Takako Kobayashi
26 years as a singing & voice teacher, now sharing Japanese songs and language lessons on italki. I am a voice and singing teacher with over 26 years of experience, teaching students from many countries, often using Japanese songs to learn the language. I have organized concerts and voice seminars, and some private students have studied with me for over 20 years. As an italki tutor, I create lessons tailored to each student—conversation, grammar, or Japanese through music. I share documents, record audio for homework, and support each student’s goals. Teaching is my passion, and students’ smiles are my greatest motivation. 歌と声の先生として26年以上の経験があります。世界中の生徒に日本語や歌を通して教え、コンサートやセミナーも企画運営しています。プライベートの生徒の中には20年以上学ぶ方もいます。italkiでは、一人ひとりに合わせた会話、文法、日本語学習を提供し、資料の共有や音声宿題でサポートします。生徒の笑顔は、私の最大の励みです。

植物とおしゃべりが好きな日本語の先生です🌸 I’m a Japanese teacher who loves plants and chatting! 楽しく日本語を教えます! 私は420時間日本語教師養成講座を修了しています。 より良い授業のために、日本語教員試験(国家資格)と日本語教育能力検定試験に合格しました。 I have completed a 420-hour Japanese Language Teacher Training Course. To provide better lessons, I passed two major exams in Japan: the Japanese Language Teacher Exam (a national qualification), and the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test. 言語学習で大切なのは、「たくさん話すこと」「学ぶ目的」「モチベーションを保つこと」だと考えています。 まちがえても大丈夫!やさしくフィードバックします。 I believe the key to learning a language is speaking a lot, having a clear purpose, and staying motivated. Don’t worry about mistakes—I’ll always give you gentle feedback! ⭐ I’m still learning English, so I may use simple words. But I’ll do my best to communicate with you!

Mitch
Japanese Teacher (MA TESOL, U.S.) • 10+ years online • upbeat, positive lessons Students often describe me as cheerful, positive, and easy to talk to. I believe learning should feel encouraging and achievable. On italki I teach in English, Spanish, German, Chinese, or entirely in Japanese, adjusting the mix to your pace, level, and goals. If something doesn’t click, I’m patient and flexible: I’ll explain again, try fresh examples, rephrase, or switch methods. I’m good at motivating learners—building on strengths, challenging just enough, and celebrating wins. I’ve also led Japanese classes at a U.S. university. One small request: if life derails a lesson, a quick note afterward keeps me from worrying (no alien abductions, I hope!). Let’s learn together!

Klara Mikamo
Japanese language and culture in a casual way ✌ Up until now, I have been teaching for more than two years now and I really enjoy it. I have premade lessons that I use for teaching, but of course, I can organize lessons to one's wishes. In my lessons, I try to use as many as possible different resources for learning and I can promise you that a class with me won't be boring. I'm trying to be professional as much as possible, but I would like to create a relaxed atmosphere so that we can learn with a smile on our faces.

CHIKAKO
[NEW YEAR SALE] PACKAGE FOR FREE TALK | Qualified Japanese teacher |Japanese from Zero| As a teacher, I focus on creating a safe and comfortable learning environment for students who are new to Japanese. My main focus is on beginners, especially absolute beginners who may feel nervous about speaking or making mistakes. In my lessons, I don’t rely heavily on textbooks or complicated grammar explanations. Instead, I teach simple and practical verb patterns and encourage students to use them immediately to create their own sentences. Because of this approach, many students are able to start speaking Japanese and feel real progress even within a one-hour lesson‼︎ My goal is to help you enjoy learning Japanese and feel confident taking your next step.

Hanako
Japanese package lessons currently up to 35% off! I loveアニメAnime,漫画Manga and かわいいkawaii!( ´∀`)bグッ! I've studied abroad in Oxford for 9 months and I've got the B2 level certificate at the school. My husband is British so I speak English everyday. I'm sure my English will improve soon. When I was in England as a student, I felt lots of people are interested in Japanese. They asked me pronunciations, some Japanese words, culture and so on. I was so glad to hear that. Also, my husband and their friends are keen on Japanese Anime. My hobbies are watching Anime and reading Manga so I have lots of opportunity to teach Japanese things in Japanese. Thanks to such great encounters, I decided to become a tutor.

Monica
Welcomes students at all levels—from complete beginners to those with some experience and beyond! I'll create a personalized lesson plan just for you, based on your goals, strengths, and things you'd like to improve. That’s why I really value good communication during our lessons. I’ve been teaching Japanese for 6 years since getting my teaching certificate in Tokyo. Even before that, I was volunteering as a Japanese tutor. As someone who’s learned English and a few other languages, I know how tough it feels when you start learning a language from scratch—so I always try to make lessons fun and easy to stick with. I also love sharing about Japanese culture, so you’ll get more out of your lessons and enjoy your future time in Japan even more!

MAMORU MS
My first priority is students' interests and purposes of taking lessons. I'm here to help you attain your goals no matter what they are. I usually take students from intermediate to advanced level speakers since I'm a community tutor who don't have a structured series of courses with textbooks. For completely beginners and those who are younger than 18, I recommend to consider taking lessons with other professional tutors. My classes will also be good for those who are planning to visit Japan since I can provide lots of useful information of sightseeing spots, cultural perspectives and useful greetings/phrases/words as a traveler. 日本の文化や日本に来たときに役に立つあいさつやフレーズを教えることもできます。

yokann
我在中国和日本都做过兼职中文老师。也在北京好未来教育科技有限公司参与过北京市初高中语文的教师培训。 我擅长激发学生们对中文的兴趣,丰富学生对中文的理解,帮助学生构建中文学习的知识框架。在以往的教学中我注重与学生的互动和提升学生的课堂积极性,我认为只有做好这两点才能让一节课有效率,有收获。 I’ve been a part-time Chinese teacher both in China and Japan. I’ve also taken the training course in TAL education group as a high school Chinese teacher. I am good at stimulating students’ interest in learning, helping them acquire a better understanding of Chinese. In the past teaching lessons, I put emphasis on interacting with students and enhancing their enthusiasm. I think these two points can make a lesson more essential and achievable.

Yasu Sensei
Professional qualified teacher who has taught at a Japanese language school in the Los Angeles area Beginners with Genki 1 & Genki 2 are welcome. As I reflect back on the various occupations I’ve had, I see a common ground in all of them; a teacher. I have taught English in Prep Schools, I was a Christian Pastor teaching the Bible in churches, I was a communication skills trainer at the mentally handicapped training center and now I am a Japanese language teacher for foreigners and missionaries. The greatest joy as a teacher is to share the moment with the student when the unknown becomes known and understood. There is joy in understanding intellectually with the mind, as well as the excitement of understanding with the heart. I teach with Genki 1 for beginners and Genki 2.
