Working as an interpreter in Chinese, Japanese and English for the past six years, I've helped many famous companies, like Disney, Soft bank, Kodansha, Baidu, Bandai and so on, communicate smoothly and without cultural and linguistic barriers. During my free time, I also teach children, students and adults languages at different levels according to their needs. ------ 三ヶ国語の通訳として、6年間たくさんの大企業(ディズニー・ソフトバンク・講談社・バイドゥー・バンダイなど)に言語と文化バリアーを超えたコミュニケーションの架け橋となってがんばってきました。週末には、子供・学生・大人に外国語を教えています。皆さんレベルは違うのですが、必要に応じたクラスを準備しています。 ------ 作为一名三国语言的同声传译,在工作的六年期间,我帮助过很多公司(迪士尼、软银集团、讲谈社、百度、万代等)无障碍沟通。作为业余爱好,我也在教很多小朋友、学生和成年人不同的外语。虽然他们的水平层次不齐,但我会根据他们的需求进行教学。

Multi lingual Japanese teacher! As a language learner, I know what is more important in learning different languages. For some people memorizing words and phrases will work, for some people just having a real conversation with a native speaker will help. So let's find what works for you and learn together! 日本人の方へ、英語を勉強していらっしゃる方で、英語を勉強したい方は日本語を使って説明ができますので、是非一度レッスンをお試しください。上級の方には英語でのレッスンが効果的だと思いますが、日本語での説明の方がより効果的に内容の把握をすることができると思います。

Multilingual teacher with informal experience, my students have passed Turkish Airlines interviews. Hello, my name is Burak. I am currently a university student with over 15 years of experience in English. I have a deep understanding of languages and love sharing my knowledge with others, regardless of their level. I have proven my language proficiency with a score of 78/80 on the Turkish YDT exam, and an N1 Japanese proficiency certificate. I've taught English to a number of people, including B2 level English speakers and tourists planning to visit Africa. Thanks to our combined efforts, a close friend of mine even passed all the English interviews necessary to become a host for Turkish Airlines, one of the most prestigious airlines in the entire world. I can teach Turkish as well. I can teach all levels, from beginner to advanced, A1 to C1, covering conversation, writing, and both practical and theoretical aspects. I specialize in explaining grammar and linguistics in clear, simple terms, making complex concepts easier to understand. Some learners may need immediate proficiency while others may be looking for a deep dive. Thus, all lessons are tailored to your needs and goals. We can focus on improving converdational speaking and listening skills, strengthening grammar, or exploring how the language works at a deeper level. I aim to build your confidence and guide you through every aspect of language learning, as we step into this multicultural adventure.

    I have been taking conversation classes with Stephanie for two years and as a result recently received my C1 certificate in the IELTS exam. I have now moved on to taking her Business English classes, which I also highly recommend to anyone who wants to improve their English for career advancement in business or STEM.

    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.

  • Matteo Naccarato

    I have been preparing for the IELTS with James, and I couldn't be happier. His teaching approach is ideal: lessons are well organised, and he always explains things clearly with practical examples. What I appreciate most is that he corrects my mistakes immediately and explains the reason behind each correction, which has helped me improve my writing and speaking much faster. I feel comfortable and confident in his lessons, and I can really see my progress. I would definitely recommend him to anyone preparing for the IELTS

    앤 선생님은 학생이 편하게 대화할 수 있게 분위기를 만들어주시고, 개선점이나 새로운 내용을 전달할 때는 아주 명확하고 깔끔하게 내용을 설명해주셔서 이해하기 쉬워요. 수업이 끝나면 피드백 내용을 파일로 만들어서 따로 전달해주시는데, 그동안 무의식적으로 하던 습관들을 개선시키는 방안이나 구조적으로 깔끔한 영어를 말할 수 있는 표현들도 많이 알려주셔서 복습하고 혼자 연습하는데 도움이 돼요. 경험이 많으셔서 제가 고민을 말하면 교육적으로 검증된 명확한 해답도 안내해주십니다. 수업이 끝나고 나면 알찬 수업이었다는 생각이 들어요! 좋은 스피킹 선생님을 찾으신다면 추천합니다:)

    I had a wonderful experience learning with this teacher. I was quite nervous about my IELTS exam, but he guided and motivated me throughout the lesson. He carefully evaluated my performance and shared valuable tips that helped me improve and achieve my desired result. He speaks very clearly, explains everything in an easy-to-understand way, and is extremely supportive and encouraging. I highly recommend him to anyone preparing for IELTS. Truly one of the best teachers!

  • 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?

No. Because your teacher also speaks Japanese, they can explain grammar and vocabulary in your own language, which makes starting from zero much easier. Complete beginners are welcome.

What are the benefits of learning English with a teacher who speaks Japanese?

A teacher who understands your native language knows the mistakes Japanese speakers typically make and can explain difficult points clearly. You learn faster, stay motivated, and can always ask questions in Japanese when you get stuck.

How do I schedule English lessons on italki?

Create a free italki account, choose a teacher you like, select a lesson, and pick a time from the teacher’s calendar. You can manage all your lessons from your dashboard.
