Not textbook Japanese - the Japanese you actually use Hi, I'm Yui! 👋 I'm learning English and Chinese myself, so I know both the excitement and the frustration of language learning. I have a 4-year university degree in Japanese language education, 3 years of teaching at a Japanese language school (since 2016), and 6 years of online teaching. Two things happen in every lesson, at every level. Patterns, not lists 📝 One pattern covers many sentences, so you are not memorizing. For beginners, I break verbs into 6 forms and 3 groups, with practice at every step. For intermediate and advanced learners, it is keigo, 〜んです, and the shapes that make you sound natural. Your own phrases 💬 What I hear most often is "I studied it, but I can't use it." So we collect the phrases you need - from your work, your trip, your interview - and I keep them in a spreadsheet that is yours. It grows every lesson. Then we use them in roleplay: a phone call, a hotel, meeting your neighbours, a job interview. Every 5 lessons I send you a one-page review of what you have built. My students right now are preparing for job interviews, studying for the JLPT, working in Japan, and starting from zero. The approach is the same - only the content changes. I'm a big anime fan 🎬 - Frieren, Blue Lock, Haikyu!!, Apothecary Diaries, Demon Slayer, Chiikawa - often watched in English or Chinese too. Lessons often turn into chats about what you are watching 😊 Let's make steady progress, and have fun doing it! ✨

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。
