Let’s enjoy the process to learn Japanese! Speak like natives! 自身も英語学習者であり、ほかの言語を学ぶ難しさややりにくさを理解しています。勉強につかれた人、つまずいてしまった人が「日本語を学ぶ楽しさ」を思い出すきっかけを作ります。 I know how hard to learn languages especially Japanese. There are new characters, different cultures, and new orders of words in the sentences. I would love to help you and improve your Japanese. I want you to enjoy learning with me.

Yongbin
✅ Certified Polyglot Tutor ✅ Writer & Global Traveler ✅ Humoruos and patient ✅ MA in Sociology I have been teaching Chinese for 13 years, serving as a language guide and tutor rather than a traditional school teacher. My approach encourages you to engage in speaking and organizing language independently and actively. 🏆 With diverse work experience in finance, education, journalism, and tourism—and a decade of collaboration with a Nobel Laureate —I bring more than just language instruction to my classes.

Misako (Michelle)
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!

Speak Japanese confidently through real conversation. Born and raised in Japan, I have gathered diverse experiences in international settings that have shaped my open-minded and flexible approach to communication. This background allows me to appreciate both the uniqueness of Japanese culture and the richness found beyond traditional boundaries. As a tutor, I focus on meaningful communication rather than perfection. I aim to help you use Japanese in real-life situations, encouraging natural expression and confidence through genuine conversations. My lessons are designed for learners who want to deepen their connection with the language and explore ideas in a relaxed and supportive environment.

I will support you with all my might !! I have learned German. I could understand how people feel when they are facing new language, because I had also difficulty studying German. I have some experiences of teaching Japanese in German. I’ll teach you all situations, you need to know, like for business, traveling, chatting with your friends or any romance with your partner. I currently teach Japanese, math, and English to elementary and middle school students at a private tutoring school, so I am also able to teach your children in my italki classes.

Lisa りさ
Intermediate & Advanced Japanese: Speak More Naturally and Confidently I have been teaching Japanese professionally since 2020. I completed the Japanese language education course online. I specialise in 1:1 classes and I have significant experience teaching intermediate students. I will work with pre-intermediate students who only speak everyday conversation and develop their range so that they can speak on different topics such as social problems, science and art. My classes will be fun and relaxing and also focus on your progress. I believe in students studying proactively, not me telling students what to do. I am a facilitator rather than an instructor and I guide you in my classes while you work it out for yourself.
