会話しながら文法も学びたい♩LEARNING GRAMMAR AND FIXING REPEATED ERRORS AND HABITS WHILE ENJOYING CONVERSATION♩ I am friendly and honest teacher, always do my best to help you! I am passionate about helping students to understand complicated topics by making them simple, or to distinguish similar meaning words by giving detailed explanations. My lesson is focusing on NATURAL DAILY CONVERSATION ( not for tests, but I can help if you share your study materials :) So PLEASE HAVE MEMORIZED ALL HIRAGANA before your first lesson. I’m NOT certificated teacher and not fluent in English, so I might not be the best one to answer your questions sometimes, especially about nuances between similar expressions in English. Of course I try my best finding answers and get it back to you as soon as possible!

Akane Sensei
Most Japanese kids lessons taught on italki! Licensed kindergarten teacher *:) I was working as a kindergarten teacher for three years after I graduated college. After that, I lived in the US for two years to learn English. I have experience as working at a Japanese language school and teaching Japanese language to private students. I've been a professional teacher for eight years. English is my second language, so I can empathize with others who are also learning a new language. 日本では大学卒業後、幼稚園教諭として3年間の経験があり子どもの拙い日本語を優しく指導してきました。そして英語を学ぶ為、渡米し二年間コロラド州に住んでいました。現地の日本語学校での職務経験とフリーランスとして多数の生徒たちに日本語を指導してきましたので、プロの講師としては8年目になります。英語は私の母国語ではないので、私も他言語を学んだ一人として、他言語を学ぶ人の気持ちがよくわかります。

I value creating lessons tailored to each student. Everyone has different goals and learning speeds, so I carefully listen to your needs and provide a plan that suits you best. I don’t hold special teaching certificates, but I have many years of tutoring experience in Japan, where I was a popular teacher among students. My lessons are mainly conversation-based! I make sure you have plenty of time to think and speak for yourself, so your conversation skills will grow naturally. I also focus on building a bright and relaxed atmosphere, where you feel safe to make mistakes and keep trying. My goal is to learn with you, not just teach you.

Taka it Easy
I’ll help turn your worries about learning a language into fun and confidence. Do you enjoy chatting? If so, you’ll quickly improve your Japanese and be a great fit for lessons with me. But even if you get nervous and find speaking difficult, that’s absolutely no problem. Over many years in the fashion industry, I’ve listened to customers of all ages, and I want to hear your stories and have you talk a lot during our lessons. The goal of our lessons isn’t just to speak well with me. The most important thing is to enjoy conversations with **other Japanese people**, right? That’s what I’m here to fully support you with. Also, I’d love to teach you some of the “ways of speaking that make people like you” that I learned through my customer service experience.

REAL JAPANESE WITH ME!! Officially Certified & Registered Teacher✨ Teaching over 250 learners😊 Learning a foreign language can be very difficult. Learning a language becomes more enjoyable when you are into the country and its culture. I myself have had the experience of learning languages, starting with English and then learning other languages as well. When you learn a new language, it is exciting to receive the feeling that your world is gradually expanding inside you! Having lived in Malaysia, I have a good understanding of different cultures and multinational atmospheres. 外国語の学習はとても大変ですよね。 言語の勉強はその国や文化を好きになることでより楽しくなります。 私自身、これまで英語の勉強、他の言語も学習してきた経験があります。 新しい言葉を学んでいくと、自分の中の世界がだんだんと広がっていく感覚がありワクワクしますよね! マレーシアに住んでいたこともあって、異文化・多国籍の雰囲気に理解があります。 僕と一緒に日本語の勉強を頑張りましょうね!!!

Enjoy speaking Japanese! Japanese is FUN!! (See Youtube @chiekoosugi233) I've got many years of experience. My first experience was in the Philippines. I was a volunteer sent by the Japanese government and taught at the Foreign Service Institute of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. My students at that time were all adults mainly government officials. After that I went to New Zealand to continue teaching Japanese at a university and also secondary schools. Upon returning to Japan, I taught English to the young Japanese volunteers who were going out to some developing countries for their tasks. Aside from the many years of teaching experiences, my knowledge of multiple languages helps understand the students' psychology and I can help them effectively.

Martynas 賴瑞森
Qualified teacher with 5 years of experience. Taught more than 5000 online classes. I am aware that some students might not have easy access to good French study materials so I will be willing to share my textbooks with you. Throughout the years I have accumulated a wide array of materials for all levels and interests coming from all of the threemain French publishers Hachette, Cle and Didier. These will come in handy should your goal in taking the lessons be school or test preparation or if you are a linguistically minded person. I possess the experience and the materials necessary to help you prepare for DELF, DALF and TCF exams. For the Japanese classes I use Minnanonihongo I&II (みんなの日本語I&II) and Genki I&II (げんきI&II).
