Polyglot and TEFL-certified teacher with 6 years of teaching experience I teach English conversation to intermediate and advanced students, during which I make careful suggestions as to how students can improve the grammatical accuracy and idiomatic appropriateness of their spoken English. My strong understanding of Russian has enabled me to help many Russian-speakers in particular. I have heard every mistake Russians can make in English! I also have a special interest in phonetics and phonology. I have a postgraduate education in this subject, and particularly enjoy working on pronunciation. Students looking for detailed feedback on their pronunciation should feel free to contact me.

Learn Japanese with Oyeko! You can learn practical conversations in real-life Japanese situations. I completed a 420-hour Japanese teacher training program in 2014, and since then I have taught at language schools in Mexico and Japan, as well as online. As someone who used to be a “Spanish-language nerd,” I understand the joy of learning a language for fun. Studying English grammar has also helped me understand the challenges of Japanese more deeply, and this experience shapes the way I support my students. I offer four structured courses based on your grammar level: Zero Beginner, Beginner, Pre Intermediate, and Intermediate. In each course, you can learn grammar systematically while having conversations with me in Japanese. I also offer conversation practice lessons for learners of any level. ■Please click each course name for details and textbook information. My lessons are mainly conducted using the direct method (Japanese only), but for beginner levels I also use original materials with illustrations to support understanding. For Spanish-speaking beginners, I can provide support in Spanish as well. I love sharing my passion for language learning and supporting my students’ progress. I’ve met many wonderful learners on italki, and those experiences make me believe we can create lessons truly suited to your needs as we get to know each other over time.

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.

Build natural Japanese through conversation, while strengthening grammar! 自然な日本語を練習しませんか? Japanese Tutor | 8+ Years Experience | Support in English & Spanish Hi there! I’m a native Japanese teacher from Yokohama, currently living in Spain and teaching students from all over the world. Since moving to Spain in 2016, I have taught Japanese in language schools and online to students of all ages. I am professionally trained, having completed the Advanced Japanese Teacher Training Course at The World Japanese Language Center in Australia. Before becoming a teacher, I spent 20 years working in the Japanese corporate world. This experience allows me to help you with honorifics (Keigo) and business conversation if you ever need them for your career. The most important thing to me is that our lessons are fun, friendly, and enjoyable. I focus on conversation and love to adapt each session to suit your needs and mood on the day. As a fellow language learner currently studying English and Spanish), I truly understand the challenges and the "embarrassment" one can sometimes feel. You will never feel that way with me! I strive to create a relaxed environment where we can build a great relationship. If you get stuck, I can support you with explanations in English or Spanish. When I’m not teaching, I love to connect with nature—whether it’s hiking in the countryside or enjoying a quiet day at the beach.
