Polyglot and TEFL-certified teacher with 6 years of teaching experience I teach English conversation to intermediate and advanced students, during which I make careful suggestions as to how students can improve the grammatical accuracy and idiomatic appropriateness of their spoken English. My strong understanding of Russian has enabled me to help many Russian-speakers in particular. I have heard every mistake Russians can make in English! I also have a special interest in phonetics and phonology. I have a postgraduate education in this subject, and particularly enjoy working on pronunciation. Students looking for detailed feedback on their pronunciation should feel free to contact me.

Certified teacher who not only knows English but also knows how to teach Japanese to English speaker 🎓Bilingual, Qualified Secondary School Teacher A native Japanese teacher with Australian teaching qualifications brings deep cultural insight and bridges cultural and linguistic gaps for English-speaking learners through authentic, culturally relevant learning materials. I explain Japanese grammar clearly in English, bridging gaps that teachers without training in Japanese language pedagogy in English, AI tools, and self-study may leave. I tailor my lessons to each student's needs, helping them enjoy learning while steadily building their skills. My goal is to help them become confident and independent learners. 📚Over 10 years of teaching experience I have worked with learners from absolute beginners to advanced students (N5–N1), supporting them in achieving their goals for work, JLPT, daily life, etc. My lessons are well suited to motivated learners who enjoy taking an active role in their learning. 🎯Two types of lessons. 🔹 Informal Tutoring - Developing verbal communication skills without textbooks or set plans A relaxed space to practise speaking. I correct errors during conversation. This course is only for learners who are already comfortable speaking Japanese. 🔹 Professional Structured Lessons - Developing verbal communication skills while building a strong foundation through lesson plans and learning materials I also assist with homework, proofreading, and exam preparation. 📢Recognising hiragana is essential 🚫No influencers, please!

Hi! I’m Nikki. I teach English and Filipino here on Italki. I speak a little bit of Japanese as well. I'm curious about all kinds of things, especially psychology, history, languages, and world cultures. I also enjoy reading, watching anime, and playing video games. I've been teaching for six years, and I like to plan my lessons around what my students want to learn. Lesson Types: 1. Kids, Teens, & Exam Prep (Structured) I love teaching younger learners! I use materials like Power Up (Cambridge Primary) for kids and the Oxford Achieve series for teenagers, alongside educational websites, to keep lessons fun and effective. For IELTS Speaking and Cambridge English exams, I provide targeted coaching focused on exam strategies and mock practice. We’ll work directly on the skills you need to get familiar with the format and reach your target score. 2. General English & Conversation (Flexible) For students building fluency, our lessons are organic but progressive. We start with familiar interests and move into a wide range of topics to help you build vocabulary and express your thoughts clearly in any situation. To help you improve, I’ll point out mistakes, suggest more natural expressions, and help you sound more fluent in conversation. My approach adapts to your goals. Whether you’re moving abroad, preparing for an exam or an interview, or just improving your English, we’ll build the skills and confidence you need to move forward! Let’s work together and make it happen!

(2) Lessons where we use an existing curriculum upon request. (Can provide homework for either kind of formal lesson if needed.) 2. Conversation practice (English, Chinese or Korean) These sessions are for guided conversation practice or freetalk style practice.

Swedish Lessons Based on Psychological Science and Polyglot Experience - Flashcard Deck Every Lesson ✅ If you don't speak English, no problem. I can understand Spanish, Portuguese, French, Italian, German and Japanese. I can teach you Swedish/English/Spanish using these languages (as support languages). My method is combining psychological science and personal experience in order to build an increasingly complex (nuanced) model for learning languages. Aside from conversing with my students and "intellectualizing" the language (discussing grammar etc.) I like to help the student to start to build his or her own model for learning languages. I want my students to become more and more independent in their learning. I am also a student of psychology at the University of Linköping in Sweden.

Chinese for Beginners · Grow to Business | MBA · CFA ESG | 4 yrs Hi, I'm Jiazhen (Johnny) — based in Shenzhen. Zero Chinese characters? No problem. We start with one sentence.​ Have a foundation but freeze when speaking? I'll help you build real fluency. Business goals later? We'll get there. Background:​ MBA + CFA ESG | TESOL / TCSOL | 4+ yrs on iTalki, Preply, AmazingTalker. Also a language learner myself — I get the struggle. What makes me different — the Lingopath System: Most tutors give homework. I give you a learning operating system that remembers every mistake you make — so you never waste time on what you already know. 🧠 Smart Tracking​ — Captures your weak points mid-class, then builds your next lesson around them. Today's stumble becomes tomorrow's practice. 📱 Flashcard Auto-Sync​ — Key vocabulary flows to your phone. 5 min/day. 📝 Progress Journal​ — Every correction and milestone saved permanently. Watch yourself grow from zero to confident. 🗣️ Real Speaking Focus​ — Role-play, scenario drills, zero textbooks. Mistakes become assets, not embarrassments. Your path:​ One sentence → daily scenarios (food, directions, small talk) → business Chinese (meetings, negotiations, cross-cultural). 👉 Book a trial lesson.​ Let me show you how easy learning Chinese can be — with the right system behind you. ———————————————————————————————————————————— PS:我也为中国专业人士提供商务英语辅导——相同的语径智能追踪教学法,不同语言。如有兴趣,欢迎咨询

    I find my lessons with Annette extremely useful for practising the speaking component of the OET. We manage to complete two scenarios in half an hour, and I can see that I am gradually improving over time. I really enjoy working with her, and I appreciate that she often extends the lesson by a few minutes to allow us to finish reviewing the corrections or to ask me whether I need any further advice on how to improve my OET performance.

  • huanhuan Zhang

    Learning English

    Under Naphan’s guidance, I learned how to speak English in a relaxed way—no rush, no pressure, no particular goal. Just chatting, going wherever the conversation takes us, and talking about whatever comes to mind. And suddenly, I realized I could speak more than I ever thought I could. I’ve come to understand that my problem was never really my mouth. It was my mindset. The more relaxed I am, the more naturally the words flow. Sometimes, the less you try to achieve, the more you gain. Thank you Naphan.

    I started Business English lessons with Joanna in October through the “Let’s Talk Corporate” programme, and the course has been tailored to my job from the very first session. She took the time to understand my daily work as a database engineer in the utilities sector, then built a twelve unit course around real topics such as metering applications, Oracle PL/SQL, billing logic and system architecture. Every lesson comes with conversation cards featuring realistic role plays between colleagues, with key grammar structures highlighted in context, vocabulary lists translated into Italian and useful professional phrases. A checklist of phrases to use during each session keeps the practice focused and measurable. Joanna is receptive, encouraging and always open to feedback, adapting the lessons whenever I suggest improvements. I would highly recommend her to any professional looking for Business English that is truly relevant to their work.

Frequently asked questions

How do I find an English teacher who also speaks Japanese?

Use the “Also speaks” filter on italki to see English teachers who speak Japanese. Read their profiles, watch their introduction videos, and check student reviews to find the right match for your learning goals.

How much do English lessons for Japanese speakers cost?

Prices depend on the teacher’s experience, qualifications, and lesson type. You can find English teachers starting from $5 to $50+ per hour, and many offer trial lessons at a discounted rate so you can try a teacher before you commit.

Do I need to know any English before booking a lesson?
