Japanese classes in Madrid: Try a class for free

Hello! My name is Nami. I am a Japanese native speaker. 

• I started to teach Japanese 17 years ago.
• I worked as a Japanese teacher at a language school.
• I've taught Japanese in group and private lessons.
• I’ve taught more than 6000 lessons online.

Trial lesson

• I will use presentation slides to explain how we learn Japanese.
• Self-introduction in Japanese. (If you are an absolute beginner, don't worry! I will show you step-by-step.)
• I will suggest a customized lesson plan for you. Let's make your desired lesson plan together!

Beginners

• If you haven't learned them yet, we will start with Japanese characters Hiragana and Katakana. Knowing Japanese characters will help you pronounce each word correctly and understand the grammar easily.
• We will use textbooks and workbooks, which are well structured and based on conversational Japanese. I will provide you PDF files of the textbook and other documents. My lessons cover all Reading, Writing, Listening, and Speaking. The textbook has a lot of exercises so you can practice grammar in different situations. We will also have a conversation using the grammar we learned in the previous lessons.
• If you already know some Japanese, let me know your Japanese level and learning experience, then we can decide where to start.

Conversation

• Let’s practice Japanese in your desired speech style.

I am looking forward to seeing you!

Hello everyone. I’m Yoko. Nice to meet you.

I was born, raised and educated in Tokyo. I moved to Brazil in 2001 and now live in the UK.  

I speak Japanese, Portuguese and English.

I know how hard it is to learn foreign languages, but it’s also fantastic to be able to communicate with people in the world.

I tailor my classes for all levels (your interests, needs, and also goals).  

- Start from zero?  That's great, we can have a lot of fun together to do speaking, grammar and writing hiragana and Katakana. I always encourage my students to learn Hiragana and Katakana at least. I believe being able to read Japanese helps your understanding and importantly, motivates you more.  

- Looking for a conversation partner?  Yes, I can do that. We can talk about anything you want, e.g., celebrity gossip, news about what's happening in the world.  

- Looking for someone who corrects your writing? Yes, please count on me. Please send me your writing at least 1 day before the class. We’ll review it together in class.

I can give you accurate instructions, because I myself have been learning English and Portuguese for a long time, as I understand common mistakes we usually make.   

[Beginner]

Material: ‘GENKI’’MARUGOTO’ or others (PPT, videos, music etc)

Learn:  speaking, listening and writing (Hiragana and Katakana)

[Conversation]

Free conversation, discussion

Learn:  Speak correctly

[Writing correction]

Pls send me your writing at least 1 day before the class. We’ll review it together in class.  

*All the classes are available both in English and Portuguese.  

Looking forward to seeing you soon.

-----------------------------------📌Things I want to tell you📌-----------------------------------

I know how difficult it is to learn foreign languages because I spent tons of time acquiring English and Spanish.

I believe, from my experiences, that learning foreign languages is like a "long journey".

It's impossible to arrive at the destination the next day but we know we can arrive there someday unless we stop moving forward💪

Let's be pleased with our small progress than big progress🙌
 

I look forward to joining your journey!

My role is to be your mentor who support your goal. I believe in you and help you acquiring Japanese. Your course will be designed on your request based on your pace, interests, learning style and learning history.

In my classes, I try to give more time to speaking practice. Because learners cannot do this all alone. You can do writing practice at home. You can take time to look for the words and structure them carefully and try out something new. Watching short videos and listening to music can also be given as an assignment. I will help you with many picture slides. Once you get comfortable creating sentences with the new expressions and vocabulary, I will offer activities which stimulate conversations.

I do not insist on handwriting. I leave it to the learners. Handwriting helps some learners to memorize. Other learners are visual and rather work with flash cards. Nowadays, there is little necessity for handwriting. Most written communication is typed.

Beginners will have to decide on their textbook. I usually prefer the one which the learner has already been using. If the learner wants to have a new book or they have none, I can recommend one. The learner uses the textbook for doing homework, reviewing, or pre-study. I will use slides in the lessons for oral practice. For those who want conversation lessons, the materials can vary depending on the learner’s wishes.

Teaching is my joy. I appreciate each meeting that brings me the chance to learn through my teaching. Seeing the progress of my students makes me happy.

How do you do!   My name is Madoka.  I am from Tokyo.  I was born and grew up there, but I have been living in the United States for quite a long time by now.  

During those years, I studied, worked, got married and raised two children.  Meantime, I taught beginning Japanese classes at the college level for two years, taught toddlers and pre-school children at my immersion-style Japanese family child care for more than 10 years; then, have been teaching elementary through high-school students at a Japanese school for 4 years (including 2 years of on-line class).  Certainly, I raised my own children in Japanese.   And recently I took the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test to get officially certified as a Japanese teacher. 

