Native Japanese 🇯🇵 | KR/EN OK 🌿 Practical Japanese for Work & Daily Life 🌸일본에서 태어나 자란 일본어 원어민으로, 현재는 한국에 거주하고 있습니다. 외국계 기업에서 IT 엔지니어 및 트레이너로 15년 이상 근무하며 다양한 실무 경험을 쌓았습니다. 저 또한 열정적인 학습자로서 2024년에 한국어 공부를 시작하여 약 9개월 만에 TOPIK 5급을 취득했습니다. 학습자의 어려움과 고민을 깊이 이해하며, 편안하게 말할 수 있는 수업을 중요하게 생각합니다. 😊 수업에서는 단순한 ‘프리토킹’을 넘어서 교재(GENKI, 마루고토)와 다양한 자료를 활용하여 실제로 사용할 수 있는 일본어를 연습합니다. 여러분의 학습 속도에 맞춰 천천히 또렷하게 진행합니다. 편안한 대화 속에서 일본어 자신감을 함께 키워 나가요 🌿 I am a native Japanese speaker who was born and raised in Japan and currently lives in South Korea. I have over 15 years of experience working as an IT engineer and corporate training instructor at an international company. I began learning Korean in 2024 and earned a TOPIK Level 5 certification in about nine months. I understand the challenges learners face and am committed to creating a relaxed learning environment 😊 My lessons go beyond simple conversation practice. Using textbooks (such as “GENKI” and “Marugoto”) and a variety of other materials, I’ll support you in practicing practical, real-world Japanese at your own pace. Let’s build your confidence in Japanese together through relaxed conversation 🌿

All level students are welcome😊✨ ※Due to health reasons, I will be taking a short break from evening lessons during June. Thank you for your understanding, and I apologize for any inconvenience. I used to work for a Japanese airline company as a cabin crew/ flight attendant for 5 years and work for an international tech company and a recruiting company based in Japan as an office worker for 3 years. When I wanted to be a cabin crew, I have learned English on Skype with a Filipino teacher from beginner level. As a result I passed the interview and traveled all over the world:) So I believe online fun conversation lessons make your dream come true. Never give up yourself, let's enjoy Japanese learning! ☆Currently teaching Japanese and service management at a junior college. ☆Certified Japanese language teacher. ☆Providing lessons on italki since 2021. ☆In Grammar & Conversation lessons, we start by setting a "Can-do" goal. You'll learn new vocabulary first. Then, we'll look at pictures or listen to situations and think together about how to respond in Japanese. You'll learn new grammar points and practice using them in different contexts. We always finish with a fun activity to reinforce what you've learned. ☆In Free Talk lessons, we can talk about anything. These lessons are a great way to build your vocabulary and increase your speaking confidence through enjoyable conversations. ☆For JLPT lessons, we use the official JLPT practice books. Please make sure to have the textbook ready before the lesson.

20+ Years of Teaching Experience, with Japanese Cultural background, Conversation, JLPT, Kids & more I have experience in teaching Japanese for more than 20 years, having started in Japan, then in Austria, UK, the Netherlands and in China. I have taught from small children to adults, in various institutes from language schools to High schools. I can explain the logic of grammars in a simple way so that you can understand it well. Moreover, I love communicating with people and love to see my students improve with their language skills as to talk more about themselves to me. I myself also love learning languages. I speak English and Dutch fluently. German, Chinese, Spanish and French are on the way. Thus, I don't forget the beginner's mind. Language is the tool of communication!

What would you say when you ate food that you found delicious and yummy? When expressing words, it differs for each person. When I was learning a second language, I felt I had a different personality because I wasn’t confident compared to when I spoke Japanese. It upset me a lot because I didn’t know much vocabulary so I couldn't choose the word that suits my personality. That's why I want to help you! Not only with polite Japanese but also with the word choices that express your personality. Being able to be yourself when you speak Japanese should enrich your Japanese Life✨

I'm accepting new students! I have extensive experience teaching. I've taught English for about ten years and Japanese for three years in a group lessons, one on one and online. I adjust lessons for each of you and your level of Japanese skills. I use some textbooks or an original material that I make and I will send you on each lessons. I will prepare your homework or extra worksheets if you need. I'll lead you and encourage Japanese conversation throughout the lessons. I want my students always be comfortable with me during my lessons so if you have any questions, feel free to ask me anything anytime.

Japanese for Kids & Adults | Conversation and JLPT Support Hello! I’m a native Japanese teacher with 10 years of experience in language education. I previously owned and operated an English school for children, which has given me deep insights into how young learners acquire a second language. In my lessons, I specialize in supporting children and beginners so they can speak with confidence. For Kids: Fun lessons using anime, games, and music! For Beginners/JLPT: Step-by-step guidance tailored to your goals. Conversation: Natural pronunciation and practical phrases. I believe that making mistakes is the best way to learn. Let’s start your Japanese journey in a relaxed and supportive environment!

I’ve taught English at a Japanese cram school for junior and senior high school students for 2 years, and worked in childcare where I encouraged young learners to use English in daily activities. I also volunteered to teach English at a local kindergarten. These experiences taught me how to be patient, adaptable, and creative in my teaching — skills that are just as important for adult learners as for children. Combined with my nursing background, I’m good at listening carefully and making students feel comfortable and supported. My goal is to create a relaxed space where you can speak freely, make mistakes, and learn natural, everyday Japanese without feeling pressured.

I love the Japanese language.
