The best online Japanese speaking tutors

I can understand well what you students can't understand as I've studied many languages. My hobbies and interests. Aerobatics, playing the guitar (flamenco, bossa nova, classical, singing while playing), off-road biking, horseback riding. I love aerobatics, so I went to the US to train as a pilot and got my license. I've traveled to the US several times specifically for aerobatics. I have also competed in an aerobatics competition held in Arizona. I enjoy horseback riding and have been to Mongolia. I studied Mongolian hoping to communicate with the nomadic people. My Japanese language skills. Teaching experience, etc. I attended a Japanese language teaching school to study teaching methods and conducted trial lessons. In 2019, I also passed the "Japanese Language Teaching Proficiency Test". I'm a "Language Geek" and have studied Spanish, Mongolian, German, and more besides English. From my experience studying these foreign languages, I know the tricks of the trade: what's needed to learn a foreign language, what causes confusion, and how to achieve understanding. I also understand the differences in thinking patterns between languages. This knowledge will surely be useful to you when learning Japanese. Generally, I conduct lessons in Japanese. I don't use textbooks. Since you can understand textbooks by reading them yourself, spending time aimlessly reading textbooks with a teacher during an online lesson is a waste of time. Of course, if you encounter anything you don't understand while reading a textbook, feel free to ask questions anytime.

I have experience teaching Japanese at several language schools in Istanbul as well as teaching students privately. I have taught beginner students as well as advanced students who were interested in learning conversation.

🌸Your Safe Space to Practice | English Support Available🌸 Konnichiwa☺️ I’m Risa, a certified native Japanese teacher based in Tokyo🗼 With a background in marketing and international business development, I spent several years living in Thailand and Singapore. As a language learner myself, I know learning a new language can be challenging, but it is truly life-changing. It has broadened my horizons! Inspired by how language learning changed my own life, after passing the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test, I began my journey as a teacher to help my students open new doors through Japanese. ⭐️My Teaching Approach My lessons focus on communication. If you'd like to use a textbook, I'm happy to do so, but it's not necessary. I prepare lesson notes for you, so you can focus on speaking during class instead of taking notes. After each lesson, I'll send you a summary of what we learned, including new vocabulary, grammar, and useful expressions. I believe consistency is the key to language learning, and the best way to stay consistent is to enjoy the process. My goal is to make each lesson something you look forward to as part of your daily life. Please feel free to send me a message or book a trial lesson.

Friendly Certified Japanese Teacher From Osaka Hi! I’m Hazuki from Osaka, Japan. I speak English and Spanish and am currently teaching at a school in Spain. I’ve been teaching Japanese on iTalki since 2020 and love helping students speak confidently while having fun! I love traveling, listening to music, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures🌸 I have been teaching Japanese on Italki since 2020. Since I loved this job, I quit my corporate job and completed a 420-hour teaching certification course. As I believe learning should be enjoyable and relaxed, I try to create a fun learning environment. Since I've learned Spanish, I know how hard it is to learn other languages. Let's make your Japanese learning journey enjoyable together! My lessons will be mostly conversational based as I believe speaking is a fundamental part of any language. I correct mistakes, help improve accents, teach new vocabulary, based on your level of Japanese and interests. I believe that making mistakes is an important part of learning. Since I studied languages myself, I understand how challenging learning a language can be. So I like to provide a fun, relaxed and informal environment.

☞My Experience Before I started to work on italki, I spent 3 years teaching to foreigners who live in Japan as a volunteer. ☞My Lesson Style I focused on improving the speaking skills in my lesson because I think talking a lot is the most important thing for acquiring a new language so I’m preparing a lot of oral practices in my courses.
