Professional Japanese Teacher | 8+ yrs exp | Genki books, JLPT, Travel, Free Conversation | Eng ok! I'm Sakura, a professional Japanese teacher from Okinawa. I specialize in conversation practice for learners of all levels and also offer JLPT preparation. My lessons focus on helping students naturally use Japanese in real conversations while building a solid foundation in grammar and vocabulary 📚 I’m from Okinawa, a beautiful island in southern Japan known for its unique culture, language, and peaceful lifestyle. I love traveling and have visited over 20 countries. I really like exploring different cultures and talking with people from all over the world. I'd be thrilled to share our cultures 😊 At university, I majored in English and studied English and Japanese language education. I later earned a master’s degree in Japanese language pedagogy from the University of Hawaii. I’ve taught Japanese to beginner-to-advanced learners at language schools in Okinawa, in conversation, grammar, reading, writing, and JLPT preparation. I also worked as a Japanese TA at universities in the US and Hungary. Through these experiences, I value respecting each learner's background and goals and creating a comfortable atmosphere where they feel confident speaking Japanese! My online lessons offer 4 courses: Daily Conversation, JLPT Prep, Travel Conversation, and Free Conversation. You can choose a course based on your goals and level. I’ll flexibly adjust the content and pace to meet your needs. I'd be happy to help you with your Japanese studies. Let's have fun learning together 🇯🇵✨

日本企業で多くの外国人と仕事をしてきた元エンジニアが日本語を教えます こんにちは、Jun.K(きたむら じゅん)です。埼玉県で生まれ、千葉県で育ち、現在は神奈川県厚木市に住んでいます。家族は妻と二人の息子がいます。私は長年、日本の半導体企業でエンジニアとして働いてきましたので、日本の会社の雰囲気や働き方についてよく知っています。また、3年間ほど中国の杭州に駐在した経験があり、海外の技術者や顧客と英語や少しの中国語を使ってコミュニケーションを取ってきました。英語はビジネスレベルで使うことができ、異文化コミュニケーションにも自信があります。2026年8月からは、東京の日本語学校で非常勤講師として、初級から中上級クラスまで幅広いレベルの授業を担当しています。 趣味はゴルフとギターです。ゴルフは3年前に始めてからすっかり夢中になり、毎週レッスンに通っています。ベストスコアは95です。ギターは中学生の頃からアコースティックギターを弾いていて、コードを見ればすぐに演奏できます。以前は友人とバンドを組み、エレキベースで日本のポップスを演奏していました。最近はエレキギターにも挑戦しています。また、日本の武道である合気道も始めてみました。さらに、会社の仮装大会では自作の衣装でバズライトイヤーやレゴ人形に扮し、2回優勝したこともあります。 これまで多くの海外エンジニアや顧客と協力し、難しい技術内容を相手の理解度に合わせて「ギアチェンジ」しながら、わかりやすく説明することを心がけてきました。この経験は日本語レッスンにも活かせると考えています。私は国家資格「登録日本語教員」を持っており、質の高い日本語レッスンを提供できます。「介護の日本語の教え方」も勉強したので、介護分野にも強みがあります。そして日本語学校での対面授業の経験を、オンラインレッスンにも活かしています。 私のレッスンは、わかりやすくて楽しいことを大切にしています。主なレッスン内容は次の4つです。 1.初級者向け総合レッスン:ひらがな・カタカナを習得したばかりの方に「みんなの日本語初級」を使って会話中心の授業を行い、JLPT N5やN4を目指す方をサポートします。 2.ビジネスや技術の日本語:日本の会社で働きたい方に向けて、職場でよく使う日本語や最新のIT・半導体技術の話題、入社面接対策なども行います。 3.介護の日本語レッスン:介護福祉士を目指す方に専門用語や漢字、現場での声掛け、報告書の書き方、試験対策などを指導します。 4.生活のための日本語レッスン:買い物や電車の利用、コンビニでの荷物の送り方など、日本での生活に役立つ日本語を学びます。 5.趣味やフリートーク:ゴルフやギター、合気道、日本文化について楽しく会話しましょう。 レッスンは基本的に日本語で進めますが、初級者の方には英語や簡単な中国語でサポートすることも可能です。教材は「みんなの日本語初級」やオンライン教材、私の自作教材を使いますが、ご希望の教科書があればご相談ください。日本の会社や技術、介護分野、日本での生活や文化に興味がある方、ぜひ一緒に楽しく日本語を学びましょう!

For online lessons, I usually teach students from eight-year-old to adults. There's nothing like seeing my students getting excited about learning Japanese in my class.

    独学でJLPT N1に合格した後、次はどうやってネイティブレベルに近づいていけばいいのか相談したくて、こうすけ先生を選びました。 最初のレッスンでは、一緒に自分の改善点や癖を見つけ、今後のレッスンプランを立てていただきました。また、レッスンプランに沿って進めるだけでなく、日本での日々の生活の中で感じた疑問や、日本語についての質問にも柔軟に答えていただいています。 毎回楽しく話しながら、自分でも少しずつ「ネイティブレベル」という大きな目標に近づいていると感じています。 初心者だけではなく、すでにN2やN1レベルの上級日本語を身につけている方にも、こうすけ先生のレッスンをおすすめします!

