Empathetic, experienced teacher for dedicated learners seeking real progress in Japanese I began my teaching journey at a Japanese elementary school in Vietnam, passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test, and started teaching online in 2021. Later, I moved to the U.S. to teach in-person while pursuing my Master’s in Japanese teaching. These experiences shaped my style: a unique balance of structured grammar and real-life conversation. Whether you're preparing for JLPT or want to speak confidently, I’ll create lessons just for you. I’ve taught absolute beginners to advanced learners and always aim for clear, encouraging lessons with structure and goals. Let’s build your Japanese together—one step at a time!

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)

I have extensive experience teaching complete beginners (starting from hiragana and katakana). In my lessons, I use textbooks and original materials to practice not only grammar but also natural conversation. For intermediate and advanced levels, I also teach textbook lessons, free talk, news, and composition. Especially recommend my lessons to those who want to: * master both grammar and conversation * gain confidence in conversation * study carefully from the basics * sound more like a native speaker こんにちは!麻衣(まい)と申します。 日本語教師として、これまで約9年の実績があります。東京の語学学校で3年間、台湾の語学学校で2年間教えていました。子供から大人まで、50音から上級まで教授経験があり、主にグループレッスンを行っていました。現在はオンライン教師として、マンツーマンで4年教えています。 私のレッスンでは、「生徒さんにとにかくたくさん話してもらうこと!」を大切にしています。 特に初級を中心に教えています。全くの初心者(ひらがな・カタカナから開始)に教えた経験が多数あります。 レッスンでは教科書とオリジナル教材を使って、文法だけではなく、自然な会話を練習します。 その他、中級以上は教科書レッスン、フリートーク、ニュース、作文などを指導しています。 特に、 ・文法も会話も身に付けたい方 ・会話に自信をつけたい方 ・基礎から丁寧に勉強したい方 ・よりネイティブに近づきたい方 におすすめです!!

    独学でJLPT N1に合格した後、次はどうやってネイティブレベルに近づいていけばいいのか相談したくて、こうすけ先生を選びました。 最初のレッスンでは、一緒に自分の改善点や癖を見つけ、今後のレッスンプランを立てていただきました。また、レッスンプランに沿って進めるだけでなく、日本での日々の生活の中で感じた疑問や、日本語についての質問にも柔軟に答えていただいています。 毎回楽しく話しながら、自分でも少しずつ「ネイティブレベル」という大きな目標に近づいていると感じています。 初心者だけではなく、すでにN2やN1レベルの上級日本語を身につけている方にも、こうすけ先生のレッスンをおすすめします!

    As always, we started our lesson with conversation practice. Yukie-sensei is so helpful when I’m trying to form sentences correctly. She also takes notes on our conversations and sends them after each lesson, which is really useful for reviewing! Today, she used drawings to explain the difference between に (ni) and へ (e), which made it so much easier to understand. I really appreciate the care she puts into her explanations and how she makes grammar practice fun and engaging.

    Today was my 50th lesson with Kurumi-Sensei! It's been really helpful that she's so consistent that I've been able to form a habit of chatting with her and studying together twice a week. Being able to chat with her about everyday things gives me a lot of chances and experience to become more accustomed to hearing and using the exact everyday type of words and grammar structures that I'd want to use instead of just rote memorizing pre-approved standard expressions. Then when we have less to talk about, or are otherwise done with a chat, we progress to studying from the textbook where I can get more concentrated practice on how to use different grammar structures and how to phrase different types of ideas that I may have just been struggling to convey in conversation. It's a really helpful balance and I feel much more confident stumbling my way through practicing speaking, with Kurumi-Sensei's encouragement. いつも本当にありがとうございます!これからもよろしくお願いします!

    Happy 100th lesson! I've never regretted a single lesson with Shoko-sensei. I've learned so much. I'm not farther along due to my own lack of studying, but I love our weekly/biweekly sessions and I always leave feeling confident in what I just learned. Her explanations are incredible and adaptable. Here's to 100 more - and by then maybe I will write in all Japanese!!!

What sets her apart is that she makes an effort to get to know her students, and her encouragement goes well beyond Japanese. She has a real talent for noticing strengths in her students that they haven't noticed in themselves, and for nurturing them. Over our time together she's helped me come out of my shell and pursue things I wouldn't have had the confidence to try before. She's not someone who hands out empty praise, so when she tells you you're good at something, you believe it. The teachers you remember most are the ones who don't just teach. They become mentors whose lessons go beyond the subject itself. Hana is one of those teachers, and I can't thank her enough. She's patient, adapts to how you learn, and makes it safe to struggle with the hard parts. If you're looking for a teacher who will genuinely invest in you, I can't recommend her enough.

Frequently asked questions about online Japanese classes

Do I need a tutor to learn Japanese?

You can learn Japanese without a tutor using free apps, textbooks, and online videos, but it usually takes much longer. Self-study often lacks real speaking practice, immediate feedback, and clear guidance, which makes it harder to stay motivated and progress confidently.Hiring a Japanese language tutor is worth it because they provide personalised lessons, real-time correction on pronunciation and grammar, and structured learning designed around your goals, whether that’s everyday conversation, business Japanese, or passing the JLPT exam.

While it’s possible to learn without platforms like italki, doing so often feels overwhelming and slow because you don’t have a clear learning path or someone to hold you accountable. Combining private Japanese lessons from an online Japanese tutor with extra resources like kanji apps, flashcards, and podcasts gives you the best of both worlds, professional guidance to learn correctly and extra practice to accelerate your progress.

How much does a Japanese tutor cost per session?

