Patient & structured Japanese lessons for beginners | Speak with Japanese & connect with Japan 🌸 Hi, I’m Chihiro—a native Japanese speaker from Nagasaki, living in Australia since 2016. Before starting my teaching journey, I worked as a nurse for many years. Supporting people, listening with empathy, and making others feel comfortable have always been at the heart of what I do. I bring that same patient, caring approach into every single Japanese lesson. Who I Teach I specialize exclusively in teaching adult learners (beginners to lower-intermediate). My lessons are specifically designed for adults who: -Want to speak naturally with their Japanese family members, spouse, or in-laws. -love Japanese culture, history, or language and wish to learn thoroughly. -Appreciate a calm, respectful, and steady learning environment. -Value continuous, long-term progress over quick shortcuts. My Teaching Style & Lessons -Learning a new language as an adult takes time and courage. I aim to provide a safe, encouraging space where you can ask questions freely and learn without pressure. -Structured & Visual: I use clear visual slides and structured materials -Clear English Support: Whenever you feel stuck, I provide clear English explanations so you understand the "why" behind the grammar. A Little About Me Outside teaching, I love learning new languages and subjects, practicing yoga, spending time with animals, and traveling. I truly believe that consistent, quiet effort leads to wonderful results—“Practice makes perfect” is my daily motto! I look forward to meeting you in class!

Practical Japanese for Real Communication 🗣️🌸 From N5 Beginners to Upper-Intermediate in Tokyo 🗼 I’m Rinko. 🍎 I’m a certified Japanese teacher based in Tokyo. As of September 2026, I have 3+ years of teaching experience and have taught 2,500+ lessons through online and in-person classes. 🗼 You can start with confidence, even if you don’t read hiragana or katakana yet. 🌸 Learn Japanese you can actually use. My lessons focus on real communication, not just memorizing grammar and vocabulary. I explain natural Japanese, including differences in meaning and nuance. We also practice free conversation using the grammar you have learned, while picking up new vocabulary and expressions. My goal is to help you turn what you study into Japanese you can actually speak. 🌱 Beginners (N5) • Hiragana & Katakana • Basic grammar • Conversation 🌿 Intermediate & Upper-Intermediate We’ll practice conversation through topics such as daily life, news, hobbies, and work. If you know grammar but find it difficult to speak, I’ll help you turn that knowledge into real communication. JLPT preparation: N5–N3. 🧠 Choosing the right teacher matters. Feeling comfortable speaking, asking questions, and making mistakes is important for improving. If my photo or video gives you the feeling that we might be a good fit, or that my speaking style and rhythm suit you, feel free to reach out! ✨ I enjoy anime, rock music, history, and economics, and bring these topics into my lessons. Let’s build your Japanese communication skills together! ✨

I can understand well what you students can't understand as I've studied many languages. My hobbies and interests. Aerobatics, playing the guitar (flamenco, bossa nova, classical, singing while playing), off-road biking, horseback riding. I love aerobatics, so I went to the US to train as a pilot and got my license. I've traveled to the US several times specifically for aerobatics. I have also competed in an aerobatics competition held in Arizona. I enjoy horseback riding and have been to Mongolia. I studied Mongolian hoping to communicate with the nomadic people. My Japanese language skills. Teaching experience, etc. I attended a Japanese language teaching school to study teaching methods and conducted trial lessons. In 2019, I also passed the "Japanese Language Teaching Proficiency Test". I'm a "Language Geek" and have studied Spanish, Mongolian, German, and more besides English. From my experience studying these foreign languages, I know the tricks of the trade: what's needed to learn a foreign language, what causes confusion, and how to achieve understanding. I also understand the differences in thinking patterns between languages. This knowledge will surely be useful to you when learning Japanese. Generally, I conduct lessons in Japanese. I don't use textbooks. Since you can understand textbooks by reading them yourself, spending time aimlessly reading textbooks with a teacher during an online lesson is a waste of time. Of course, if you encounter anything you don't understand while reading a textbook, feel free to ask questions anytime.