    As always, we started our lesson with conversation practice. Yukie-sensei is so helpful when I’m trying to form sentences correctly. She also takes notes on our conversations and sends them after each lesson, which is really useful for reviewing! Today, she used drawings to explain the difference between に (ni) and へ (e), which made it so much easier to understand. I really appreciate the care she puts into her explanations and how she makes grammar practice fun and engaging.

    先生の親しみやすさとプロ意識がとても好きです!いつもリラックスした雰囲気で、文章の修正やネイティブらしい自然なニュアンスを教えてくださいます。 レッスンでは日本語のちょっとしたコツだけでなく、日本人の思考パターンに合わせた文章の書き方や、相手に伝わりやすいコミュニケーションの方法まで学べます。 単に日本語を鍛えるだけでなく、「自分が本当に伝えたいことは何なのか」を深く理解し、その中から重要なポイントを絞り込んで相手に伝えるプロセスを学べました。 自分の考えをどうすれば効果的に伝えられるかを知ることができ、語学の学習以上にとても大切な学びが得られる素晴らしいレッスンです!

  • Dylan L

    Learning Japanese

    Today was my 50th lesson with Kurumi-Sensei! It's been really helpful that she's so consistent that I've been able to form a habit of chatting with her and studying together twice a week. Being able to chat with her about everyday things gives me a lot of chances and experience to become more accustomed to hearing and using the exact everyday type of words and grammar structures that I'd want to use instead of just rote memorizing pre-approved standard expressions. Then when we have less to talk about, or are otherwise done with a chat, we progress to studying from the textbook where I can get more concentrated practice on how to use different grammar structures and how to phrase different types of ideas that I may have just been struggling to convey in conversation. It's a really helpful balance and I feel much more confident stumbling my way through practicing speaking, with Kurumi-Sensei's encouragement. いつも本当にありがとうございます!これからもよろしくお願いします!

    Happy 100th lesson! I've never regretted a single lesson with Shoko-sensei. I've learned so much. I'm not farther along due to my own lack of studying, but I love our weekly/biweekly sessions and I always leave feeling confident in what I just learned. Her explanations are incredible and adaptable. Here's to 100 more - and by then maybe I will write in all Japanese!!!

    Learning Japanese

    I've been taking lessons with Hana for a long time now, and these days each lesson feels like catching up with an old friend. What sets her apart is that she makes an effort to get to know her students, and her encouragement goes well beyond Japanese. She has a real talent for noticing strengths in her students that they haven't noticed in themselves, and for nurturing them. Over our time together she's helped me come out of my shell and pursue things I wouldn't have had the confidence to try before. She's not someone who hands out empty praise, so when she tells you you're good at something, you believe it. The teachers you remember most are the ones who don't just teach. They become mentors whose lessons go beyond the subject itself. Hana is one of those teachers, and I can't thank her enough. She's patient, adapts to how you learn, and makes it safe to struggle with the hard parts. If you're looking for a teacher who will genuinely invest in you, I can't recommend her enough.

Frequently asked questions about online Japanese classes

Do I need a tutor to learn Japanese?

You can learn Japanese without a tutor using free apps, textbooks, and online videos, but it usually takes much longer. Self-study often lacks real speaking practice, immediate feedback, and clear guidance, which makes it harder to stay motivated and progress confidently.Hiring a Japanese language tutor is worth it because they provide personalised lessons, real-time correction on pronunciation and grammar, and structured learning designed around your goals, whether that’s everyday conversation, business Japanese, or passing the JLPT exam.

While it’s possible to learn without platforms like italki, doing so often feels overwhelming and slow because you don’t have a clear learning path or someone to hold you accountable. Combining private Japanese lessons from an online Japanese tutor with extra resources like kanji apps, flashcards, and podcasts gives you the best of both worlds, professional guidance to learn correctly and extra practice to accelerate your progress.

How much does a Japanese tutor cost per session?

Online Japanese lessons typically range from $15 to $60 per hour, depending on the tutor’s experience and lesson format. Many learners choose private Japanese tutors because they provide personalized guidance, instant correction, and real conversation practice that help them progress faster than studying alone.

On italki, you have access to both community and professional tutors, making it easy to find a Japanese teacher that matches your goals and budget. A 30-minute Japanese lesson typically costs between $3 and $10.

How quickly will I become fluent with a Japanese teacher?

Fluency in Japanese depends on your study habits, consistency, and starting level, but working with a Japanese teacher can significantly speed up your progress. Experts estimate that reaching professional working proficiency in Japanese takes about 2,200 hours of study. That said, you don’t need that much time to start speaking. Most learners reach a conversational level after 400–600 hours, which often means 6–12 months of regular tutoring.

