★いっしょに楽しく勉強しよう!Let's study together!★ 日本語教師の資格を持っています(2009年~)。資格取得後、ずっと地域の日本語教室で日本語を教えており、現在も続けています。 オンラインレッスンは2年ほど経験があります。 ティーチングではなく、コーチングを意識し、生徒一人一人に合わせて、柔軟にレッスンに対応するよう心がけています。 日本語を教えることがとても好きです。日本の文化や価値観もたくさん伝えたいです。 I have been certified as a Japanese language teacher since 2009. Since obtaining my qualification, I have been teaching at a local Japanese language class and continue to do so today. I also have about two years of experience teaching online. Rather than simply "teaching," I focus on a coaching approach, adapting each lesson to suit the individual needs of my students. I truly enjoy teaching Japanese and hope to share not only the language but also Japanese culture and values.

en français & in English 🌟 塾講師歴4年🏫オンライン講師歴6年💻 仏 Après avoir fini les études, j'ai travaillé comme enseignante d'anglais principalement pour les élèves d'école secondaire. Maintenant je donne des cours privés de japonais en Suisse, et j’enseigne aussi l’anglais et le français de niveau débutant aux Japonais. De plus, il m'arrive de temps en temps de faire des cours d'origami depuis toujours. Je vais également lancer un cours pour apprendre à faire des sushis aux enfants. 英 Since graduation, I've worked at a private school for over four years, mainly as an English teacher for children around 11 to 15 years old. Now I sometimes teach Japanese, Origami and Sushi-making in French and also basic English and French to Japanese. 😊✨

Marichan
Miss Creative Educator with Professional Knowledge, and Teaching over 15 Countries. Hello guys! こんにちは! Hola a todos! I'm Marina. I speak Japanese, English, and some Spanish, so I can also teach the person who doesn't know Japanese at all. In my class, I would like you to have fun speaking and understanding Japanese in a daily conversation. For example , I can help you to understand Japanese anime, cartoons, Japanese drama or any part of Japanese culture that you like. Otherwise we can talk about the recommendation of Japanese food, Music, tourist attractions, etc... I will try to find more engaging ways to teach Japanese only for you through our conversation. Therefore, please let me know what type of class you would like to have. どんな話題でお話しがしたいか、予めお知らせください!:)

Master Japanese from basics to fluency with expert guidance!今月は何を達成したいですか。今月も出来ることを増やしていきましょう。 I have lived in Spain since 2016 and have taught Japanese to Spanish students in several language schools in person to children and adults in small groups and one-to-one. During this time, I also completed a Advanced Japanese teacher training course at The World Japanese Language Center in Australia. I now teach online classes to groups and one-to-one. I worked for a number of companies including a major Japanese electronics company past 20 years in Japan and through my working experience in Japan, I have also mastered honorifics and business manners, so if necessary, we can also practice business conversation such as Keigo together.

Japanese with Ayano
Hi, I’m Ayano!! I’m a native Japanese speaker who loves teaching people from all over the world. I speak some English but we will mainly use Japanese in our lessons because that’s the best way to learn! I like my lessons to be fun because then you will be motivated to keep learning! I know how hard it is to learn another language because I’m learning English, so I will be very supportive. Maybe you want to learn Japanese to pass a test, speak to friends, get a job, or just for fun - whatever the reason, I will help you! !

Let's talk a lot of Japanese that you know in a relaxing class! I've been a Japanese teacher for 5 years, with 3 years on italki and 2 at other institutions. I started studying education and psychology at university in 2025. My goal is to create a safe and understanding learning environment that boosts learning outcomes. I prioritize building a relaxed atmosphere where you can learn comfortably. Due to work and university commitments, I can only offer up to 3 hours of lessons per day. However, I use my experience to pack each lesson with valuable learning. I've conducted over 2,000 lessons on italki and around 500 at my previous company. With limited time, I strive to deliver at least one new discovery in every lesson.

Saeko Yamaguchi
Accepting new students (60min→55min/45min→40min/30min→25min) As a teacher, I try to ✔︎ be academically well-informed / flexible / patient / honest / friendly ✔︎ have my students talk as much as possible (instead of me talking) ✔︎ use flipped classroom strategies (input at home, output in class) ✔︎ use Japanese as much as possible ✔︎ always review the previous lesson ✔︎ be (very) strict with pronunciation (らりるれろ, devoicing of vowels, mora lengths and pitch-accent) and most importantly: ✔︎ give meaningful feedback ✔︎ translate what the students want to say into easy & simple Japanese sentences - so that they can use it the next time! I also teach English to local students in my hometown in Ibaraki prefecture (an hour away from Tokyo by train).
