. -Value continuous, long-term progress over quick shortcuts. My Teaching Style & Lessons -Learning a new language as an adult takes time and courage. I aim to provide a safe, encouraging space where you can ask questions freely and learn without pressure. -Structured & Visual: I use clear visual slides and structured materials -Clear English Support: Whenever you feel stuck, I provide clear English explanations so you understand the "why" behind the grammar. A Little About Me Outside teaching, I love learning new languages and subjects, practicing yoga, spending time with animals, and traveling. I truly believe that consistent, quiet effort leads to wonderful results—“Practice makes perfect” is my daily motto! I look forward to meeting you in class!

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.

I live in Tokyo and love cats & fish.I offer unique classes focused heavily on speaking practice.

I am also studying languages like English myself and currently working to improve my listening skills. I know many of you have anxieties about speaking, listening, writing, or reading. But please don’t worry!At university, I studied Art, Psychology, Coaching, and Japanese Education. Based on this, I also support students for Univ/Grad/Job interviews & essays. I speak slowly and clearly. Let's improve together! 【日本】こんにちは、ヒロです！東京在住で猫と魚が大好きです。話す練習を最も重視したユニークなレッスンをしています。文法を勉強しても話さなければもったいないです。言葉はコミュニケーション、そして自分や他人を理解するための道具ですから！実は私も今、英語などの言語を勉強していますが、リスニング力に課題を感じています。おそらく皆さんも、話す・聴く・書く・読むのどれかに不安を抱いているのではないでしょうか。ですが心配いりません！大学では美術、心理学、コーチングそして日本語教育を学びました。この背景を活かし、大学・大学院・企業の面接対策や論文指導も行っています。ゆっくり、はっきりと話します。一緒に上達しましょう！ 【中】大家好，我是Hiro！我住在东京，很喜欢猫和鱼。我的课程非常注重口语练习。即使学了语法，不练习说话也是浪费——因为语言是沟通的工具，也是了解自己和内心的工具！其实我自己也在学习英语等语言，目前正在努力提高听力。我相信大家在听说读写某一方面也一定有过焦虑。但请不用担心！我在大学里学习了美术、心理学、教練技術以及日语教育。基于这一背景，我也提供大学、研究生院、企业面试及论文的指导。我说话又慢又清晰。让我们一起提高吧！

Let's learn Japanese together! I myself have used Italki as a student. 私自身、生徒としてItalkiを使ってきました。 I have an Italki teacher who I look up to, and she helped me a lot with my English. 私の大好きなItalkiの先生がいて、彼女のおかげで英語を大きく上達させることができました。 I'll do my best to help you guys learn Japanese the way she did for me. 彼女が私の英語を手伝ってくれたように、みなさんの日本語学習を全力でお手伝いしていと思っています。

I’ll help turn your worries about learning a language into fun and confidence. Hi, I'm Taka. Take it easy—that's my philosophy. I love talking to people from all over the world. Every student teaches me something new. You're welcome here. Let's grow together. Right now, I'm based in Tohoku, learning about agriculture and enjoying ramen every week. But life wasn't always like this. I spent more than a decade in Tokyo working in fashion, probably selling your country's brands. That experience gave me deep people skills and the ability to understand what customers needed—skills I use in my teaching. In lessons, I will never rush you. I wait for you to speak and create space for you to say a lot. You talk more, make mistakes, correct yourself, and improve. That's how we solve the common problem—"I can understand, but I can't speak." **What I Teach** If you want academic Japanese study, my lessons may not fit. I recommend a teacher who specializes in that. My lessons are conversation-focused. I don't focus on "correct" or "wrong," but on whether expressions are natural for native speakers. Through free conversation, you'll learn living Japanese: natural rhythm, real expressions, and authentic communication skills. As my students say, the lessons are fun and full of laughter. In this atmosphere, you'll develop the ability to speak naturally and confidently with Japanese people—as an equal. That's the goal. Speaking well with anyone, anywhere.
