Let's practice speaking in Japanese with me! Are you afraid of making mistakes? Don't be! As a Community Tutor, I create a relaxing atmosphere, but I am serious about your progress. My biggest strength is "English Support" and "Gamification". Since I use English for work daily, I can explain Japanese nuances clearly when you get stuck. You don't have to struggle in silence. I also believe that "Fun" is the best way to learn. That's why I combine language learning with games like Minecraft. I am patient, friendly, and flexible. I will tailor my teaching style to your personality. Even if you are a slow learner, we can go at your own speed!

Eve Eve
I’ve taught English at a Japanese cram school for junior and senior high school students for 2 years, and worked in childcare where I encouraged young learners to use English in daily activities. I also volunteered to teach English at a local kindergarten. These experiences taught me how to be patient, adaptable, and creative in my teaching — skills that are just as important for adult learners as for children. Combined with my nursing background, I’m good at listening carefully and making students feel comfortable and supported. My goal is to create a relaxed space where you can speak freely, make mistakes, and learn natural, everyday Japanese without feeling pressured.

Toru
I'm a professional Japanese teacher and a native Japanese speaker. I completed all the requirements of the Japanese Language Teacher Training Course (420 hours). I teach Japanese from 1st year to 4th year university students. I also teach Japanese to employees of a company. So I can teach Japanese at a variety of levels from beginner to advanced. I know that it's difficult to learn a foreign language, but I will be your teacher, so you can ask me everything about Japanese and also Japanese culture. I am also learning English and Filipino, so I can understand your feelings about learning another language. Since I lived in Kyoto and Osaka, Japan, I can also teach the Kansai dialect.
