For beginners and intermediates, I usually use the GENKI textbook. For advanced, we can focus on speaking, so we can choose topics for each lesson to discuss. I also love anime. So if you would like to, we can learn Japanese through anime or manga, too. For children, we can learn Japanese in a fun way! We can sing Japanese songs or watch fun short clips to increase your vocabulary! I love teaching Japanese, about Japan, and Japanese culture.

Multi lingual Japanese teacher! As a language learner, I know what is more important in learning different languages. For some people memorizing words and phrases will work, for some people just having a real conversation with a native speaker will help. So let's find what works for you and learn together! 日本人の方へ、英語を勉強していらっしゃる方で、英語を勉強したい方は日本語を使って説明ができますので、是非一度レッスンをお試しください。上級の方には英語でのレッスンが効果的だと思いますが、日本語での説明の方がより効果的に内容の把握をすることができると思います。

Native Japanese, fluent in English. Great communication skills and international cultural knowledge. I first got involved in teaching Japanese as a conversation tutor when I was at the university in San Francisco, USA.  Since then, I love working with people from different cultural backgrounds. This is also one of the reasons why I became a documentary photographer. I have visited over 90 countries to document different cultures and people. For the joy of teaching, I have also taught photography at workshops. Teaching requires a great deal of patience and communication artistry which also apply to become a good photographer as well.  In general, it is truly rewarding to see my students succeed in learning skills.

会話(かいわ)を楽(たの)しみながら新(あたら)しい文法(ぶんぽう)や単語(たんご)を身(み)につけよう🌸 I have been teaching Japanese online since October 2024. Before that, during my student days, I supported international students as a volunteer and taught Japanese through language exchange.
I majored in Japanese linguistics at university. My lessons are fun and relaxed, like chatting with a friend. 😊 I’m also studying English.
I’m not fluent, but I can give simple support in English.
Recently, I started learning Spanish too. 2024年10月からオンラインで日本語を教えています。 学生時代にボランティアスタッフとして留学生のサポートや、言語交換で日本語を教えたことがあります。また、大学で日本語学を専攻していました。 リラックスした雰囲気で友達と話すような楽しいレッスンができます。 私も英語を勉強しています。 流暢ではありませんが、英語でも簡単なサポートができます。 最近スペイン語の勉強も始めました。

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!

Let's have conversations about topics you're interested in to improve your Japanese! Through my past experiences I've met a lot of lovely people from all over the world and the one thing that stuck out to me the most was the opinion about how difficult Japanese is to learn as a second language. I've decided to take to italki so I may reach more potential friends around the world and converse in this beautiful language! I'm so excited to use the new methods of teaching I learnt in practice in our learning together! I'm so looking forward to meeting you all and being your tomodachi 👫

I have been teaching Japanese face-to-face for 5 years I have been teaching Japanese face-to-face for 5 years I have a lot of experience teaching Japanese. Some of the students I've taught passed the JLPT N2 in just one year, even though they couldn't speak Japanese at all. The first step in learning Japanese is to not be afraid of making mistakes. It's okay to make mistakes, so let's talk a lot! The fastest way to improve is to talk a lot about your favorite Japanese topics. I'm looking forward to talking with you all

Osaka-BOY, travel-loving tutor|Learn natural Japanese through relaxed conversation I’m still new as a teacher, but I always analyze each student in real time and adjust the lesson to their level and needs. Many students have told me, “That was fun!”—and that makes me really happy. I often use English and a whiteboard to help with understanding. We’ll focus step by step, setting clear goals and celebrating each small success. Failure? I don’t believe in that. It’s just a checkpoint on your journey! 講師としてはまだ始めたばかりですが、目の前の生徒さんをリアルタイムで分析し、レベルに合わせて進めています。 実際に受けてくださった方から「楽しかった!」という声もいただいており、とても嬉しく思っています。 英語やホワイトボードを使ってログを取ったり、意思疎通しながら、わかりやすいレッスンを心がけています。 目標や通過点を大切にしながら、段階的にフォーカスして進めていきましょう。 「失敗」なんて言葉は、僕の中にはありません。それはただの通過点です!
