Over 6 years of teaching in language school experience 【When I was a university student】 I helped Japanese children and exchange students to learn Japanese as a tutor. I also had experienced Japanese tutoring for American students in Arizona State University. 【Now】 I'm working as a Japanese language teacher for foreigners. By working as a teacher, I realized that age doesn't matter!! There is no late to start learning! Basically, when I teach, I will use Japanese all the way to improve your Japanese skill. But, you can also ask questions in English or Portuguese if it's hard. I understand how difficult to learn foreign languages by my experience. But I'll try my best to help you! Don't worry.

Customized lesson for your ideal goal(16+ years experience for teaching Japanese) Failure is the mother of success.失敗こそ成功の母 Shippai koso Seikou no Haha This philosophy has guided my 16+ years of teaching Japanese. I help learners overcome the fear of mistakes through supportive, confidence‑building instruction. I learned English entirely in Japan (my only overseas trip was three days in Hawaii!). This experience helps me explain Japanese concepts clearly using English scaffolding. As I could learn English in Japan, you can learn Japanese wherever you are—once you’re ready to embrace mistakes and grow from them. As a Harry Potter generation teacher, I make lessons engaging with pop culture such as music, anime, and manga. At the same time, JLPT preparation and business Japanese are part of my expertise, so lessons can be customized to your goals. My teaching journey began in high school, volunteering in a language center’s newcomer class. In university, I worked at an international school, teaching pronunciation. The letters written in Japanese that I received from students are still precious to me. Customized Japanese Lessons Tailored to Your Interests In our trial lesson, we’ll assess your level and set clear goals. We’ll create a personalized plan to reach your ideal proficiency. Learning Materials (interest‑based and practical): ✨Travel Prep ✨J‑POP lyric analysis ✨Movie & anime openings/endings ✨Daily conversation practice ✨JLPT materials (if needed) ✨Business situation Training Let’s work together to speak sophisticated, natural Japanese😊

    An amazing teacher to study Japanese with! Patient, kind and great at teaching nuance within Japanese grammar. She allows me to make the grammar my own by explaining all the ways certain structures and verbs are used, and in which contexts. Paying more attention to things I find difficult. I've already learned so much only within 2 lessons! ゆきえせんせい, ありがとうございま !

    I really enjoy working with Haru and appreciate how patient she is! Every lesson she provides a picture and we work through the details of the picture describing it. At the end of the lesson she sends me a one sheet review page over everything that we covered. This makes it very easy to brush up between lessons. This is great for someone who is trying to learn words in context or has learned Japanese in the past but need a refresher.

    241 Stunden mit Sachiko als Lehrerin - wie die Zeit vergehen kann. Der Unterricht findet auf sehr gutem Deutsch und Japanisch statt - mittlerweile sogar mehr auf japanisch als auf deutsch. Die Dialoge sind meist auf Ereignissen der letzten Woche, wodurch man auch neue Vokabel kennen lernt. Sachiko ist immer pünktlich, gut vorbereitet, und steckt mit ihrer guten Laune immer an. Der Unterricht folgt einem "Lehrplan" analog einem Lehrbuch. Es wird aber nicht nur stumpf das Buch abgearbeitet sondern Grammatik / Kulturelles wird durch eigene, verständlichere Folien / Bilder erklärt. Zu Beginn jeder Unterrichtstunde gibt es einen Dialog / Sprechübung, in der man über Urlaubsbilder, Geschehnisse aus der letzten Woche o.Ä. spricht. Ansonsten sprechen die Zahlen für sich: Anzahl Studenten vs Anzahl Stunden: viele Studenten nehmen mehr als nur 1-3 Stunden bei ihr. 5 Sterne Bewertung bei > 6200 Stunden - findet mal eine 5 Sterne Google-Bewertung mit über 6000 Bewertungen.

    I love my lessons with Shiota-Sensei! He has customised the lessons around my specific interests (board games and craft beer!) and makes the lessons very fun! He keeps in touch in between lessons with information relating to the topics we discussed. It feels like I'm just chatting with a good friend. I have been learning Japanese through apps and online tools and videos, and this is the first time working with a tutor. I'm finding it very helpful to learn more about how to have conversations. ありがとうございます

    I really had fun with Sensei’s listening skill challenge! It made me more aware of the areas where I still need to improve. I also really enjoy how Sensei discusses the latest news and current events, then teaches me how to express my thoughts naturally in Japanese. Overall, I always have a great time learning with Sensei. It’s not only helping me improve my Japanese, but also making the learning experience fun, practical, and engaging! 🇯🇵

Frequently asked questions

What is the JLPT exam?

