Native Chinese & Shanghainese | JLPT N1 & IELTS 7.5 | Japanese & Mandarin Tutor I have extensive experience in the tutoring industry. This background has enabled me to identify a student’s weak points quickly and effectively. My biggest strength is coaching natural intonation and real-life conversation. 我拥有丰富的辅导经验,能够快速识别你的薄弱环节。我的核心优势是自然的发音和地道的日常口语。 Because I’ve mastered multiple languages myself, I know exactly where the difficulties lie for learners. I can explain complex Chinese grammar by comparing it with languages you already know. I always ensure that we move at a pace that is comfortable yet challenging enough to keep you growing. 由于我熟悉英文和日文的结构,我擅长通过语言对比来解释复杂的中文语法,并根据你的进度实时调整。 私は中国語、英語、日本語の構造を比較しながら、分かりやすく説明することができます。一人ひとりに合わせたフィードバックを提供することを心掛けています。

Beyond textbooks & AI: Master REAL Japanese & NATIVE mindset in relaxed chats with English support! As an English learner myself, I know speaking a new language is hard. That's why I create a relaxed space where you can confidently make mistakes. When needed, I'll support you with clear English. 【What I offer as your guide】 - The "Reality Check" Do natives actually use that textbook or anime phrase? I know that frustration. I'll be your reality check and explain what sounds natural in modern Japan. - The "Real Japan" With my background in Japanese corporate sales and living abroad, I share the truth about Japanese society. We can dive into the true nature of Japanese people, unique cultural mindsets, and real working conditions from both an "inside" and "outside" perspective.

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!!

AKI | N1/N2 Reading
JLPT N1/N2 Reading Strategy|Structured Exam Preparation My teaching style is analytical, structured, and goal-oriented. Students say I explain grammar clearly, but what makes my lessons different is the strategy training for JLPT reading. We don’t just read. We break down the structure of the text. We learn how exam questions are created. We practice solving efficiently. Advanced Japanese is abstract and layered. I teach you how to navigate that complexity. Mistakes are welcome — they are clues to improve your score.

Jack Takahashi Mao
U.S -Based Linguist, Medical Interpreter, TESOL Chinese/Japanese/English Professional Teacher I hold two Masters degrees from the University of Colorado - Japanese Language and Civilization, and Linguistics. The former provided me with extensive training in translation, interpretation, and literary analysis from both historical and modern perspectives. Linguistics offered me the theoretical and practical basis for teaching a foreign language. I am especially interested in applying phonetic and phonological strategies to classroom teaching in order to prepare students for a native-like pronunciation and intuition. I am a native Chinese Mandarin speaker with Japanese heritage. With the educational training mentioned above, I am capable of teaching both languages.

Through my experience as a voice trainer, I've learned how the tongue position and mouth form affects articulation. That would help me to show you the differences between Japanese and other languages. I can also teach you the proper Japanese standard pitch accent and various intonations and how to adapt them to different situations.
