Taichiro (たいちろう)
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.

YAMADA
日本語は読めるけど、話すのが苦手な方、日本の小説を日本語で読んでみたい方、面接やプレゼンの練習をしたい方、敬語やビジネス会話を覚えたい方、文章を書く練習をしたい方、お待ちしています。 私はビジネスをリタイヤした後、何をしようかと考えていたとき、まず思い浮かんだことは、外国語を学んで海外の人たちと交流をするということでした。しかし、逆に、私が日本語を教えることによって、多くの外国の方が日本語を理解し、日本が好きになってくれることのほうが、私のためにも、日本語を学ぶ皆さんのためにも有意義だと考えて、日本語教師になりました。 When I was thinking about what I would do after retiring from business, the first thing that came to mind was to learn a foreign language and interact with people from other countries. However, I thought that it would be more meaningful for me and for people learning Japanese if I could help many foreigners understand the Japanese language and come to love Japan by teaching it to them.

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.

Miki
I am certified to teach Japanese and currently teach at a language school in Taiwan and for private students. I teach general Japanese, business Japanese as well as exam preparation for JLPT, to students from various backgrounds. Some of my students started to learn with me from Hiragana, the most basic letters in this language, and some others are advanced learners who are required to use Japanese for their jobs. I am so happy for what my students and I are doing together to improve their skills, and having good time in each class.

Eriko Kasai
Certified native Japanese teacher with over 15 years teaching experience (Conversation & JLPT Prep). I majored "Japanese language as foreign language" in my University. The course was designed for people who would like to teach Japanese to foreigners. It was great opportunity to meet foreign students who plan to be Japanese teachers in their countries. I could learn that commonsense makes sense only in where I grew up. Sharing ideas and knowledge for developing and enjoying our lives is the most wonderful thing. Of course "learning language" is a gate to know about other people who have different backgrounds. Would you like to share your ideas with me?
