人生は出会いとタイミング! As an instructor, I taught Japanese to foreign children in Japan. It was difficult to keep the children's concentration and motivation up, but it was a great experience for me. Nowadays, I think that the new Covid-19 infection has taken away the connection between people. But with italki's online lessons, you can practice Japanese conversation as much as you want, isn’t it? There is a saying in Japan that “there is no rain that does not stop “ and “no night that does not dawn”. If you give up, that's where the game ends. 諦めたらそこで試合終了ですよ!

I have experience as a member of English and Japanese language exchange group. I taught Japanese with textbooks and enjoyed conversation with many Japanese learners and I know common mistakes in Japanese pronunciation and grammar Japanese learners make.  I'm going to teach practical Japanese. Repeating practice is one of the keys to improve but also you should enjoy learning. I will be flexible depending on your level and goal and support you patiently to improve Japanese skill while having fun time. I'm looking forward to meeting you!

And with the help of the Internet, you can even find a native Japanese tutor and take private Japanese lessons online.

Taking Japanese lessons online allows you to study at your most convenient time and place. You can connect with your teacher online via Zoom, Skype, or another mobile application from anywhere in the world. Unlike attending traditional language classes, you will find it easy to do your online studies without disrupting your daily schedules. Also, taking Japanese lessons online allows you to hire a native Japanese tutor even if you’re not located in Japan or another Asian country.

Moreover, hiring an online Japanese teacher is preferred over the conventional language courses because a private tutor can create Japanese lessons plan tailored specifically to you and based on your current level. During the one-on-one lessons, they will focus only on you, unlike in a traditional classroom where the teacher’s attention is divided between all their students. Studying with a Japanese tutor will also help you to gain more confidence and insight knowledge of the language. You and your tutor will engage in real-life conversations and practice your speaking skills in common daily situations. In this way, you’ll learn Japanese more efficiently and gain valuable practical experience. And last but not least, your Japanese tutor will always encourage you to overcome your difficulties and keep improving your language skills.

Finding the right Japanese teacher can be a difficult task. There are many elements to take into account before you make your final decision: their experience, their native language, the teaching materials they are using, and so on.
