Even if you memorize words and learn grammar every day, when you try to speak, you may not be able to come up with words or speak well. Output is essential for improving your language skills. I have no experience as a Japanese teacher, but I can practice dialogue that you cannot do alone. Let's have fun conversations in various situations and favorite topics! 語学(ごがく)の向上(こうじょう)にはアウトプットが不可欠(ふかけつ)です。 わたしは日本語教師(にほんごきょうし)としての経験(けいけん)はありませんが、 一人(ひとり)では出来(でき)ない対話(たいわ)の練習相手(れんしゅうあいて)になることが出来(でき)ます。 様々(さまざま)なシチュエーションを想定(そうてい)した会話(かいわ)や 好(す)きなトピックで楽(たの)しく会話(かいわ)をしていきましょう!

NANA.
👩🏫 Nationally Certified Japanese Teacher 📍 Japanese that fits real situations Building knowledge is important, but I also value developing a natural sense for Japanese just as much. I teach at universities and Japanese language schools in Japan, as well as an online career and employment program. Through this experience, I place importance on lessons that are thoughtful, realistic, and closely connected to how Japanese is actually used. In my lessons, I focus on thinking while speaking and gradually refining your intuition for the language. Even in a busy daily life, I aim to create time where you can relax, reflect, and adjust your Japanese naturally. I value not only what is said, but how it fits the situation.

Mitch
Japanese Teacher (MA TESOL, U.S.) • 10+ years online • upbeat, positive lessons Students often describe me as cheerful, positive, and easy to talk to. I believe learning should feel encouraging and achievable. On italki I teach in English, Spanish, German, Chinese, or entirely in Japanese, adjusting the mix to your pace, level, and goals. If something doesn’t click, I’m patient and flexible: I’ll explain again, try fresh examples, rephrase, or switch methods. I’m good at motivating learners—building on strengths, challenging just enough, and celebrating wins. I’ve also led Japanese classes at a U.S. university. One small request: if life derails a lesson, a quick note afterward keeps me from worrying (no alien abductions, I hope!). Let’s learn together!

Nat
Friendly and patient teacher :) Beginners welcome! I help students stay positive and motivated. I've been teaching Japanese online for five years. I also take language classes on the italki platform as a student, and that experience has been helping me improve my teaching skills a lot. One of the most important things for me as a teacher is understanding my students' feelings. In my classes, I believe that learning the basics is important, but I also think it’s essential to understand Japanese culture. I value giving students opportunities to discover and experience things that are not always found in textbooks.
