I am certified to teach Japanese and currently teach at a language school in Taiwan and for private students. I teach general Japanese, business Japanese as well as exam preparation for JLPT, to students from various backgrounds. Some of my students started to learn with me from Hiragana, the most basic letters in this language, and some others are advanced learners who are required to use Japanese for their jobs. I am so happy for what my students and I are doing together to improve their skills, and having good time in each class.

🌸Helping students achieve their goals (JLPT📚️ kids👦👧business💻️ dialect🐶shadowing🎧️ ) I started teaching on italki in May 2021 and ranked in the top 1% of Japanese tutors in 2022! Thanks to my students, I have completed 3000 lessons!! I’m proud to have helped 90% of my students pass the JLPT who tried the exam through my italki lessons. Beyond italki, I have over 7 years of experience teaching Japanese, English, and math to Japanese students. In my italki lessons, I often provide 5-10 minutes of additional time for free after class and offer clear, detailed feedback to support my students’ growth. Teaching on italki is my passion!

Akane Sensei
Most Japanese kids lessons taught on italki! Licensed kindergarten teacher *:) I was working as a kindergarten teacher for three years after I graduated college. After that, I lived in the US for two years to learn English. I have experience as working at a Japanese language school and teaching Japanese language to private students. I've been a professional teacher for eight years. English is my second language, so I can empathize with others who are also learning a new language. 日本では大学卒業後、幼稚園教諭として3年間の経験があり子どもの拙い日本語を優しく指導してきました。そして英語を学ぶ為、渡米し二年間コロラド州に住んでいました。現地の日本語学校での職務経験とフリーランスとして多数の生徒たちに日本語を指導してきましたので、プロの講師としては8年目になります。英語は私の母国語ではないので、私も他言語を学んだ一人として、他言語を学ぶ人の気持ちがよくわかります。

Michelle / Misako
Professional teacher who can guide students who really want to speak Japanese After teaching at Japanese elementary school in Vietnam for 2 years, I took the Japanese Language Teaching Proficiency Test and began teaching Japanese online through italki in 2021. I then moved to the United States (Porland, OR) to teach Japanese to American students in-person while earning my Master's degree in Japanese Teaching Methodology. I gained experience teaching Japanese online / in-person in order to teach grammar effectively while still focusing on conversational practice. Tell me your goal and I will make a great lesson plan especially for you. I will do my best and would be happy to help you improve your Japanese!! 欢迎大家跟我一起学习吧!! リラックスして日本語を一緒に勉強しましょう :)
