An FBI-inspired method to help you speak sooner I was born in Germany and moved to the United States when I was twenty. I have been teaching while pursuing my acting career in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Germany. I have taught adults and children from many backgrounds for more than 25 years. I teach German and English at all levels, and beginners in French and Japanese. My teaching is clear, encouraging, and structured. Students describe me as patient, positive, and easy to understand. I want you to feel safe speaking, making mistakes, and improving step by step. What makes my approach special is that I use language-learning principles inspired by how institutions such as the CIA and FBI train languages: quick recall, immediate sentence building, and active speaking from the beginning. The key is not just memorizing words, but using them instantly. We practice vocabulary through interval recall while forming real sentences, so your brain learns to retrieve the language naturally. I also use pictures for simple prompt-and-response conversations. This helps even beginners speak from the start: I show or describe something, ask guided questions, and help you answer in complete sentences. CANCELLATION POLICY I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. Please use the italki system to reschedule or cancel lessons with more than 24 hours’ notice. Please do not request rescheduling within 24 hours. If you cannot attend, let me know and schedule a new lesson online. I appreciate you and value your time.

Ex-Editor and Marketing Professional. Proud to see my students grow each lesson. Hi, I'm Yukari — a qualified Japanese teacher who grew up in Tokyo and Yokohama, now based in Paris. Before teaching, I worked as an editor and marketing professional — a career spent on the creative side of language and communication. That, combined with a genuine curiosity about people and the world, brought me to teaching. My interests span science, art, architecture, music, and the outdoors. When I'm not teaching, you'll find me at the gym, in the pool, at a concert, or on holiday, hiking, sea swimming, or skiing. I teach learners aged 16 and up. Lessons are tailored to your goals and interests — though please note I don't cover travel Japanese.

Qualified Japanese teacher living in France🇫🇷 Hello, I'm Sayoko. I'm a qualified Japanese teacher. I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan but live in France now. I speak standard Japanese. My hobbies are travelling, watching movies, learning languages & reading books. Since 2018, I've taught Japanese to beginner students on a 1-1 basis. In 2022, I passed the Japanese language Teaching Competency Test. I've studied English at university and now I'm studying French so I understand how difficult it is to learn new languages. If necessary, I can speak English or French to clarify certain points. I use interactive activities so students can practise their language skills. I tailor the lessons to the needs of each individual student. Bonjour . Je suis Sayoko. Je suis professeur de japonais diplômé. Je suis née et j'ai grandi à Tokyo , mais je vis en France maintenant. Je parle japonais couramment. J'aime voyager, regarder des films, lire des livres, cuisiner. Je donne des cours particulier de japonais depuis 2018. J'ai obtenu le diplôme Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test en 2022. J'ai étudié l'anglais à l'université et j'étudie le français maintenant donc je comprends comme il est difficile d'apprendre une nouvelle langue. Si nécessaire je peux parler français et anglais pendant le cours. Mes cours sont interactifs donc les étudiants peuvent mettre en œuvre leur compétences. J'adapte les leçons aux besoins de chaque étudiant.

Genki & Intermediate lessons | French speakers welcome |Check out my students' reviews! ※Video was taken in 2022 Looking for meaningful Japanese conversations in a relaxed and supportive environment? Hello! I'm a certified Japanese teacher with 5 years of online teaching experience. My goal is to help you speak Japanese with confidence through practical, enjoyable lessons. Whether you're learning Japanese for work, your studies, or personal interest, I'll tailor each lesson to your level, goals, and interests. I teach students from upper beginners (who already know hiragana and katakana) to advanced learners. My lessons focus on improving speaking and listening skills, expanding vocabulary naturally, and helping you communicate with confidence in real-life situations. I studied political science at university and have lived in Osaka, Nagoya, and Tokyo, as well as in France, Morocco, and Finland. Living in different countries has given me a deeper understanding of language learning and cross-cultural communication. Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling, cooking, handicrafts, and learning languages. I studied French at university, have also learned some Arabic and Finnish, so I understand both the challenges and the joy of learning a new language. We mainly use Genki and Chuukyuu o Manabou (intermediate), but I can also customize lessons using articles or conversation topics that match your interests. Don't worry about making mistakes—they're an important part of learning! I look forward to meeting you and helping you achieve your Japanese goals.

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.

Certified teacher and translator - Become fluent through fun and interactive lessons! I am a native Japanese teacher living in Germany. I've also lived in the UK and France, and enjoy discovering foreign cultures, while still appreciating Japanese traditions such as tea ceremony and calligraphy. Teaching on italki since 2019, I enjoy sharing my love for languages and accompanying my students on their journey. Some students started with me back then and are still learning with me today, progressing from complete beginner to fluency over the years, and it has been a pleasure to witness their development. Language learning is a long (but rewarding!) process that can be hard to navigate on your own. I guide you based on both my teaching experience and my own experience of learning languages quite different from my own. Certified in 2005, I adapt my approach to each student, combining precise bilingual instruction and comprehensible input. I aim to create a safe environment where you can feel comfortable speaking and making mistakes. Beginners can start from the basics, with my original materials designed to make learning engaging. From intermediate level, we shift focus to application through conversation and activities, to address gaps and strengthen your grammar and vocabulary. You will also develop an understanding of real-life Japanese, society, and culture, so you can express yourself with confidence and feel like yourself in the language. ☆Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching Japanese as a Foreign Language (IIEL) ☆English (C2), French (DALF C1)

As a language learner, I totally understand how the student feel when learning a language. The reason why I became a teacher is because I wanted to help those people who struggle learning Japanese. I believe that the way to study language is not only one way. Each of us have to find our best way. I'm hoping to assist the student to be able to find the most effective and fun way of learning Japanese.
