I used to teach English in high schools, so I know how to treat students fairly, especially when they don't know how to improve themselves. By the same token, when teaching Japanese, I will try to work with them and help them to reach their goals contingent to different situations that involve diversified students. 自分が子どもの頃から厳しい先生が嫌いなので、必ず面白い方法で日本語の世界へと誘ってあげます。而如果您的興趣是中文,充滿文化背景支持我也一定會為您創造一個有深度的的中文會話環境。

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!

Insegnante di lingua giapponese con esperienza di insegnamento e soggiorno in Giappone Ciao! Sono Antonio e insegno giapponese online da oltre 3 anni. Ho lavorato con studenti di età e livelli diversi, aiutandoli a raggiungere obiettivi differenti: migliorare la conversazione, approfondire la grammatica, prepararsi per esami o semplicemente imparare il giapponese per passione. Durante il mio percorso universitario ho vinto una borsa di studio che mi ha permesso di trascorrere un anno in Giappone. Durante questa esperienza ho frequentato corsi di lingua giapponese e ho avuto l'opportunità di vivere direttamente la società giapponese, entrando in contatto con la lingua e la cultura al di fuori dell'ambiente accademico. Questa esperienza mi ha permesso di sviluppare una conoscenza più concreta e approfondita del giapponese e del contesto culturale in cui viene utilizzato. Nel corso della mia esperienza ho anche accompagnato e preparato diversi studenti che hanno poi intrapreso esperienze in Giappone per studio, lavoro e viaggio, aiutandoli a sviluppare le competenze linguistiche necessarie per affrontare queste esperienze con maggiore sicurezza. Durante le mie lezioni cerco di creare un ambiente tranquillo e stimolante, adattando il materiale e le attività alle esigenze di ogni studente. Mi piace combinare grammatica, conversazione e cultura giapponese, con particolare interesse per la storia e l'arte, rendendo lo studio pratico, interessante e collegato all'uso reale della lingua.
