YAMADA
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.

I was a game company worker! I'm a top 1% italki teacher who teaches real (&otaku/Vtuber) Japanese! I teach real, natural and practical Japanese in very effective ways. I don't use unnatural Japanese such as 私の名前は (watashino namae wa) ! So you will be able to speak like native speakers! If you need to use English in our lesson, we can do so. No worries! However, let's use Japanese as much as possible for your learning, of course. Feel free to ask me other requests and questions!

Akiko
Most of my students are repeat learners! (grammar text book : Minna no nihongo etc) I am very calm and very patient. I truly believe that we learn best and improve the most when we feel confident, relaxed and happy. My current students say that I am a very affable person. I promise that students will feel relaxed and conversant with me. My goal is for students to leave each class feeling like they learned as much as they possibly could and motivated to learn more! I have experience working for a major Japanese bank and insurance company, and have trained new employees. I can also teach business manners and traditional Japanese business thinking. I will make sure that you are confident in your Japanese ability at all times.

MAMORU MS
My first priority is students' interests and purposes of taking lessons. I'm here to help you attain your goals no matter what they are. I usually take students from intermediate to advanced level speakers since I'm a community tutor who don't have a structured series of courses with textbooks. For completely beginners and those who are younger than 18, I recommend to consider taking lessons with other professional tutors. My classes will also be good for those who are planning to visit Japan since I can provide lots of useful information of sightseeing spots, cultural perspectives and useful greetings/phrases/words as a traveler. 日本の文化や日本に来たときに役に立つあいさつやフレーズを教えることもできます。
