Shu
Certified teacher who has 3 certifications on Japanese education: 2 exams and 420 hours of training #Everyone learns through mistakes My motto of teaching is "Don't make students hesitate to make mistake". I also make tons of mistakes when I am taking foreign language class. I will try to create warm and relaxed atmosphere in class so that you can be relaxed and talk spontaneously. #Please ask me questions literally ANYTIME! I’m always looking to grow as a teacher. So even questions outside of class are more than welcome! Sometimes a simple question from a student sparks a new insight and leads me to a deeper understanding of Japanese😇

Are you looking for a teacher like a friend? I'm perfect for you:) I have been teaching here since September 2021. In order to get better at speaking foreign languages, it is important to input and speak in that target language, right? In my lessons, I always make an effort that you can talk a lot whatever you like and are interested in, and according to the situation I will provide you phrases and words. Let's try to increase your vocabulary little by little. I know it takes time and effort to become what and where we really want to be. But we got this! I'm here for you:) 私は2021年9月からItalkiで日本語を教えています。 言語を習得する上で大切なのは、インプットしてたくさん話すことですね。私のレッスンでは生徒さんがたくさん話せるようにします。状況に合わせて使えるフレーズや単語をお伝えします。一緒に日本語を話す練習をして使える言葉を増やしていきましょう。 目標を達成するためには時間と努力が必要ですが、一緒に頑張りましょう!

Issei
Certified Japanese Language Teacher with over 12 years of experience I have always been interested in teaching and my first part time job after graduating from high school was an English teacher at a cram school. Since then, I fell in love with learning with the students through teaching and cultivating curiosities and experiencing the joy of discovering. I am studying to become a professor/researcher at a university now. So my passion for teaching has always existed and I am pleasantly surprised by students in lessons because I learn a lot from them as much as they (hopefully) learn from me. Perhaps, this YouTube clip I recently made makes it more clear about my cheerful and talkative characters. https://youtu.be/g-saEIGeQzA

MAMORU MS
My first priority is students' interests and purposes of taking lessons. I'm here to help you attain your goals no matter what they are. I usually take students from intermediate to advanced level speakers since I'm a community tutor who don't have a structured series of courses with textbooks. For completely beginners and those who are younger than 18, I recommend to consider taking lessons with other professional tutors. My classes will also be good for those who are planning to visit Japan since I can provide lots of useful information of sightseeing spots, cultural perspectives and useful greetings/phrases/words as a traveler. 日本の文化や日本に来たときに役に立つあいさつやフレーズを教えることもできます。

I have unofficially taught Japanese for two years, and self-taught English for four years so I know that it's difficult to make progress in a language without some outside help and so I'm here to be your support. By talking to a native speaker, you will be able to improve your Japanese. Many people have told me that I am quite easy to talk to, so I'm also hoping that we can be friends.

I have started teaching as a teaching assistant in Japanese classes when I was going to college. For the last 20 years, I've been helping new employees to get adjusted to their lives in Japan. Teaching basic Japanese was one of the support I was providing. I have helped my friends to pass JLPT. I have also supported foreign tourists as a volunteer guide in Tokyo, Osaka and Hiroshima. Therefore, I am confident that I can support beginner level students well. I love seeing their smiles when they were able to use the language that they learned with locals. That’s the best thing when you are learning a new language. We will talk a lot in my class. That's the best way to gain confidence.

Haru
Multilingual | 10+ Years,12,000+ Hours Teaching Experience | Tailored Lessons for Professionals |懂中文 In every session, I strive to follow the approach of "teaching a man to fish for a lifetime instead of giving him a fish for a day," fostering independent learning and long-term skill development. This approach is inspired by my experiences of learning foreign languages while living in cities like Beijing, Kaohsiung, Bangkok, Istanbul, and Vientiane, which helped me understand the challenges of language acquisition. I am committed to helping you enrich your career and personal life through learning Japanese. Most of my students have regular weekly slots, so my availability is limited. However, feel free to contact me to discuss your preferred time, and I will do my best to accommodate you.
