🎓Certified Japanese teacher with a Master’s in Japanese Language Education | 1500+ online lessons | I hold a Master’s degree in Japanese Language Education, specializing in Second Language Acquisition. My research focused on how international students improve their speaking skills and how their social networks during study abroad influence language development. During graduate school, I completed a teaching practicum at a Japanese university and gained experience as a volunteer teacher in local communities and as a teaching assistant in university classes. I have taught learners from various countries and proficiency levels—from complete beginners to advanced—and have conducted over 1500 online lessons. I also hold Japan’s national certification for Japanese language teachers.
Certified N1 Japanese Teacher with +3 years of experience "Have you ever studied Japanese for years, only to freeze when a native speaker talks? That's the wall I help you break. I'm David, a Japanese teacher in Tokyo. I'm from Venezuela, and I learned Japanese from zero — by living it, not by memorizing textbooks. I know exactly what you're going through, because I went through it myself. Most classes teach you grammar from textbooks. My lessons are full immersion: we use real Japanese from the very first class — conversations, anime, drama, the language you'll actually hear in Japan. I slow it down, break it into pieces, and every lesson ends with an Anki deck so what you learn stays with you. I also teach Spanish — I'm a native speaker, and I can explain everything in English or Japanese. Book a trial lesson: in 30 minutes, you'll hear Japanese differently.

6年間の講師経験をもつフランス在住講師 I focus on speaking practice, not grammar teaching. My lessons are for students who want to use Japanese in a natural way. I change the speed and words depending on your level and goals. I am learning French, so I know the feeling of “I want to say something, but I don’t have the words”. In my lessons, you can speak without fear of mistakes. 私は文法を一から教えるのではなく、会話を中心に日本語を使う練習をしています。生徒さんのレベルや目的に合わせて、話すスピードや語彙を変えます。 アートや文化をきっかけに会話を広げることが多いです。私自身もフランス語を学んでいて、「言いたいのに言えない」という気持ちを知っています。だから、安心して間違えられる環境を大切にしています。

Let's have conversations about topics you're interested in to improve your Japanese! Through my past experiences I've met a lot of lovely people from all over the world and the one thing that stuck out to me the most was the opinion about how difficult Japanese is to learn as a second language. I've decided to take to italki so I may reach more potential friends around the world and converse in this beautiful language! I'm so excited to use the new methods of teaching I learnt in practice in our learning together! I'm so looking forward to meeting you all and being your tomodachi 👫
