Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

🌟Experienced teacher with 1,500+ lessons, 🎯 helping students speak Japanese confidently. I obtained my Japanese teaching certification. This certification changed my perspective on teaching Japanese as a foreign language. While using Japanese as a native speaker felt natural, teaching it required a different approach. I'm a friendly and patient teacher who loves creating a fun and relaxed learning atmosphere. Let’s enjoy learning together! At the core of my teaching philosophy is the relationship between learning, interest, and emotions. When learners are interested and emotionally engaged, the material becomes deeply ingrained. Enthusiasm and interest make learning more effective. That’s why I create lessons that connect with your interests.

【Kids& Adults】Let's speak Japanese Naturally and with Confidence! I work at a cafe of tourist information and meet many people from all over the world every day. I am very happy when they speak easy Japanese like 'Arigato' to me. I am glad that they are interested in our language and culture. That's why I decided to become a Japanese teacher. I was a volunteer tutor for foreign students in Japanese class when I was a university student. I supported their learning process and learned how to teach Japanese along the way. I love teaching very much. I would like to have fun talking in Japanese like friends. If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to ask as many times as you need, even if you think they are small things.

Learn Japanese with me! I used to work at an IT company in charge of recruitment, and as a secretary to the president, but I started working as an iTalki teacher in 2021. Since then I’ve taught over 160 students from all over the world. In 2024, I started teaching Japanese at a language school here in Japan. You do not need to be afraid to learn and speak Japanese. Take your time. I will always follow and support you. Let's have fun studying together! I’m looking forward to meeting you :) 以前はIT企業で採用担当や社長秘書をしていましたが、2021年からiTalkiの先生として働き始め、それ以来160人以上の世界中の生徒さんに日本語を教えています。 2024年からは日本語学校でも日本語を教えています。私のレッスンスタイルは、会話中心です。あなたのスピーキングやリスニングレベルに合わせてレッスンを行います。もし日本や日本語に興味があれば、ぜひ一緒に楽しく日本語を話しながらスキルアップしていきましょう。

Experienced Instructor: 30+ Years Teaching, 10+ Online　大学で30年以上、オンラインで10年以上の教育歴 I have been teaching Japanese to non-Japanese people since 1995. These years I have been assigned to academic writing classes at universities in Osaka, so I can help you write passages such as essays. Meanwhile I have practiced foreign languages such as English, Spanish, Korean and recently Chinese. I believe I have tips to offer from my learning experiences. I also have taught more than 1900 lessons at italki as of April 2025, which has helped me to improve my teaching online.

Working as an interpreter in Chinese, Japanese and English for the past six years, I've helped many famous companies, like Disney, Soft bank, Kodansha, Baidu, Bandai and so on, communicate smoothly and without cultural and linguistic barriers. During my free time, I also teach children, students and adults languages at different levels according to their needs. ------ 三ヶ国語の通訳として、６年間たくさんの大企業（ディズニー・ソフトバンク・講談社・バイドゥー・バンダイなど）に言語と文化バリアーを超えたコミュニケーションの架け橋となってがんばってきました。週末には、子供・学生・大人に外国語を教えています。皆さんレベルは違うのですが、必要に応じたクラスを準備しています。 ------ 作为一名三国语言的同声传译，在工作的六年期间，我帮助过很多公司（迪士尼、软银集团、讲谈社、百度、万代等）无障碍沟通。作为业余爱好，我也在教很多小朋友、学生和成年人不同的外语。虽然他们的水平层次不齐，但我会根据他们的需求进行教学。

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!

A tutor who loves Manga & Anime and watches over 200 international films every year Having lived in New York, USA for eight years, I am comfortable communicating in most types of English. In addition, my deep knowledge of anime, manga, and film allows me to understand and engage with youth slang and pop culture references. I am also confident discussing topics that many Japanese teachers tend to avoid, such as politics and economics. I can help students prepare for the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), and I offer flexible study approaches—not only using textbooks like Minna no Nihongo and Genki, but also incorporating learning apps and digital tools to suit individual learning styles.
