Hi I'm Sayoko! 😊Calm, patient and friendly certified tutor with 8 years of experience 🎓 Fluent in English 💛I love teaching beginners!!🌍 I've lived in U.K., U.S.A., and Australia😊I mainly use Genki textbook. 🗾 Born in Tokyo, speak standard accent.🧳 25 years of experience as a translator of children’s book from English to Japanese.👨🏻🎓 Completed 420-hour Japanese teacher training course😊 Taught over 2000 online lessons ( at Verbling, Preply and other platforms )
For beginners:
I teach Hiragana and Katakana using Padlet, PDFs, PowerPoint, and Flashcards. After that, we move on to the Genki textbook to study sentence structure and grammar. I often use audio resources to help you get used to natural speaking speed and intonation. I also use the Shadowing method.
*Shadowing is a practice method in which a person listens to the audio and follows immediately what s/he hears, like a ‘shadow’ as faithfully as possible by voicing it. Unlike repeating exercises where a person listen to the ...

Hey everyone, I’m Anna! I was born and raised in Japan. I’ve been teaching Japanese for a while now and I’d be happy to help you as well.
I lived in Canada for one year and had a lot of life-changing experiences there. I was amazed by how much Japanese culture (history, language, media, etc.) is appreciated around the world. That made me quite proud to be Japanese! Now, I want to help others understand the rich culture and language of Japan. The more words you learn in Japanese, the more you will be able to enjoy your visit to Japan! It will also become easier for you to understand Japanese news, film, and television.
I will help you improve your writing, listening, and speaking and am willing to work with beginner, intermediate, and advanced students. You’re welcome to talk with me about a variety of subjects: Japan, your hobbies, or anything else! I understand how stressful it can be to learn a new language, and I will work my hardest to provide an informative, engaging, yet rel...

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.

<My teaching experience>
I have a postgraduate certificate to teach Japanese to non-native speakers. I have been working as a private teacher for ten years in London and Auckland.

✅Total beginner, Business, or Super Advanced? All levels are welcome! You can learn at your own pace.✅日本の教員免許を持っているので日本人の方には英語も教えています。Hi, I am Mika. I was born and bred in Japan but learned English in England and moved to Australia for work 23 yrs ago. I have got more than 3,000 hrs of online private teaching experience so far. I purely enjoy every single lesson and love talking with each and every student. They are all keen to learn and make me realise lots of new things. I am a teacher but at the same time, I learn lots from my students too. I love having one on one lessons since I can see the students' progress well and improve each student's weakness.
🌸I have travelled to 30 different countries. I love meeting new people and learning about different cultures. I have been living away from Japan for many years now but I read and watch Japanese news and programs a lot daily so my Japanese is up to date (Our language is always updated with new vocabulary and expressions, it's quite...

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...
