Improve your Japanese at your own pace while having fun with a traveling Japanese teacher! I am a native Japanese speaker and I had been studying to become a qualified Japanese teacher for four years in the university. I had worked at an automobile-related company for 12 years, so I can help you with business Japanese and polite expressions as well. I can speak English and Korean. But it has been a while since I studied them , so I am not very fluent now. This could be a disadvantage for you, but I think it will be also an advantage to study Japanese. Don't worry if you are not good at speaking. My lesson's atmosphere is very relaxing, so please don’t be afraid of making mistakes! I'm looking forward to supporting you can enjoy speaking Japanese ✨

An enthusiastic and friendly Japanese tutor with 7 years of teaching experience. I've been teaching Japanese on Shanghai online language school since 2019. I really love teaching Japanese, and passionate about helping my students to reach their goals with Japanese. During my these few years teaching experiences, I have had the opportunity to teach all levels of students from young learners all the way up to university level and business professionals. I would love to know about you and your culture through the conversation. It would be my pleasure if I can help your Japanese sounding more natural. And I will do my best to make you feel more comfortable and have confidence to speak Japanese. 我从2019年开始在上海的语言网校教日语。我有教过不同年龄与背景的朋友们。 过来我的教室,体验轻松愉快地课程吧!

Shi Sensei⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Teach in🇯🇵🇺🇸🇭🇰Speaking, Listening, Conversations, Genki textbooks, JLPT, Anime. 20yrs EXP FAQ: 1) WHAT KIND OF TEACHER ARE YOU? 🤔 Students often say "Sensei is nice "BUT""... 「やさしいんです が。。。 きびしい - straight , 個性的 - unique styles , 推動力 - motivative , 早い - fast in solution , 頭がいい - smart , バランスが取れてる - Balance in Class & HW, 強く知識や文化の交換を感じる - Strong interactions in Culture and Intellectual Exchange , クラスの後疲れる、楽しく思い出す - feel tried and fun after class.」と言ってるよ! 2) HOW LONG TO TAKE TO BE FLUENT in Japanese? - Language takes time to master. Frequently focused sessions leads to far better results than sporadic study without direction. For example, studying 2 hours a week yields much more progress than 1 hour. I'll guide you through both self-study and one-on-one approaches!

I'm looking for new students =) Why don't you learn with me together? I have learned how to teach Japanese through the correspondence course of the 420 hours. And I have already been teaching Japanese for about ten years. As mentioned in 'About Me', I am not a typical type of Japanese person, rather, I would like to train my student indepent or be able to get through any issue by themselves. Some of my friends tell me that I am approachable. So you can feel free to give me any kind of question or request. I have student who is struggled with Dyslexia. Nowadays, such problem is very common. So I welcome such student as well=) Learning language is fun and rewarding but also sometimes challeging to continue without let up. Let's enjoy it with me!!

Kara
Trained&qualified from a uni in🇦🇺 Not only know🇬🇧 but also know how to teach🇯🇵 to 🇬🇧speakers I am a professional Japanese teacher and have been teaching with italki since 2013. I can assist absolute beginner to highly advanced level students (including N5-N1 preparation), who are willing to manage aspects of their own learning. Thanks to many of my students, I have been become one of the most experienced Japanese teachers at italki. I use PPT and Word documents to explain grammar points, etc. in English. My native tongue is Japanese, but I am trained and qualified to teach in Australia and I am more comfortable to explain Japanese in English. This may be more advantageous for English speakers. I may use less to no English for advanced students.

Yoshi Shimizu
Native Japanese, fluent in English. Great communication skills and international cultural knowledge. I first got involved in teaching Japanese as a conversation tutor when I was at the university in San Francisco, USA. Since then, I love working with people from different cultural backgrounds. This is also one of the reasons why I became a documentary photographer. I have visited over 90 countries to document different cultures and people. For the joy of teaching, I have also taught photography at workshops. Teaching requires a great deal of patience and communication artistry which also apply to become a good photographer as well. In general, it is truly rewarding to see my students succeed in learning skills.

Takeshi Spada
Entertaining Japanese! I've been professionally teaching Japanese for about three years. My specialties are casual Japanese and teaching phrases that only native speakers use! I help my students avoid directly translating things, as this often results in creating unnatural expressions (E.g When we hang out and friends look a bit bored, we don't say "Are you bored? We say "Do you wanna do something different? (何か違うことする?)in Japanese). Also, I break down common formal Japanese expressions and explain how you can make casual phrases with them. So that you can see the difference and pick proper expressions when you speak or write!

Enjoy speaking Japanese! Japanese is FUN!! (See Youtube @chiekoosugi233) I've got many years of experience. My first experience was in the Philippines. I was a volunteer sent by the Japanese government and taught at the Foreign Service Institute of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. My students at that time were all adults mainly government officials. After that I went to New Zealand to continue teaching Japanese at a university and also secondary schools. Upon returning to Japan, I taught English to the young Japanese volunteers who were going out to some developing countries for their tasks. Aside from the many years of teaching experiences, my knowledge of multiple languages helps understand the students' psychology and I can help them effectively.
