Certified teacher who not only knows English but also knows how to teach Japanese to English speaker 🎓Bilingual Japanese teacher qualified in Australia I offer native fluency and deep cultural insight, providing authentic and culturally relevant learning materials. I can explain Japanese grammar clearly in English — something teachers without training in English-language instruction, AI tools, and self-study resources often struggle to do. My Western educational background also helps me bridge cultural and linguistic gaps for English-speaking learners. I tailor my lessons to each student's needs, helping them enjoy learning while steadily building their skills. My goal is to help them become confident, independent learners. 📚Over 10 years of teaching experience I have worked with learners from absolute beginners to advanced students (N5–N1), supporting them in achieving their goals for work, JLPT, daily life, etc. My lessons are especially well suited to motivated learners who enjoy taking an active role in their learning. 🎯Two types of lessons. 🔹 Informal Tutoring - Developing verbal communication skills without textbooks or set plans A relaxed space to practise speaking. I correct errors during conversation. This course is only for learners who are already comfortable speaking Japanese. 🔹 Professional Structured Lessons - Developing verbal communication skills while building a strong foundation through lesson plans and learning materials I also assist with homework, proofreading, and exam preparation. 📢Recognising hiragana is essential 🚫No influencers, please!

The new learner is always welcome=) Feel free to approach me if you have any question. My name is Tadahiro Murooka. I was born in Osaka, in 1972. And I live in Tokyo now. My hobby is English, observing people, and weight training. Needless to say, I love eating Japanese food =) Especially, I found myself fond of it more than any other countries food now. And I would like to draw pictures when I have the time but I don’t at the moment… however, I want to engage in such creative work someday. Some of my friends tell me that I am approachable. So you can feel free to give me any kind of question or request. I have student who is struggled with Dyslexia. Nowadays, such problem is very common. So I welcome such student as well=) Learning language is fun and rewarding but also sometimes challeging to continue without let up. Let's enjoy it with me!! I prefer to use GENKI book. It has two sections, Conversation & Grammar section and Reading & Writing section. I would like to cover both section because I believe that Speaking & Listening and Reading & Writing has the mutual relation. And as passing by chapters, we may talk everything in Japanese as much as we can. So learing both are the important thing for the student who wants to reach the intermediate or more level. As for me as a teacher, laying the foundation is the most important. In order to do that, I use the white board, audio file for shadowing or repeating practice with many homework. I'm sure that you can be confident in Japanese through my lessons!
