音楽のように日本語のリズムを教えることができるプロ講師 I’m a Japanese teacher born and raised in Tokyo. I currently live in Fukuoka. Drawing on my experience with piano, I enjoy teaching standard Japanese pronunciation and natural rhythm in a fun way, almost like music! My lessons are perfect for anyone who wants to feel the intonation of Japanese words as a kind of melody. I also have business experience in the oil industry and customer service, so I’m confident in teaching polite honorific language and practical conversation. Since I have studied abroad in Korea, I understand very well how challenging it can be to learn a foreign language. My hobbies are watching dramas and traveling and gardening. I love bringing your interests and favorite topics into our lessons. I’m excited to meet students from all over the world and fully support your Japanese learning journey♪ 저는 도쿄에서 태어나고 자란 일본어 교사입니다. 지금은 후쿠오카에 살고 있습니다. 피아노 경험을 살려, 표준 일본어의 발음과 자연스러운 리듬을 “음악처럼” 즐겁게 가르칩니다! 일본어 단어의 억양을 멜로디처럼 느끼고 싶은 분께 딱 맞는 수업입니다. 또한 석유 회사와 서비스업에서 일한 경험이 있어, 정중한 경어와 실용적인 회화 지도에도 자신이 있습니다. 한국에서 어학연수를 한 경험이 있기 때문에, 외국어를 배우는 어려움도 잘 이해하고 있습니다. 제 취미는 드라마 감상, 여행, 가드닝입니다. 여러분이 좋아하는 것과 관심사를 수업에 반영하는 것을 아주 좋아합니다. 조금 덜렁대는 면도 있지만, 수업만큼은 진심입니다! 전 세계의 학생들을 만나 여러분의 일본어 성장을 전력으로 돕겠습니다♪ 東京生まれの日本語教師です。ピアノ経験を活かし、標準語の発音や自然なリズムを音楽のように楽しく指導します!イントネーションをメロディとして感じたい方にぴったり。石油会社や接客業でのビジネス経験もあり、丁寧な敬語や実践的な会話も得意です。韓国語留学経験があるので、外国語学習の苦労もよく分かります。趣味はドラマ鑑賞とガーデニング。あなたの「好き」や興味をレッスンに取り入れるのが大好きです。世界中の生徒さんと出会い、あなたの日本語の成長を全力でサポートします♪

Absolute beginners are welcome😊 Let's study Japanese language and the culture behind it together! Born in Tokyo and raised in Kanagawa, I now call Oregon home after moving from Japan a few years ago. As an intercultural communication specialist (BA & MA), I love bridging cultures through language—especially with beginners! When not teaching, I’m baking, binge-watching shows, sewing, or traveling. I love animals (I have 6 fur babies), and your pets are welcome to join lessons anytime to make learning relaxed and fun. Let’s explore Japanese language *and* culture together! 東京生まれ、神奈川育ち、数年前からオレゴン在住です。国際文化学専攻(学士・修士)の経験を活かし、初心者にも優しく日本語と文化を教えています。レッスン以外ではお菓子作りや旅行、Netflix鑑賞をしていることが多いです。動物が好きなので(6匹飼っています)、ペットと一緒にレッスンに参加するのも大歓迎です!リラックスした雰囲気で、一緒に楽しく学びましょう! I started teaching Japanese in 2013 as a volunteer in my hometown, and completed all the requirements of the Japanese Language Teacher Training Course in 2020. I have met people from more than 30 countries through this teaching career so far and I really enjoy teaching the language and the culture. 2013年に地元でボランティア講師として日本語を教え始め、2020年に日本語教師の資格を取得しました。日本語を教えることを通じて今まで30カ国以上の人に出会い、日本語と日本の文化を教えることをとても楽しんでいます。 Because italki is mainly for private lessons, I would like to focus on what and how the students want to study. I think studying Japanese in Japanese is a bit too hard sometimes (especially for beginners), so I would love to help students by using English if needed. If you are interested in my lessons, please feel free to message me. For the cancellation policy, please check the lesson booking page.

