Over 7000 hours of private Japanese lesson experience with over 200 students. Let me share my passion for languages with you. I am a native Japanese speaker who has lived around the world. As an adult, I learned English and Spanish, and now I'm also studying Chinese and Russian. For beginners, I find it best to start by learning basic grammar and vocabulary. For intermediate level and above, it depends on your preference, we can focus on conversation or working on JLPT exam, read news articles together, etc. I have over 7 years of experience working for Japanese and American financial firms in Tokyo's financial district. Much of that experience involved verbal and written translation between senior Japanese and American business people. If you are starting a new job with a Japanese firm, or have a temporary posting in Japan, I can help you prepare with the language and skills necessary to succeed!

Do you feel anxious, nervous, or worried when learning Japanese? Many learners carry a lot of anxiety when studying a new language. I understand those feelings, and you never need to hide them in my lessons. I am a patient and friendly teacher who will explain things as many times as you need, until you truly understand and feel comfortable. There is no pressure, no rushing, and no fear of making mistakes. I make sure you always feel safe, supported, and confident while speaking Japanese. My lessons are ideal for learners who want to study calmly, feel understood, and build real confidence step by step.

Hi, everyone! I'm Chie and I'm a native Japanese speaker. Are you interested in Japanese culture, food, TV shows or history?? I've taught Japanese for beginners, intermediate and advance students alike for 5 years, so if you are just starting out don't worry. My lesson is focused on conversation so that students have a chance to interact through verbal communication and participate in the learning of a new language, as well as, have fun in our class. I look forward to having the privilege of helping to introduce a new culture, as well as, the experience of learning a new language to you.

★ Absolute Beginners Welcome!!! ★ Informal fun lessons tailored to suit every individuals. Never has learning Japanese been so enjoyable and achievable; ) All class material is provided. Hi Japanese learners! I am Chiaki, I was born and grew up in Japan, I have lived in Australia for a year and lived in the UK for the last 5 years. In the UK I gave private Japanese lessons to several British students. I enjoyed time with my students so much that I wanted to start to teaching online to meet more people in different countries. Have you ever experienced the situation where you have taken a phrase from a Japanese textbook and said it to a Japanese person and received only a confused look in response? Probably the reason is that textbooks tend to teach Japanese in an ultra-polite form. Those basics are very important to know but you also need to know the casual way to say things, as native speakers do, to make conversations flow. This is also necessary to understand what Jap...

Japanese is NOT just about words and grammar—it’s about PERSPECTIVE, CULTURE, and the STORIES behind it all. Too often, language is taught like a formula, disconnected from its DEEPER meaning. That’s why it feels confusing, why the rules don’t stick, and why it stops being fun. Does this sound familiar? ① Not knowing where to start ② Particles! ③ Conjugations ④ て-form Without cultural and historical context, particles feel random, formalities rigid, and expressions meaningless. In my lessons, I’ll help you see why Japanese works the way it does. Once you understand the “WHY,” everything clicks. It’s not just a language—it’s a way to think, connect, and experience life. Teaching Japanese is not my work, it is my PASSION. It always makes me very happy when I meet people who are interested in my language. I tailor my lessons to suit you! I prepare each class according to your language needs as well as your interests and personality. Me as a Teacher: I specialize in helping ...

✨ LIMITED AVAILABILITY ✨ Hi there! Welcome to my (Kazukosan's) profile! Just imagine watching that anime without the subtitles. Simply spectacular! マジでいい! I believe strengthening listening comprehension skills is the key to navigate language with confidence. How would you communicate in Japanese (or any language for that matter), if you do not know what it sounds like? My passion is to assist my students to listen to the Japanese language through anime, movies, news clips, YouTube videos and help achieve their goals. The tools and techniques I have acquired over years are yours to use which, by the way, can be applied to learning other languages as well! I really want to help you out! May ALL your dreams come true! 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 🌸 I love to teach, so I home schooled my daughter. I taught her Japanese myself and my daughter has no problem communicating in Japanese. At 17 years old, she was able to venture out to Japan on her own. She ordered that Japan only ri...

こんにちは。I'm a native Japanese speaker. I live in Osaka. I am a mother of 2 kids. I attended Osaka University where I majored in Japanese teaching. In the university, I studied how to teach Japanese to foreign people. I think the most important thing is to relax and enjoy the lessons. After graduating, I worked for a localization division of a Japanese Game Publisher in Osaka for a period of 13 years. My duties involved the translation (from English to Japanese) of in-game content and manual booklets for more than 100 games. I understand there are many Japanese phrases that cannot be translated literally to your language. Also, Keigo (Honorific) may be complicating. I'd like to think with you what is the best way to learn the language for you. It may be to read Japanese manga (comic books), to watch Japanese movies, or to discuss some topics of Japanese newspapers.

Hello all, Welcome to my profile!! My name is Takuya Noguchi and I was born and live in Tokyo. I mean I am native and standard Japanese speaker. So, you'll be able to learn beautiful Tokyo Japanese as a gift. One of my strengths as a Japanese teacher must be ”I am in Tokyo right now". I will be able to show you live Japanese life and culture ongoing. First, from my academic background, I completed 420hours of Japanese Teachers' Training Course in Tokyo, and MBA from UMASS in US. My teaching career of Japanese is about two years in fact, however, I am sure that my current business career must be useful for students who want to learn Japanese language definitely. My current work is a consultant of general food business, and simultaneously I am holding my own restaurants chain as a CEO in Tokyo, Japan. So, I especially would like to focus on business language if I can. My class will be able to enjoy together with me and you! Best regards. みなさま、こんにちは! 野口卓也と申します。東京で生まれ、現...