For me, languages are for communication.  I love to learn different languages myself and love to teach my native language, Japanese, to other people to communicate with different people. I know Spanish enough to communicate.  I am learning Korean along with Tae Kwon Do practice.  I know both hardship and joy of learning languages.  

Students from all ages and all levels are welcome.  I communicate with students to find their level, interests and goal to accommodate the best lesson style for each of them.   I usually use visual materials, quizzes and games.  I may use textbook when needed but often customize materials on my own according to my student's need.  My lesson is always interactive.  I would expect you to join me and be an active part in our lesson! 

Let me hear from you. If you are motivated enough to come here to read this and watch my video, why don't you get in touch with me to tell me about you.    Let's meet in the trial session and talk more.  We'll have fun and I will do my best to achieve your goal.  

Hello!  Nice to meet you!  My name is Reiko.  I am from Osaka, Japan.  Yes, Osaka!  It's a fun and entertaining place to visit!

I graduated from a university in Kyoto and got qualified to teach elementary students in Japan.

I have been living in Canada for about 20 years.  I homeschooled all my kids and have been teaching the Japanese language through online to students from beginner to intermediate.

My students are from 6years old to adults (50s) right now.

I use 'Genki' for teens and older students, and 'Japanese for young people' for younger children, and I use other materials for addition.

Any textbooks are always welcome.  Please let me know if you have preferred materials.

Do you want to learn from Anime?  Do you just want to speak in Japanese?

I am so excited to teach each student.   

Looking forward to meeting you soon!

Hi I'm Aki, an experienced Japanese teacher. 

I've been tutoring students in the United Kingdom for almost a decade. I taught a variety of students: e.g. young children (primary school), teenagers (GCSE /A-level), university students, and adults up to over 60 years old. Most of them are beginners or intermediate-level learners. 

Let me describe my teaching style with 3 key points: 

1) TEACHING MATERIALS: I mainly use my original teaching materials which are full of visual-focused explanations and custom illustrations. I believe every lesson should be customised to some extend, because of the many different types of students (visual learners, auditory learners, and kinesthetic learners) and their unique objectives. I use my own materials in a different way depending on the students, and use other materials such as textbooks (e.g. exam book) and websites (e.g. news, culture) when required. 

2) SPEAKING TIME: I pay attention to the balance of my speaking time and students' speaking time, because it's very important for the students to apply what they have learned to real situations. In this way, I try to make my lesson more interactive than just straight forward tutoring. I make situations where they can talk without hesitation. For example, I choose topics that are interesting and/or familiar to them. 

3) FOLLOW-UP: I give them feedback and/or assignments after lessons so that they can review the lessons properly and ask questions if they have any. Also I give advice when a student gets stuck on learning a particular aspect of Japanese, because I had similar experiences when learning English. 

Thus, I am committed to providing professional but fun Japanese language lessons in my own way! 

*I currently teach private students online in the United Kingdom. I have previously worked as a Japanese teacher assistant in Sand Lake Elementary School in Alaska, USA. I successfully completed the CELTA course and have earned several teaching certificates.

Hello there! I'm Norah.  I am a Certified tutor of The 420-hour Advanced Japanese Teacher  Training Course.

I was born and raised in Saitama and was working in Tokyo for 20 years. I speak "Tokyo-standard accent Japanese" and can teach Keigo (A special polite speech style) for business.

I have been teaching Japanese since 2018. When I was living in Florida, I was volunteering to help students who studied Japanese at a University, and that experience brought me to become an online Japanese tutor. 

[My style]
I want you to relax and enjoy our lesson, I will ask you how you want to study Japanese. Some students want to study grammar accurately, some want to have conversations, some want to read books with me, and some students want to write a diary in Japanese! I can be flexible according to what you want.  If you are not sure how to study Japanese, I will suggest the best way for you. 

• e.g.: beginner's lesson 
  -greetings
  -small talk about weekends, weather, news, Netflix, etc
  -reading diary (if a student wrote, I will check and correct it)
  -vocabulary review 
  -grammar practice
  -make your own sentences, answer my questions
  -listening practice or reading practice

[Accent, Intonation of Japanese]
Pronunciation between English and Japanese is very different!  I will help your accent and pronunciation to sound more natural in Japanese. 

[My favorite materials]
Of course, you can use your favorite textbooks but I prefer to use these. Also, I use many different types of books for fun including comics, and news websites to gain vocabulary.

• Beginners
  Genki 1 and 2 (Third edition)/ Marugoto Series A1, A2 
   
• Intermediate 
  Marugoto Series B1, B2 /Quartet Series 1
   
• Advanced and Business Japanese
  Quartet Series 2/ にほんご敬語トレーニング/ 実戦ビジネス日本語会話

[Message to all Japanese-language learners]
I love teaching, listening to my students, and speaking with people from different countries.  A small question may help your comprehension of the Japanese language. Don't hesitate to ask me.  I would love to support you! Looking forward to seeing you.  Book a trial lesson now! :)
