Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

Build natural Japanese! Native Teacher | 9+ Yrs Exp | English/Español OK Hi there! I’m a native Japanese teacher from Yokohama, dedicated to teaching students from all over the world. With over 9 years of experience and more than 3000 lessons completed, I have taught Japanese in language institutions and online to students of all ages. I am professionally trained, having completed the Advanced Japanese Teacher Training Course at The World Japanese Language Center in Australia. Before becoming a teacher, I spent 20 years working in the Japanese corporate world. This experience allows me to help you with honorifics (Keigo) and business conversation if you ever need them for your career. The most important thing to me is that our lessons are fun, friendly, and enjoyable. I focus on conversation and love to adapt each session to suit your needs and mood on the day. As a fellow language learner who has studied English and Spanish, I truly understand the challenges and the "embarrassment" one can sometimes feel. You will never feel that way with me! I strive to create a relaxed environment where we can build a great relationship. If you get stuck, I can support you with explanations in English or Spanish. I always aim to bring calm and positive energy into our lessons to make your learning experience as pleasant as possible. I look forward to meeting you!

15+ years’ experience training pronunciation, rhythm, and fluency for clear, natural speech. 1） I specialize in detailed pronunciation analysis and use targeted drills to correct pronunciation efficiently. With a sharp ear attuned to phonetic nuances, this approach helps beginner‑to‑advanced learners systematically improve their Chinese pronunciation and speaking rhythm. 2）I adapt the material to each student’s individual needs, so you can immediately apply what you’ve learned after every lesson. Grammar is presented in concise, clear language, and I employ a variety of engaging activities that encourage you to speak more confidently and fluently. 3）I’m very interested in teaching Chinese characters and am dedicated to making character instruction engaging and enjoyable.

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.

Fun & Friendly Japanese Conversation Tutor | Beginner Welcome:) Hello, everyone! Thank you for visiting my profile!😊 Nice to meet you! My name is Haruka. はじめまして、はるかです！ I’m a native Japanese speaker from Tokyo, currently living in the U.S. I love talking with people from different countries and learning new perspectives through conversation. I believe language learning becomes much more enjoyable when you can “actually use it” with real people. That’s why I became a Japanese tutor on italki. I have a teaching license and majored in Education at university. I also completed practical training at both an elementary school and a junior high school, where I learned how to explain things clearly and support learners with patience. 🌿 My lessons are mainly conversation-based. We can talk about any topic you like, your daily life, hobbies, culture, travel, or anything you’re interested in. I will adjust my speaking speed and vocabulary to your level, so beginners are always welcome. If you want, I can also use textbooks or help you prepare for specific goals (travel, daily conversation, interviews, etc.). Just let me know in advance! My goal is to create a relaxed, friendly space where you can feel safe speaking Japanese—even if you make mistakes. Don’t worry about being perfect. Let’s enjoy speaking Japanese together!😊 I’m really looking forward to meeting you and becoming your “tomodachi.”

With more than ten years of teaching and coaching experience, I’ve guided learners of all ages and levels to speak confidently and naturally. I began by teaching Japanese speaking courses at the college level in the U.S., helping students move beyond textbooks and into authentic conversation. Since 2018, I’ve worked as an English coach at a private language school in Japan, where I developed deep insight into the psychology and practical needs of second language learners—especially Japanese speakers.

I do not teaching you, but do COACHING you as a native speaker and a language learner as well. A lot of people just study in solitude. But there's a huge gap between studying alone and actually speaking to a native speaker or somebody else. I consider myself is a friendly and patient coach (not a teacher^^), always trying to encourage learners to speak and practice more. Language is a skill, every skill is acquired through practice instead of other's TOO MUCH explanation. And now, I'm here ready to support & assist your study!
