Intermediate & Advanced Japanese: Speak More Naturally and Confidently I have been teaching Japanese professionally since 2020. I completed the Japanese language education course online. I specialise in 1:1 classes and I have significant experience teaching intermediate students. I will work with pre-intermediate students who only speak everyday conversation and develop their range so that they can speak on different topics such as social problems, science and art. My classes will be fun and relaxing and also focus on your progress. I believe in students studying proactively, not me telling students what to do. I am a facilitator rather than an instructor and I guide you in my classes while you work it out for yourself.

Structure is 99%, but It’s Context That Makes It Real—Miss the Context, Miss the Meaning! I specialize in helping ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS to intermediate learners who feel STUCK or don’t know WHERE TO START. My lessons are LOGICAL and STRUCTURED, breaking Japanese into manageable pieces to build your confidence step by step. I know the struggles—particles, conjugations, て forms—but I’ll show you not just “what” to use, but “WHY” it works. My focus is on real-world applications: mastering casual conversations, expressing opinions, and understanding cultural nuances. Every mistake is a stepping stone. My teaching is clear, encouraging, and always tailored to your unique learning style.

Lesson Taylor | Tailor-made Japanese lessons for new learners to advanced (オーダーメイド日本語レッスン) As a teacher, I value flexibility. Every student has different backgrounds, and the most effective way to master a language varies from person to person, so I always adjust my lessons to fit what you need. Thankfully, my students often tell me that I have a calm and relaxed way of teaching, which makes it easier for them to speak without feeling nervous. Ultimately, I want to be a teacher who listens carefully and encourages you. I’ll do my best to guide you in your Japanese learning journey, while making sure you always feel comfortable and motivated. 先生としては、柔軟性を大切にしています。みんな違うバックグラウンドがあるはずなので、それぞれに合わせたレッスンをするのが大切だと考えています。ありがたいことに、リラックスした雰囲気で話せるというフィードバックをよく頂くので、皆さんが心地良い環境で学習できるように努めます!

Friendly Japanese Teacher | Build Grammar Confidence & Speak Naturally I have studied English myself, so I understand how difficult learning a new language can be. That is why I focus on explaining Japanese grammar in a simple and clear way. I love conversation, and I always try to create a class atmosphere where making mistakes is OK. Learning should be fun, not stressful. My goal is to help my students gain confidence and enjoy using Japanese in real life.

Would you like to learn FLUENT JAPANESE from "1 of Top 1% JAPANESE teachers of italki in 2022" ? DO YOU WANT TO BE A FLUENT JAPANESE SPEAKER? Grammar lessons with "NO text books!" Many pictures and examples are used to make you think and make sentences in Japanese! You will get a bunch of opportunities to speak and listen to Japanese, and that makes you become a NATURAL JAPANESE SPEAKER! You will learn Japanese language, Japanese way of thinking and culture in my lessons :) I believe if you only master Japanese language but you don't understand its culture and people, it doesn't mean anything. The most fun part of learning language is to understand different culture and people. For you, the happiest moment would be sharing laughter with Japanese people by using your own Japanese!

I do not teaching you, but do COACHING you as a native speaker and a language learner as well. A lot of people just study in solitude. But there's a huge gap between studying alone and actually speaking to a native speaker or somebody else. I consider myself is a friendly and patient coach (not a teacher^^), always trying to encourage learners to speak and practice more. Language is a skill, every skill is acquired through practice instead of other's TOO MUCH explanation. And now, I'm here ready to support & assist your study!