Online Japanese lessons typically range from $15 to $60 per hour, depending on the tutor’s experience and lesson format. Many learners choose private Japanese tutors because they provide personalized guidance, instant correction, and real conversation practice that help them progress faster than studying alone.

On italki, you have access to both community and professional tutors, making it easy to find a Japanese teacher that matches your goals and budget. A 30-minute Japanese lesson typically costs between $3 and $10.

How quickly will I become fluent with a Japanese teacher?

Fluency in Japanese depends on your study habits, consistency, and starting level, but working with a Japanese teacher can significantly speed up your progress. Experts estimate that reaching professional working proficiency in Japanese takes about 2,200 hours of study. That said, you don’t need that much time to start speaking. Most learners reach a conversational level after 400–600 hours, which often means 6–12 months of regular tutoring.

Lessons are tailored to your needs, you receive hands-on guidance, and you practice real conversation in every session.This focused approach to Japanese teaching helps you stay consistent, motivated, and moves you toward higher levels of fluency.

Why should I use a Japanese language tutor to learn Japanese with italki?

Using a Japanese language tutor on italki helps you learn the Japanese you’ll actually use, not just textbook phrases, by focusing on real conversations, common expressions, and situations you encounter in daily life.

Your private Japanese tutor can help you practice conversation, review grammar, prepare for exams like the JLPT, or build confidence in speaking, with lessons customized to your level and pace. They correct mistakes on the spot, suggest natural ways to phrase things, and explain cultural context, so you communicate appropriately in any situation.

All lessons are available anytime online, and most operate on a pay-as-you-go system, so you only pay for the private Japanese lessons you take. For learners looking for extra support, italki Plus also offers an optional subscription with features like AI-powered study tools, exclusive events, and discounts.

How do italki's online Japanese classes work?

italki’s online Japanese classes are simple, flexible, and personalized. Here’s how they work:

  • 📝 Create an account – Sign up on italki and start browsing hundreds of qualified Japanese tutors with detailed profiles showing their teaching style, experience, and student reviews.
  • 🔍 Find a tutor – Choose a tutor that fits your goals and schedule, filtering by price, availability, specialization, or tutor type. Many tutors offer trial lessons to help you find the right match.

  • ⏱️ Learn at your own pace – Lessons are fully flexible and can be scheduled daily, weekly, or as often as you like, allowing you to maintain consistent practice and make steady progress in learning Japanese online.

How often should I meet with an online Japanese tutor?

How often you meet with an online Japanese tutor depends on your goals, schedule, and current level. Beginners often benefit from 2–3 online Japanese lessons per week to build consistency, practice speaking, and reinforce new grammar and vocabulary. Intermediate and advanced learners may have 1–2 online Japanese lessons per week for focused practice, exam preparation, or conversation skills.

Consistency is key. Short, regular lessons are usually more effective than longer, infrequent sessions. Your learning style also matters: some students do well with more intensive lessons, while others prefer a slower, steady pace. A private Japanese tutor can help you design a schedule that fits your lifestyle, and lessons can be adjusted as your goals evolve.

Do italki's Japanese tutors offer free online Japanese lessons?

While italki Japanese tutors don’t offer completely free lessons, many provide trial lessons at a heavily discounted rate. Each student can book up to three trial lessons (one per tutor), giving you the chance to experience different Japanese teaching styles before committing. These trial lessons let you try a Japanese lesson online, assess the tutor’s approach, discuss your goals, and see if their style suits you. It’s a low-risk way to find the right Japanese teacher for your needs.

Do I need a basic understanding of the Japanese language before I can take Japanese classes with italki?

No. You don’t need any previous knowledge to start learning Japanese on italki. The platform has many Japanese tutors for beginners who specialize in teaching students with no prior knowledge of Japanese. These tutors understand the challenges of starting from scratch and know how to make the language approachable from day one.

Finding a Japanese tutor for beginners is simple. When browsing tutor profiles, filter by specialization (such as “beginners”), watch introduction videos, and read reviews from other students.

Starting as a complete beginner can even be an advantage, since your Japanese instructor will guide you toward good pronunciation and grammar habits from the very beginning.

What is the difference between an italki Community tutor vs. Professional tutor?

The main difference between an italki community tutor and a professional tutor lies in their qualifications, teaching style, and focus.Professional tutors are certified teachers with formal training. They offer structured lessons with prepared materials, covering grammar, vocabulary, and exam prep. They provide study resources and detailed feedback during online Japanese lessons, making them ideal for beginners or students seeking systematic learning.

Community tutors, on the other hand, are native or fluent speakers without formal teaching credentials. They focus on conversational practice, helping learners build fluency and confidence in a flexible, informal, and often more budget-friendly way.Many learners use both: professional Japanese tutors for foundational skills and community Japanese tutors for speaking practice.

What are the benefits of private online Japanese lessons?

Private online Japanese lessons with a dedicated Japanese language instructor make learning faster, easier, and more enjoyable than group classes or self-study. Your lessons are customized to your level, goals, and interests, be it mastering kanji, improving pronunciation, preparing for the JLPT, or speaking confidently in daily conversation.

This personalized Japanese tuition speeds up learning because your tutor adapts the pace and teaching style to suit how you learn best. You can ask questions freely, revisit difficult concepts, and spend extra time on areas that need the most attention without holding back other students.

Plus, private online Japanese lessons are convenient and adaptable. You can access qualified Japanese tutors from anywhere, often at rates lower than a local in-person instructor. This kind of Japanese tutoring helps you make real progress and use the language confidently.
