Learn real Japanese with a certified native Japanese teacher with over 10 years of experience! I’m a certified native Japanese teacher and I’ve been teaching Japanese as a foreign language for over 10 years: 5 years teaching at universities in Argentine and Brazil and 7 years teaching online. I have worked with students of all levels―from absolute beginner to advanced―from all over the world! I love learning languages as well as teaching Japanese, so I understand quite well the difficulties and pleasures in your language learning journey. Sometimes it hard to keep motivated, but I’ll do my best to give you the pleasure, motivation and confidence. I’m always searching and trying new and different teaching methods to develop my teaching skills and abilities.

たくさん日本語でお話ししましょう! 間違ってもだいじょうぶ。楽しく会話をしましょうね。 あなたに会えるのをお待ちしています! I firmly believe that if you would like to be a good Japanese speaker, you need to speak a lot as much as possible :-) You don’t have to worry about grammar so much. What you have to do is just hearing Japanese language a lot, like podcasts, movies, animes, music,YouTube videos etc... and speak it . I believe that helps you to pick up words and sentence structures naturally. And you can also pick up native terms from it as well. That will help you speaking Japanese a lot. Believe it or not, just try it;-) 私は海外の友人に、日本語の話ことばを教えています。 私は、自分が外国語を学んだ経験から、会話を上達させるにはとにかく、できるだけたくさん話すことが必要だと信じています。ですので、皆さんが会話を上達させるための話し相手になり、上手に話せるようになるためのお手伝いをさせていただきます!

TOMOKI
Let's enjoy studying Japanese! 翻訳の仕事をしているので日本語の細かいニュアンスを伝えることができます。以前はホテルで働いていたので丁寧な日本語も教えることができます。特にフランス語圏の方につきましては間違いやすいポイントを知っていますので初級から上級者の方に対応いたします。 J'enseigne souvent le japonais surtout à mes amis francophones. Je connais donc les points dans lesquels les Francophones ont tendance à se tromper. Comme je travaille en tant que traducteur, je peux transmettre les nuances subtiles du japonais. Je peux aussi enseigner le japonais poli grâce à mon expérience dans l’hôtellerie. I have been teaching Japanese on Italki since August. And since I work as a translator, I can explain the subtle nuances of Japanese. I can also teach polite Japanese thanks to my experience in the hotel business.

I'm happy to hear the news that students passed the JLPT. It's your turn next. Let's study with me Before I became a Japanese teacher, I was an English teacher at Junior High School in Japan for 15 years. I became interested in teaching Japanese after experiencing volunteer work. I like teaching and studying foreign languages. Between 2020 and 2021, I taught Japanese in Vietnam. I really enjoyed teaching there. 日本語の教師になる前は、日本の中学校で英語を15年間教えていました。 ボランティアを経験して、日本語を教えることに興味を持ちました。外国語を教えたり学んだりすることは面白いです。 2020年から2021年までベトナムで日本語を教えました。とても楽しい経験でした。

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.

With 5000+ hours of experience in teaching, I've helped great learners find their passion and voice My strong point is.. my memory! You wouldn't believe it but I remember what I taught you more than you do, although honestly, you are not only my student. This makes it easy for me to plan what we should do in every lesson and you don’t need to worry if you didn’t have time to review because we will review a lot! Pronunciation is my favorite topic. Although I don’t start teaching pronunciation right away because its priority isn’t so high. However, there are not a lot of Japanese teachers who can teach this topic since it is too complicated, and I’ve been helping hundreds of students to improve their pronunciation.
