I was born in Japan and studied in Canada and USA. When I was studying music in LA, I learned Brazilian music and a couple of years later I went to Brazil and met my husband. I didn't know how to speak Portuguese at that time, I only knew how to sing in Portuguese, but from the very first day of Brazil I learned how to have fun and communicate with people without knowing much of the theory and vocabulary. It was just like how people learn jazz. There's a theory behind, but the most importantly we should feel and improvise. And to understand the theory, you first should listen, listen and listen. So my learning and teaching method can be a little unique. It's not like the traditional way that we all know, which you read, write, and listen to the explanations, instead, I want you to feel it. It's important to study and understand the grammar and try to memorize as much vocabularies as you can, but you can't forget to have fun, and you can't memorize things by just reading and thinkin...

こんにちは。🌸 Konnichiwa! 🌸 Are you interested in the Japanese language/culture or planning to go to Japan? I am an experienced and qualified Japanese language teacher. I've been teaching the Japanese language as a second language since 2008. I studied English and am currently learning Italian, so I know exactly what the challenges (and rewards!) of learning languages are like. 👩‍🎓📕✏️ I love teaching as it is great to meet people, and get to know my students and their cultures. Also, it's amazing to see the students improve their Japanese language abilities and be able to communicate in Japanese. I have taught from complete beginner to beyond JLPT N1 level. A little bit about myself: I like playing video games & board games & card games, watching movies & anime, eating, and traveling. Also, I love my two Japanese Spitz. 🐶💖🐶 NOTE: If you're interested in working with me, please book a 30-minute trial lesson first. Also, I would love to hear about your language goals (or anything else you ...

(Español abajo/Português em baixo) Hi, I'm Azumi from Yokohama, Japan. I can teach you Japanese in English, Spanish and Portuguese! I was born in Tokyo, raised in Yokohama and schooled in Vancouver, Canada. I have taught Japanese since 2004 in 3 different countries: Canada, Colombia and Brasil. I teach from beginner's levels to preps for Japanese Language Proficiency Exam (JLPT) levels N5-N1 or the exams for the scholarships offered by the Japanese Embassy, called MEXT. I have many students who have passed N1 and N2, won the MEXT scholarships and are studying or working in Japan! I also worked in Colombia as a Japanese-English-Spanish translator and interpreter for 10 years, mainly in international technical cooperation projects. The strength in my teaching is that I can explain Japanese grammar with comparisons to English, Spanish or Portuguese. When a student asks a question about Japanese, seldom do I say "because that's how it works". I can provide you a clear explanation for ev...

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.

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 ...

★ 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...

Unlike repeating exercises where a person listen to the ...
