1-on-1 Japanese lessons on Zoom or Skype with native teachers.

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

• I started to teach Japanese 16 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 2000 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! Thanks for visiting my profile page :)　

Are you interested in Japanese Culture? Would you like to start learning a new language? Let's get started!!

【About myself】

I live in Canada for about 9 years and I teach Japanese as a private tutor for about 8 years. It's been a pleasure to meet people from all over the world, study Japanese together, and share Japanese culture.   

【How do we study?】

I use a method called "Active learning". You need to study and prepare before the lesson in order to involve in the learning process actively. In that way, you can learn the language effectively. I have been learning English for over 15 years, and all I can say is the key to success is repetition and being continuous!

【Would it be possible to speak Japanese fluently?】

Many people ask me how long will it take to speak Japanese fluently. My answer is it depends on you. If you engage with Japanese more time every day, you will acquire it faster. There are many ways to engage with your learning language. It might be like watching your favorite Japanese shows or writing a diary every day in Japanese, and so on.  Find a fun way to learn Japanese with me!

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I accept all levels of students so if you're a beginner, I will teach you from your level of comfort. 

If you have any questions, please feel free to ask me at the trial lesson!

 I have about 800 lessons of experience teaching online with students in various countries as Japanese tutor. I am certified by The World Japanese Language Centre for the 420 hour Advanced Japanese Teacher Training Course.  Because of my experience and good knowledge of Japanese business environment, I know how to communicate with Japanese people in the business scene and how to respond.  I also teach children from very young age. I customize lessons depending on the student and their aim, goals and personality etc.  I was born in Japan and raised in Tokyo. I experienced living in Kyushuu, and Okayama, too, as my father moved there to work. Every time I made friends, I had to say ''Kon-nichiwa'' and ''Sayoonara''. A bit sad but it was great to see new friends. I live in the UK now. As I mentioned, I am teaching Japanese after my work experience of Japanese companies. It has been a great experience working there with great people. This helps a lot to teach my students who are thinking to live in Japan and work for Japanese companies. 

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 communicae 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.  

About me

Hello I'm Saori. Nice to meet you! I am from Tokyo. but I've been living in Canada for about 4 years. After graduating from my university I moved to SK in Canada, and lately moved to BC in Canada. 

Teaching experience

I have 4 years of teaching experience online, and taught at a Japanese Sunday school in Canada. Over 4 years I have taught people who are complete beginner, intermediate, advanced, from the ages of 5 to 80 from many different countries such as Canada, America, China, England, France, Italy and South Korea etc. 

I am very patient, friendly and cheerful. My teaching strategy focuses on making students feel comfortable during my lessons, I want you to feel okay when you make a mistake. Making mistakes is an important step to improve language skills.

About my lessons

Depending on students' individual needs, I can give a strict, structured lesson or a relaxed, conversational lesson. If you are a beginner student, I can always use English to teach. If you want me to only Japanese to teach, I’ll speak only Japanese to you. If you are not sure your level or what part you need to improve, I can find out what you should do to improve your skills. I am very flexible, and respect student’s opinions. If my teaching pace is too fast or too slow, please don’t hesitate to tell me, I can always change the speed as well. I’ll provide homework or a test if it’s needed.

I have lived 5 years in California when I was young, and the past 12 years in the UK, so explaining difficult grammar/sentences using slang and idioms in English is my strong suit. I used to be a medical student for 4 years in the UK, so if you would like any medical Japanese help, I'd be able to accommodate! 

I have been a tutor since 2019, with students from all over the world!

I am a huge fan of anime and manga, so otakus are very welcome 😊

We will first figure out what your learning style is, whether it be visual, aural, kinetic, etc. Then, we will construct an efficient custom learning plan that maximises your strengths, and supplement your weak areas. 

I have access to a variety of textbooks, and will be able to accommodate for a very wide range of proficiency level.

I will incorporate the fundamentals of language, and will focus on accuracy, but in the context of conversational use. You will be able to have confidence in your pronunciation, and the accuracy of the intonation.

I will be setting kanji and vocab homework, as they are crucial in progressing through the language.

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.

Hello,

My name is Yuki. I have a MA in language teaching and I have been engaged in education for about 7 years . I myself learned a few foreign languages and understand it takes patience. 

Each learner has a different goal and a personal preference. First, I would like to know what you have already learned and your goal. You can also tell me what you would like to focus on and what you think is difficult. Then, I can design lessons for you.

For example:-

1, You already are an intermediate-level student in a group language course but want to have more conversational practices.

• Set a situation or a topic (real life settings, social topics, etc)
• You communicate using your existing knowledge
• I present phrases and vocabulary for effective communication
• Practice

2, You are a beginner and want to build up all sorts of skills

• Start with basic greetings and phrases
• Familiarize you with Japanese sound structure and pronunciation, and also its writing system
• Build up grammar
• Listen to Japanese language in real life (because listening to controlled conversations can be done by using CDs and scripts.)

       (I often use "Japanese for Busy People", which is a very useful book in a lot of different aspects.)

These are just examples, and of course, feel free to book a trial lesson to see if I am a right tutor for you.

Yuki

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 university in Kyoto and got qualified to teach elementary students in Japan.

Right now I have been living in Canada for about 20 years.  I do homeschool to my kids and teach Japanese language through online to students.

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

Of course, other textbooks are fine, too.  I can teach with the materials that suit you.

Do you want to learn from Anime?  Do you want to study seriously for exams?

Let's talk!

I am so excited to teach each student.  

Looking forward to meeting you soon!

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.

Me as a Teacher

I have experience teaching at a private school, and I’ve been teaching the Japanese language & culture to foreigners for more than 7 years.
In 2021, I earned a TESOL certification, and in 2022 I earned the certificate "Teaching Japanese as a foreign language".
Although, I still continue to study Japanese language education.
I believe that it’s most important to HAVE FUN to keep your motivation of learning.

My lessons & teaching style

• Tailored lessons to each individual's level and purpose
• For beginners, I can explain also in English!
• Quick result!

POLICY

• If a lesson is about to start within 12 hours, it can NOT be changed to a new time or canceled. Last-minute cancellations won't be refunded.
• If you are more than 10 minutes late without notice the class will be considered a no-show and fully charged.

Hi there! My name is Minami, from Japan. I have lived in Australia for two years.

If you are looking for a Japanese tutor who boosts your speaking skill, I am a good choice.

You will open the door towards a new world when you participate in my class.

During the class you are going to get a lot of questions, since I believe the fastest way to learn a second language is “speak a lot “.

I will take you out of your comfort zone and you will find your strengths and weaknesses through the class.

It will help you to build up your “Japanese Brain“ so you will be able to practice by yourself even outside of the classroom.

I am looking forward to seeing highly motivated students! I am a very friendly person with an abundance of patience.

And I am happy to work at your pace.

The door is open for everyone so why not give it a shot now!
