italkiで7年11ヶ月日本語を教えています!フィリピンのセブ島に約7年住んでいました!去年の年末にIT系の会社を引退しました。日本語でいろいろなお話をしましょう!どんなことでも聞いてくださいね! こんにちは。I'm Hiro. I am a native Japanese speaker. I have been teaching Japanese on italki for nearly 8 years, and I have taught students of all ages, from young children to seniors. I have rich life and business experience, including company management, executive work, customer support, and tour guiding. Because of this, I can help you not only with daily conversation but also with business Japanese, job interviews, workplace manners, and professional keigo. I am a cheerful and friendly teacher, so you can feel relaxed and comfortable in my lessons. I enjoy talking about many topics, and I always try to create fun conversations based on your interests. I also love traveling, so we can talk about Japan, overseas trips, and recommended places. I was born in Hokkaido and lived there for many years, so I can also share a lot about Hokkaido and Japanese culture. My lessons are customized to your goals. If you tell me what you want before class, I will prepare the lesson to fit your needs. During conversation, I clearly explain your mistakes and help you improve your Japanese naturally. I can also help with university interviews, company interviews, mock interviews, resumes, and CV writing. I have helped many students enter Japanese universities, graduate schools, and companies. I am available on weekday evenings, Saturday daytime, and Sunday nights. Special requests are also welcome. Let’s enjoy speaking Japanese together and improve your skills!

Japanese teacher with a linguistics background. Helping you build confidence in Japanese Have you been studying Japanese, but still don’t feel confident speaking it? Hello! I'm Kana, a Japanese teacher who specializes in helping beginners build a strong foundation so they can communicate naturally. I majored in linguistics and have studied four foreign languages myself, so I understand that every learner has different goals, challenges, and ways of learning. As someone who is currently learning Spanish myself, I also understand both the excitement and the frustration of learning a new language. My priority is to create a relaxed and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable making mistakes. Making mistakes is a natural part of learning, and every mistake is a step toward speaking more confidently. You don't need perfect Japanese to communicate or connect with people. I want you to experience the joy of connecting with others through Japanese without worrying about making mistakes. Every lesson is personalized to match your goals, learning style, and pace. I combine clear grammar lessons with practical conversation practice to help you build a strong foundation and the confidence to use Japanese naturally. Whether you're just starting your Japanese journey, want to improve your conversation skills, or are preparing for the JLPT, I'll tailor every lesson to help you reach your goals. Let's enjoy learning Japanese together, and turn it into a language you can use with confidence. I'd love to help you achieve your Japanese goals!

If you’re looking for chill vibes and natural Japanese, you’re in the right place! わたしは にほんごきょうしの しかくを もっています。わたしの レッスンは しょきゅうしゃに いいです。 わたしも えいごを べんきょうしていますから、げんごを べんきょうすることの むずかしさが わかります。 げんごの べんきょうの ゴールは かんぺきな にほんごじゃ ありません。 げんごは コミュニケーションのためです。 わたしの じゅぎょうでは はなすきかいが たくさん あります。まちがえは いいですから、たくさん はなしましょう! I have a certificate as a Japanese teacher. My lessons are good for beginners. I’m also studying English, so I understand how difficult learning a new language can be. I believe that conversation is the most important part of learning a language. The goal is not to speak perfect Japanese. Language is for communication. In my lessons, you will have many chances to speak. It’s okay to make mistakes — let’s speak a lot and enjoy learning together!

Don’t worry about mistakes! Relax, ask questions, and speak real Japanese with confidence. 「間違えたらどうしよう」と緊張して頭が真っ白になった経験はありませんか? AIとは気軽に話せるのに、生身の人間を前にすると言葉に詰まってしまう・・・そんな悩みを持つ生徒さんが、今では自分から堂々と会話を切り出せるようになっています。 語学学習のゴールは「言いたいことが言えること」、そして「相手の話が聞けること」の2つだけです。 そのために最も大切なのは、知識の詰め込みではなく「緊張をほどき、安心して失敗できる環境(Safe Space)」です。心理学・教育学の知見を取り入れ、まるで落ち着いたカフェにいるようなリラックスした空気づくりを徹底しています。 私のレッスンでは、受け身にならず自然に言葉が出てくる「3ステップ実践アプローチ」を取り入れています。 1 - 先生の質問・リアルなフレーズを聞く(日本人が本当によく使う自然な表現をインプット) 2 - 意味を理解して丸ごと覚える(発音やイントネーションのコツも伝授) 3 - 先生に同じ質問を投げ返してみる(自分から会話をリードする練習) 会話は「質問する側」に回ることで一気に主導権を握れます。相手の返答に対する関心が高まり、記憶の定着や「話せた!」という手応えが格段に変わります。 【レッスン外の自学自習も徹底サポート】 「レッスン内だけで終わらない上達サイクル」を作るため、AIツールや音読を活用した「独り言学習」の手順や、YouTube・ポッドキャストを使った効果的なインプット法もお伝えします。自学で準備した表現を、安心できるレッスン空間でどんどん試してください。 ◆ 提供レッスン内容 ・ネイティブとのリラックス・フリートーク(質問力と会話継続力の強化) ・興味に合わせたカスタムトピック(料理・キャンプ飯、音楽、映画、アニメ、歴史など) ・初級〜中級向け基礎レッスン(文法・語彙・発音をバランスよく定着) ・JLPTピンポイント対策(過去問分析と弱点補強) ・毎回のレッスン後フィードバック(使える表現・修正点のまとめをお届け) 毎回のセッションで新しい発見があり、終わった後に「気持ちが軽くなった!」と感じていただける時間をお約束します。まずは肩の力を抜いて、お気軽にお話ししましょう!

conversation practice I have been learning English since I was a student in Japan and I know it's not easy to get better with foreign languages when you don't use them daily. I will help you with Japanese conversation by letting you know when you use incorrect Japanese. For your practice, I would like to listen to you more than me speaking and try my best to see you enjoying using Japanese.

My mother-tongue is Korean. But I've learned English, Japanese and Chinese. So I truly understand how difficult learning languages is. I'm very positive, patient and enthusiastic. And I prepare each lesson only for A student. For example, if a student has a tendency to make mistakes using the present perfect, I usually prepare more focused lessons that he or she can repeatedly practice using the present perfect. I believe you could learn more through the mistakes that you make. And I will be there for you to correct or coach whenever you need it. You are going to be very very proud of yourself in the end. Let's have fun learning!!