I have started teaching as a teaching assistant in Japanese classes when I was going to college. For the last 20 years, I've been helping new employees to get adjusted to their lives in Japan. Teaching basic Japanese was one of the support I was providing. I have helped my friends to pass JLPT. I have also supported foreign tourists as a volunteer guide in Tokyo, Osaka and Hiroshima. Therefore, I am confident that I can support beginner level students well. I love seeing their smiles when they were able to use the language that they learned with locals. That’s the best thing when you are learning a new language. We will talk a lot in my class. That's the best way to gain confidence.

    Highly recommend if you are an intermediate Japanese learner looking to speak more Japanese. We casually talk during the lesson and Hide creates your study materials based on what you talk about during the lesson. You end up learning a lot about what you would normally talk about in conversations in your native language and it feels personalized.

    I highly recommend Hina Sensei for anyone who is looking to seriously improve their language skills, whether through the JLPT or otherwise. Thanks to Hina Sensei’s well structured lessons and thoughtful feedback, I’ve been able to make more progress than I thought possible. As a person who best learns by doing, I can read textbook explanations and examples all day and not truly understand. But Hina Sensei’s lessons always make me directly engage with the material right away and I learn so much faster this way. Hina Sensei also has tons of in-depth knowledge of the JLPT and learning and putting her strategies into action is really helping me improve. I know this test is a big challenge for me but with Hina Sensei’s guidance I think I’ve got a chance 😊

    We went through more reading strategies today. It was really hopeful to know how to read faster for different types of questions. Chieko’s lesson is always very structured where we go through the theory before diving into the practical and wrapping up with a summary. She’s also very encouraging despite me not being 100% sure and guessing answers which makes me feel at ease. When there is a word I don’t know she also encourages me think what it means as there are probably plenty of words in the JLPT that I won’t know.

    Dear Hana Sensei, It has been a true honor and privilege to take lessons with Hana sensei. She has gotten me more in touch with my Japanese cultural heritage dating back to when my Japanese grandfather first journeyed from Hiroshima to California in 1900. She has been my inspiration to learn Japanese at a higher level continue my learning journey. Currently, I have taken more than 105 weekly lessons. During these lessons, I have learned about Japanese culture, customs, daily life, and how to communicate in Japanese! I have enjoyed my lessons so much that I am striving to one day take the JLPT examination, a comprehensive Japanese language proficiency test. Thank so much for making learning Japanese exceptionally fun and rewarding! I can’t wait for next week’s learning experience! Take care. ~ Debbie

    This is my second (and certainly not last) "Refining Your Japanese: Mastering Natural Expression" class. I took this class because I wanted detailed feedback on the mistakes I frequently make. During the first class, we talked and decided on the type of conversation I wanted, and I chose mostly freestyle unless I have no topics. The class is very fun but extremely helpful! While we're talking, sensei is writing everything I say. After 20 minutes or so, before I change the topic, we go over what I've said and correct it one by one. Sensei gives color-coded feedback and explanation when needed! Soyoko sensei's feedback is extremely detailed, exactly what I wanted and more! Thank you sensei! see you next class :D

    11번째 수업을 마쳤는데, 매번 성과를 느끼고 있습니다. 다소 부족한 어휘력 탓에 서투르게 표현해도 찰떡같이 이해해 주십니다. 문법적인 질문에도 세심하게 답해 주셔서 도움이 됩니다. 단순히 회화 횟수를 채우는 것을 넘어, 저의 실력을 한 단계 도약시켰다고 생각합니다. 하즈키 선생님은 일본어 공부 향상을 도와줄 수 있는 좋은 튜터입니다. 앞으로도 수업은 계속 이어받을 생각입니다.

    As always, we started our lesson with conversation practice. Yukie-sensei is so helpful when I’m trying to form sentences correctly. She also takes notes on our conversations and sends them after each lesson, which is really useful for reviewing! Today, she used drawings to explain the difference between に (ni) and へ (e), which made it so much easier to understand. I really appreciate the care she puts into her explanations and how she makes grammar practice fun and engaging.