Lessons are tailored to your needs, you receive hands-on guidance, and you practice real conversation in every session.This focused approach to Japanese teaching helps you stay consistent, motivated, and moves you toward higher levels of fluency.

Why should I use a Japanese language tutor to learn Japanese with italki?

Using a Japanese language tutor on italki helps you learn the Japanese you’ll actually use, not just textbook phrases, by focusing on real conversations, common expressions, and situations you encounter in daily life.

Your private Japanese tutor can help you practice conversation, review grammar, prepare for exams like the JLPT, or build confidence in speaking, with lessons customized to your level and pace. They correct mistakes on the spot, suggest natural ways to phrase things, and explain cultural context, so you communicate appropriately in any situation.

All lessons are available anytime online, and most operate on a pay-as-you-go system, so you only pay for the private Japanese lessons you take. For learners looking for extra support, italki Plus also offers an optional subscription with features like AI-powered study tools, exclusive events, and discounts.

How do italki's online Japanese classes work?

italki’s online Japanese classes are simple, flexible, and personalized. Here’s how they work:

  • 📝 Create an account – Sign up on italki and start browsing hundreds of qualified Japanese tutors with detailed profiles showing their teaching style, experience, and student reviews.
  • 🔍 Find a tutor – Choose a tutor that fits your goals and schedule, filtering by price, availability, specialization, or tutor type. Many tutors offer trial lessons to help you find the right match.
  • 💻 Book and attend lessons – Meet your private Japanese tutor via italki’s video platform. Your tutor will assess your level, discuss objectives, and tailor lessons to your needs.
  • 📚 Practice between lessons – Tutors often provide extra resources or conversation practice to help you progress.
  • ⏱️ Learn at your own pace – Lessons are fully flexible and can be scheduled daily, weekly, or as often as you like, allowing you to maintain consistent practice and make steady progress in learning Japanese online.

How often should I meet with an online Japanese tutor?

How often you meet with an online Japanese tutor depends on your goals, schedule, and current level. Beginners often benefit from 2–3 online Japanese lessons per week to build consistency, practice speaking, and reinforce new grammar and vocabulary. Intermediate and advanced learners may have 1–2 online Japanese lessons per week for focused practice, exam preparation, or conversation skills.

Consistency is key. Short, regular lessons are usually more effective than longer, infrequent sessions. Your learning style also matters: some students do well with more intensive lessons, while others prefer a slower, steady pace. A private Japanese tutor can help you design a schedule that fits your lifestyle, and lessons can be adjusted as your goals evolve.

Do italki's Japanese tutors offer free online Japanese lessons?

While italki Japanese tutors don’t offer completely free lessons, many provide trial lessons at a heavily discounted rate. Each student can book up to three trial lessons (one per tutor), giving you the chance to experience different Japanese teaching styles before committing. These trial lessons let you try a Japanese lesson online, assess the tutor’s approach, discuss your goals, and see if their style suits you. It’s a low-risk way to find the right Japanese teacher for your needs.

Do I need a basic understanding of the Japanese language before I can take Japanese classes with italki?

No. You don’t need any previous knowledge to start learning Japanese on italki. The platform has many Japanese tutors for beginners who specialize in teaching students with no prior knowledge of Japanese. These tutors understand the challenges of starting from scratch and know how to make the language approachable from day one.

Finding a Japanese tutor for beginners is simple. When browsing tutor profiles, filter by specialization (such as “beginners”), watch introduction videos, and read reviews from other students.

Starting as a complete beginner can even be an advantage, since your Japanese instructor will guide you toward good pronunciation and grammar habits from the very beginning.

What is the difference between an italki Community tutor vs. Professional tutor?

The main difference between an italki community tutor and a professional tutor lies in their qualifications, teaching style, and focus.Professional tutors are certified teachers with formal training. They offer structured lessons with prepared materials, covering grammar, vocabulary, and exam prep. They provide study resources and detailed feedback during online Japanese lessons, making them ideal for beginners or students seeking systematic learning.

Community tutors, on the other hand, are native or fluent speakers without formal teaching credentials. They focus on conversational practice, helping learners build fluency and confidence in a flexible, informal, and often more budget-friendly way.Many learners use both: professional Japanese tutors for foundational skills and community Japanese tutors for speaking practice.

What are the benefits of private online Japanese lessons?

Private online Japanese lessons with a dedicated Japanese language instructor make learning faster, easier, and more enjoyable than group classes or self-study. Your lessons are customized to your level, goals, and interests, be it mastering kanji, improving pronunciation, preparing for the JLPT, or speaking confidently in daily conversation.

This personalized Japanese tuition speeds up learning because your tutor adapts the pace and teaching style to suit how you learn best. You can ask questions freely, revisit difficult concepts, and spend extra time on areas that need the most attention without holding back other students.

Plus, private online Japanese lessons are convenient and adaptable. You can access qualified Japanese tutors from anywhere, often at rates lower than a local in-person instructor. This kind of Japanese tutoring helps you make real progress and use the language confidently.
