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!  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.

-----------------------------------📌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 pleased with our small progress than big progress🙌
 

I look forward to joining your journey!

Let's start speaking!

I have a high passion for learning languages!
Myself, I learn and speak more than 6 languages besides my native language.
I also work as a designer and an artist.

Class types (55min/30min):

• Japanese for beginners (include homework) (A0-)
• Conversation Practice (A2-)
• Writing correction (A1-) (Offline)

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.

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! :)

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.

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,

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
