I will support you in your new challenge!! 一緒に楽しく日本語を練習しましょう☕️✨ I am a certified Japanese teacher with a national qualification. I have over 10 years of experience teaching Japanese in Japan, Taiwan, and the Dominican Republic. Language learning can be done alone. But lessons are a chance to actually talk a lot with a native Japanese. That's why I provide lots of opportunities to speak Japanese in my lessons.

Yuuki@Anime Sensei
Japanese Top 1 % Teacher,Learning with Your Passion for Anime/Manga/Video game Let me tell you the story about why I wanted to be an italki teacher. After my graduation from university, I went study abroad in Canada. At that time,mainly I were hanging out with my Otaku friends in Canada, we had different languages but same passion for same hobbies. Then I realized that “Learning language makes my life much more fun.” Anime and my Otaku friends motivated me improving English skills a lot! So now, I’d like to do the same by teaching Japanese for those who have same passion like me!

back to Japan on May 15th, will update when settled! You can be self taught, but you will realize how a language in actual communication can be totally different than in textbooks. (maybe anime too😅) If you'd like to master a language and be comfortable with communicating in another language, you can't escape from the steps of learning and understanding the culture. It helps you a lot for better communication for sure! Although you can easily collect information on the internet, you wouldn't know if that's true or not until you actually experience by talking to local people or visiting the country. And i am here to help you improve your Japanese and answer your questions/curiosity about Japan! I can possibly be your tour guide in Japan!

【私と日本語をいっしょにべんきょうしましょう(^^)/ I did more than 1500 Japanese lessons !】 【English is below】 italkiではもう700回近くレッスンをしています。 プライベートレッスンを含めると1500回以上のレッスンを行いました。 自分の生徒さんが、レッスンをするごとに日本語が上手になっていくことが私もとてもうれしく、 日本語講師を続けるモチベーションとなっています。 生徒さんとはレッスンでたくさん会話をします。 私のレッスンを通して、自身をもって日本語が話せるようになってほしいです。 When I was 19, I lived in England for 8 months studying English and Music. The first 2 month was very difficult for me as I could not speak any English at all. Before I went to England, I only studied English words and grammar but this really didn't help me much at all. I quickly realised how important it is to do a lot of conversation practice when learning a new language.

I completed all the requirements of Japanese Languages Teacher (420 hours). And I have Bachelor of Commerce and I’m qualified for a financial planner. And I passed the English proficiency test (Eiken) grade 2. I strongly believe that a good portion of any lesson should feature at least some speaking practice and so I aim to create a relaxed atmosphere where you feel you can make mistakes. I encourage you not to be afraid to make mistakes, because when you learn from your mistakes, that is how you progress. I will do corrections throughout the lesson or at the end of the lesson, depending on the pace. I'd love to help you fulfill your dreams and achieve your goals :)

I'm happy to hear the news that students passed the JLPT. It's your turn next. Let's study with me Before I became a Japanese teacher, I was an English teacher at Junior High School in Japan for 15 years. I became interested in teaching Japanese after experiencing volunteer work. I like teaching and studying foreign languages. Between 2020 and 2021, I taught Japanese in Vietnam. I really enjoyed teaching there. 日本語の教師になる前は、日本の中学校で英語を15年間教えていました。 ボランティアを経験して、日本語を教えることに興味を持ちました。外国語を教えたり学んだりすることは面白いです。 2020年から2021年までベトナムで日本語を教えました。とても楽しい経験でした。

How about talking to a teacher who reads manga almost every day? I have limited experience as a Japanese instructor, but I can offer a variety of topics. I have given over 10 lectures as a guest speaker to students ranging from elementary to high school, sharing my volunteer experiences in Botswana. 講師としては経験が少ないですが、様々な話題を提供できます。講師としては、ボツワナでのボランティア経験を小学生から高校生までの子供たちに、10回以上1時間の講義を行ったことがあります。

Certified🇯🇵🇬🇧teacher👩🏫 Materials for absolute beginners and travellers are also available📖✈️ ネイティブの先生とレッスンするのがベストだと分かっていても、いきなり彼らと話すのは緊張するし自信がない...。説明を聞いても英語だからスッキリしないし、結局何が間違ってたのかよくわからない...。そんな経験があると思います。まずは日本人の私と練習してみませんか?私もハンガリー語を少し勉強していますが、ちゃんと理解したいので英語も話せるチューターを選んでいます。 私はイギリスの大学を卒業し、現地でTESOLという英語を教える資格を取得しました。日本に帰国する前はロンドンのサマースクールでヨーロッパやアジアからの学生に英語を教えました。また、2020年には日本語教育能力検定試験に合格し、日本語を教える資格も取得しました。言語全般における形式や音声学などの知識もあるので、英語の文法や発音、ライティングのコツなどを教わりたい人はぜひトライアルレッスンを受けてみてください。細かいこと考えずにただ英語でたくさん会話したい、という方も大歓迎です :)