The JLPT (Japanese-Language Proficiency Test) is an internationally recognized exam that assesses the proficiency of non-native Japanese speakers. Established in 1984, the JLPT evaluates language skills across five levels, from N5 (beginner) to N1 (advanced). Each level tests a candidate’s ability to understand and use the Japanese language in various contexts, including listening, reading, grammar, and vocabulary.

The exam focuses on practical language skills rather than theoretical knowledge, making it relevant for individuals seeking to live, work, or study in Japan. It is widely accepted by educational institutions, employers, and government agencies as a measure of Japanese proficiency. The JLPT is held twice a year in many countries, and passing a specific level can open doors to academic opportunities, professional advancement, and cultural engagement in Japanese-speaking environments.

How can an italki tutor help me prepare for the JLPT?

An italki tutor can significantly enhance your preparation for the JLPT by providing personalized, one-on-one instruction tailored to your specific needs and goals. Here are several ways an italki tutor can assist you:

1. Customized Lessons: Tutors can design lessons that focus on the areas you need to improve, whether it’s vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, listening skills, or speaking practice. This targeted approach ensures that you get the most out of your study time.

2. Familiarity with the JLPT Format: Experienced italki tutors understand the structure and requirements of the JLPT. They can guide you through the different sections of the exam, familiarizing you with the types of questions you will encounter.

3. Practice Exams and Mock Tests: Tutors can provide practice exams and simulate test conditions to help you gain confidence. This practice allows you to assess your readiness and identify any areas that need further attention.

4. Feedback and Improvement: Your tutor can offer constructive feedback on your performance, helping you understand your strengths and weaknesses. This feedback is crucial for making the necessary adjustments to your study approach.

5. Flexible Scheduling: With italki, you can schedule lessons at times that work for you, allowing for a flexible study plan that fits your lifestyle.

6. Cultural Insights: An italki tutor can also share cultural insights and language nuances that may not be covered in textbooks, enriching your overall understanding of the language and its context.

Overall, an italki tutor provides a supportive learning environment that enhances your preparation for the JLPT, making it easier for you to achieve your desired proficiency level.

Will my tutor provide JLPT practice tests and materials?

Many JLPT tutors on italki provide practice tests and study materials tailored to specific JLPT levels, though it’s best to confirm this with your tutor before starting lessons. Many experienced tutors supply mock exams, vocabulary lists, grammar guides, and kanji practice sheets that align with the JLPT structure and format. They might also share official or practice questions to help you become familiar with exam content and timing.

For higher levels like N2 or N1, some tutors even have access to advanced resources, including reading passages and audio exercises that target the test’s more challenging aspects. If your tutor doesn’t directly provide materials, they may recommend reliable resources or share links to websites and textbooks geared towards self-study.

Can I take JLPT classes even if I’m a beginner?

Yes, you can take JLPT classes as a beginner! Many tutors on italki offer beginner-friendly classes specifically geared toward N5 (the easiest level) or N4, which are suitable for those new to Japanese. These sessions typically cover foundational skills, including basic vocabulary, essential kanji, introductory grammar, and simple listening exercises, all aligned with the JLPT format.

Starting with a JLPT-focused class as a beginner is a great way to build structured skills in Japanese while preparing for future tests. Your tutor can guide you through the basics and help you set a steady pace toward proficiency.

How do I know if I’m ready to take the JLPT?

To determine if you’re ready to take the JLPT, a good first step is assessing your comfort level with each skill required for your target level (listening, reading, vocabulary, grammar, and kanji). Taking a mock test can be especially helpful; it simulates the real test experience and lets you see how well you handle the exam’s format and timing.

A tutor can also help evaluate your readiness by reviewing your mock test scores and identifying any weak areas that need improvement. Generally, if you’re consistently scoring near or above the passing level for your target JLPT level on practice exams and feel comfortable with the required kanji and grammar, you’re likely ready for the actual test.
