Learn Japanese Through Your Story|Conversation-Focused|Australia & 5-Star Hospitality Speak First. Fluency Follows. You don't become fluent before you speak. You become fluent because you speak. My goal isn't simply to teach you Japanese. My goal is to help you express yourself and be yourself in Japanese. This is the philosophy behind my lessons. Hi! I'm Ryo and I've taught over 800 online Japanese lessons to students from around the world. My lessons focus on real conversation, not just textbooks. Instead of memorizing dialogues, we'll talk about our life, your work, hobbies, travel, dreams, and daily experiences so you learn Japanese you can actually use. Don't worry about making mistakes. Most Japanese people care more about what you want to say than perfect grammar. My goal is to create a relaxed environment where you can speak with confidence. Personalized Review After Every Lesson Learning doesn't stop when the lesson ends. After each lesson, I create personalized review materials based on what we actually talked about, including lesson notes, vocabulary, grammar, and practice exercises, so you can keep improving between lessons. I've also worked in Tokyo's IT industry and in multicultural workplaces in Australia, so I can support you in English whenever needed. If you want to: ✅ Speak Japanese naturally and confidently ✅ Enjoy traveling or living in Japan more ✅ Learn with lessons designed just for you I'd love to help you on your Japanese journey. Let's enjoy learning Japanese together!
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!

Multilingual | 10+ Years,12,000+ Hours Teaching Experience | Tailored Lessons for Professionals |懂中文 In every session, I strive to follow the approach of "teaching a man to fish for a lifetime instead of giving him a fish for a day," fostering independent learning and long-term skill development. This approach is inspired by my experiences of learning foreign languages while living in cities like Beijing, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Istanbul, and Vientiane, which helped me understand the challenges of language acquisition. I am committed to helping you enrich your career and personal life through learning Japanese. Most of my students have regular weekly slots, so my availability is limited. However, feel free to contact me to discuss your preferred time, and I will do my best to accommodate you.

✈️ Travel Japanese | 🌱 Beginners | 🎈 Kids Welcome | 💼 Business Japanese Practical, friendly Japanese for real-life communication— online and in real workplaces in Japan. I've lived abroad for almost 20 years, in Australia, India, and Myanmar, so I know what it feels like to be lost in a language you don't understand yet. That's where my passion for teaching began — teaching Japanese online to children in Myanmar during the pandemic, and seeing how language can be a lifeline, not just a skill. 📌 What makes my lessons different: I don't just teach "textbook Japanese." I teach the Japanese you'll actually use — at a restaurant, on a train, at the shop, or on your first day at a Japanese workplace. I call this "Real-Life Japanese." I've taught students everything from travel basics to everyday conversation — always practical, real-world Japanese you can use right away. 🗣️ I can explain grammar and nuance in English or Spanish, so even complete beginners never feel lost. I'll match your pace and comfort level. Whether you want to: ✈️ Travel around Japan with confidence 🚀 Start Japanese from zero 💼 Prepare for work or business in Japan — keigo, business etiquette, and workplace communication (proven experience teaching N3-level professionals) 💬 Have real, natural conversations ...I'll build lessons that get you there. My goal isn't just to teach Japanese — it's to help you feel confident, connect with people, and open new doors through language. Looking forward to meeting you in a trial lesson!

🌸From “I Understand” to “I Can Speak” | Beginner Grammar to Conversation🌸 Do you understand grammar but find it hard to use when speaking? Or are you a complete beginner and not sure where to start? 🌱 BEGINNER & INTERMEDIATE GRAMMAR My lessons focus on active output. After learning a grammar point, you’ll make lots of your own sentences and say them out loud. We’ll also use the grammar to talk about yourself and your experiences, so you can learn to use it in real conversation. I use my own PowerPoint materials with illustrations, simple tables, examples, and English notes. We can also use Genki, Minna no Nihongo, or Quartet. 🗣️ CONVERSATION LESSONS For all levels. We can enjoy free conversation, discuss topics that interest you, or read a news article before class, explain it in your own words, and share your opinions. I use a shared Google Doc to note useful vocabulary, natural expressions, and corrections, so you can review them later. 🎓 TEACHING EXPERIENCE I also teach private one-on-one students outside italki and have taught Japanese conversation to students at an Australian high school as part of a school program. 💼 BUSINESS JAPANESE I have experience working at a major Japanese bank and an insurance company, including training new employees. 🌸 RELAXED & SUPPORTIVE I’m calm and patient, and I create a relaxed atmosphere where you can speak without worrying about mistakes. Many students tell me they feel comfortable in my lessons. ✨ Let’s turn the Japanese you understand into Japanese you can actually use!

10 Years of International Experience Teaching and Communicating in English & Spanish I love traveling and am a former tour escort and backpacker. Through my journeys, I have explored many countries, including India, Myanmar, Nepal, Bhutan, Thailand, Malaysia, Cambodia, Laos, Indonesia, Canada, Guatemala, Belize, Nicaragua, Honduras, Costa Rica, Ecuador, Peru, Bolivia, Spain, France, Italy, and Turkey. I also love manga and anime, so I enjoy talking about Japanese culture as well! I am passionate about language learning and cultural exchange. I lived in Australia to study English, in Taiwan to learn Chinese, and spent three years in Mexico teaching Japanese while learning Spanish. These experiences helped me understand both the challenges and the joy of learning a new language. With my international background and love for communication, I enjoy helping students learn Japanese in a fun, relaxed, and practical way. I can teach students from absolute beginner level, so please feel free to join my classes. I explain grammar and other points in English or Spanish, so it is helpful if you understand these languages. I usually give homework, but if you are busy, it is completely okay not to do it. I believe learning hiragana and katakana is the most important first step. Without reading and writing skills, it is very difficult to improve your Japanese. Step by step, I will help you build a strong foundation and enjoy the learning process!
