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 living in Australia since 2016. I used to work as a nurse because I’ve always loved helping people. My hobbies are learning different languages and subjects, yoga, playing with animals, travelling. I thrive on making incremental progress toward my goals. My favourite phrase is “Practice makes perfect”—because it’s true! Nice to meet you, and I hope to see you soon in one of my lessons. またねー :) I’ve taught Japanese online for 3yrs, supporting learners of beginner levels. (Using Minna no Nihongo) My lessons use visual slides to explain practical Japanese in a clear and structured way. When needed, I also provide English explanations and examples to make everything easy to follow. Students often describe me as patient, encouraging, and easy to talk to. I personalize each lesson to match your pace and goals, so you can learn comfortably and confidently. Trial Lesson In our trial lesson, I will gently assess your Japanese level and understand what you want to achieve. I will also show you clear slides so you know exactly where we will begin. If you are complete beginner, you are start learning self-introduction. About My Lessons • We learn new vocabulary and how to use it naturally • If there are verbs, we review the verb conjugations together • We quickly review what you learned in the previous lesson • We learn new grammar step by step • We practice speaking using the new grammar and vocabulary

オリジナル教材のスピーキング特訓で「話すための日本語」を教えます!中級以上の方には細かい文法解説やテーマに沿った会話練習でより自然な日本語を教えます! I've been teaching more than 20 years now. As a language teacher, I started teaching Japanese in Brazil in 2014. But I also taught music, English and other materials for kids in Japan, so teaching was always my passion. I started teaching online in 2019, and now I teach every single day. I love to see the students' progress so every level is welcome in my lesson. Recently I started to learn Chinese and French online, too, in order to, of course, improve my language skills but also to understand my students' difficulties. I've been discovering a lot of things by learning languages as a student, and that's helping me to set my mind and to reflect to and to improve my own lesson.

My mother-tongue is Korean. But I've learned English, Japanese and Chinese. So I truly understand how difficult learning languages is. I'm very positive, patient and enthusiastic. And I prepare each lesson only for A student. For example, if a student has a tendency to make mistakes using the present perfect, I usually prepare more focused lessons that he or she can repeatedly practice using the present perfect. I believe you could learn more through the mistakes that you make. And I will be there for you to correct or coach whenever you need it. You are going to be very very proud of yourself in the end. Let's have fun learning!!

Extensive experience teaching Japanese in English. Beginner to N3 (ゼロ初級~中級). Pair lesson available! こんにちは!ゆきです。 I was born and raised in Osaka, and now I’m based in Melbourne🦘🐨 Do you have these problems when it comes to studying Japanese? ---------------- "I want to practice speaking Japanese but I don’t feel confident expressing what I want to say correctly." "I'm a complete beginner and don’t know where to start." "I’m interested in taking JLPT but don’t want to study just using a textbook and would like to learn in a fun way while talking with a teacher." ---------------- Then please book a trial lesson with me. I will be your teacher—and your guide on your language learning journey :) One of my strengths as a Japanese teacher is that I can teach in English. Most of my students are from places like the United States, Europe, and Australia, and I use English whenever it helps students understand better. Also my husband is British, so we mainly communicate in English. I would like my students to feel relaxed in my lessons so that they can speak Japanese even more spontaneously. So I always make sure my lessons are fun and not too intense. However, if you’re highly motivated and would like a lot of homework, don’t worry—I can give you plenty 😆 I used to be very shy but I love teaching and enjoy communicating with my students through lessons. Teaching is my passion! I like💛 #travel #gaming #osaka #animals #vtuber #hololive #holostars

Let's learn a relaxed and enjoyable way, Studied linguistics in the UK and Slovenia Hello. My name is Mai. I have been interested in languages since I was a child and have been studying foreign languages for many years. As language learning isn’t always plain sailing, I believe I can empathise with how learners feel. In Japan, I taught introductory, beginner and intermediate Japanese courses as part of a training programme. As these were short courses, I worked intensively with the students. In Malaysia, I worked as an assistant to a local teacher at a secondary school. I provided one-to-one tuition to transfer students who had no prior experience of learning Japanese. Currently, I teach mainly online. In my lessons, I cater to learners seeking both short-term and long-term study programmes. Making the most of the benefits of one-to-one tuition, I focus primarily on conversation whilst also covering grammar, reading and writing. I also offer lessons tailored to specific purposes, such as JLPT, Japanese for customer service, academic Japanese and job interviews in Japanese. I will tailor the learning approach to suit your individual needs. Please feel free to get in touch.

I can understand well what you students can't understand as I've studied many languages. My hobbies and interests. Aerobatics, playing the guitar (flamenco, bossa nova, classical, singing while playing), off-road biking, horseback riding. I love aerobatics, so I went to the US to train as a pilot and got my license. I've traveled to the US several times specifically for aerobatics. I have also competed in an aerobatics competition held in Arizona. I enjoy horseback riding and have been to Mongolia. I studied Mongolian hoping to communicate with the nomadic people. My Japanese language skills. Teaching experience, etc. I attended a Japanese language teaching school to study teaching methods and conducted trial lessons. In 2019, I also passed the "Japanese Language Teaching Proficiency Test". I'm a "Language Geek" and have studied Spanish, Mongolian, German, and more besides English. From my experience studying these foreign languages, I know the tricks of the trade: what's needed to learn a foreign language, what causes confusion, and how to achieve understanding. I also understand the differences in thinking patterns between languages. This knowledge will surely be useful to you when learning Japanese. Generally, I conduct lessons in Japanese. I don't use textbooks. Since you can understand textbooks by reading them yourself, spending time aimlessly reading textbooks with a teacher during an online lesson is a waste of time. Of course, if you encounter anything you don't understand while reading a textbook, feel free to ask questions anytime.
