Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

Beginner‑friendly Japanese lessons with clear English grammar support to help you speak confidently Hi, I’m Chihiro—a native Japanese speaker from Nagasaki, now based in Australia. With a background as a nurse, I genuinely enjoy supporting people as they learn and grow. I specialize in helping adult beginners start their Japanese journey with confidence. My lessons are friendly, clear, and always tailored to your needs—especially if you appreciate step-by-step explanations in English. Outside teaching, I love learning new languages, practicing yoga, traveling, and spending time with animals. I believe that steady progress leads to real results—“Practice makes perfect” is my motto! If you’re looking for a patient, encouraging teacher who understands the challenges of starting something new, I’d love to help you reach your Japanese goals. Looking forward to meeting you soon! またねー :)

One World.】 我会中文、英语、日语、韩语，也在提升西班牙语。我的专业背景是数字无线通信技术，有海外硕士及博士学习经历，也曾在EY安永担任高级咨询顾问。我会用清晰、有结构的方式帮助学生学习。 Hi everyone! I speak Chinese, English, Japanese, and Korean, and I’m improving español. My background includes digital wireless communication technology, overseas master’s and doctoral-level studies, and Senior Consultant experience at Ernst & Young. I help students learn in a clear, structured way. I understand how challenging it can be to learn a foreign language, and I’d love to share what works. In class, I use simple target-language words to keep you immersed without feeling overwhelmed. If needed, I can explain in the language you feel comfortable with. Based on your level, I adjust my speed, vocabulary, and style. My goal is to bring you into an immersive Chinese environment without going to China, and help you acquire the language naturally, like talking with a close friend. 【熟能生巧】【Practice Makes Perfect】【習うより慣れよ】【배우기보다 익숙해져라】 从学生时代开始，就已经在教来自不同文化背景的学生。曾在中国、日本、美国、哥伦比亚、印度尼西亚和韩国线下教学，也在 italki、Duolingo 多邻国、Tutoring 等线上平台，以及许多本地教育品牌积累经验。 Since my school years, I have taught students from diverse cultural backgrounds, both offline in China, Japan, the US, Colombia, Indonesia, and Korea, and online on platforms such as italki, Duolingo, Tutoring, and local education brands. Language learning requires words, patterns, and real-life expressions. The more you review and use them, the more naturally they become yours. I look forward to meeting you in class!

I have an experience in tutoring Japanese when I was in Vietnam. The best way to learn a new language is to practice speaking and respect each other and treat my student as my children, we all learned our mother language from our parents with love. 【Lesson price notice】 every 250 lessons, price will increase.(1＄) .Thank you for your understanding. I will put more effort for teaching!!

Certified native Japanese teacher with over 15 years teaching experience (Conversation & JLPT Prep). I majored "Japanese language as foreign language" in my University. The course was designed for people who would like to teach Japanese to foreigners. It was great opportunity to meet foreign students who plan to be Japanese teachers in their countries. I could learn that commonsense makes sense only in where I grew up. Sharing ideas and knowledge for developing and enjoying our lives is the most wonderful thing. Of course "learning language" is a gate to know about other people who have different backgrounds. Would you like to share your ideas with me?

Top 1% Japanese Teacher! Learn to Speak Like a Local with a Native Teacher My lessons are focused on helping you actually improve your Japanese, not just practice it. I know a lot of conversation lessons can feel easy, but you don’t always know what you’re doing wrong. In my lessons, I actively correct your sentences and explain how to make them sound more natural. This is something many of my students say they were missing before. I mainly focus on real, natural Japanese, both casual and polite, so you can use what you learn in real conversations, not just in textbooks. At the same time, I keep the lessons structured so you always know what you’re improving. My goal is for you to leave each lesson with something clear that you can use right away.

拥有超过十三年对外汉语教学经验！ An excellent teacher needs not only a solid foundation in the language, enthusiasm, self confidence, lively and interesting lesson plans but they also need to understand the correct methods for learning(teaching) a language. During my TESOL training I learnt the theory of how our brain and body learn languages. I also learnt more than thirty different excellent teaching methods from all over the world. I have since used these methods in my everyday teaching and found them to be really effective. Over the past eight years I’ve taught more than 500 different students with ages ranging from 2 to 70 plus years.

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.
