Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

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

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!!

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.

Ultimately, I want to be a teacher who listens carefully and encourages you.

🇯🇵🇬🇧 Certified JP/EN Teacher 🤗 Absolute Beginners 🔤 Hiragana 📖 Genki ✈️ Travel Japanese Hi! I’m a native Japanese speaker born and raised in Japan. I also spent five years of my childhood in English-speaking countries, which gave me a good understanding of both languages and cultures. I graduated from a university in the UK, earned my TESOL certification in 2018, and passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test in 2020. I’ve taught students from around the world at all levels, from complete beginners to advanced learners. 💡 Why study with me? I specialize in explaining Japanese grammar in clear, natural English. Because I understand both Japanese and English, I can explain difficult concepts in a simple and logical way. Many students tell me they finally understood grammar points that had confused them for a long time. I also have extensive experience teaching complete beginners, including students who cannot yet read hiragana. I provide step by step guidance with patient support to help learners build confidence. My lessons are especially popular with travelers preparing for trips to Japan. I use practical role-play activities for real-life situations such as hotel check-ins, restaurants, shopping, and train travel. Some students study with me for months before their trip, while others book a lesson just before their flight! Whether your goal is travel, conversation, JLPT preparation, or simply enjoying Japanese more deeply, I’ll help you learn in a clear, supportive, and enjoyable way.

4+ Years | 4,000+ Lessons | Most methods teach you to read Japanese. Mine teach you to live it. You've bought bunch of textbooks. You've done the Duolingo streaks. And yet — the moment a real conversation happens, your mind goes blank. I KNOW that feeling. And I KNOW exactly why it happens. こんにちは! I'm Kana, from Kyoto 🍵 — Japan's ancient capital. I studied English all through school in Japan, then went abroad to the US and Canada. And when someone said "How's it going" — I froze. Completely. Not a single word came out. All those years of study. Gone in a second. I still remember the heat in my face. The way I looked at the floor. The voice in my head that said: maybe I'm just not good at this. That moment changed how I teach forever. Most Japanese language programs — even professional ones — use the same method Japan used on me: grammar and rules first, speaking later. In my lessons, you will never read a sentence like "Watashi wa shinbun wo yomimasu." — "I read the newspaper." Nobody says that. Nobody needs that. Because here's what I know after 4 years of teaching: language only sticks when it's connected to something real — a moment you've lived, a conversation you actually need, a feeling you want to express. My lessons start with your real life — the exact situations you are walking toward. The Izakaya. The family dinner. The workplace. We practice the conversations that actually matter to you, until they stop feeling like Japanese and start feeling like you. 📚Book a trial lesson. Tell me the moment you're most nervous about.That's exactly where we start.
