🏆 JLPT & Conversation | ~20 Years of Professional Experience | 99% Japanese — No English Needed! Hi Lessons taught 99% in Japanese — really, it is completely fine without English! Why not challenge yourself to speak strictly in Japanese for just 30 minutes a week? I am professionally trained to teach Japanese in Japanese, using illustrations, gestures, and simple words you already know. In just a few interactions, I can pinpoint the exact level of Japanese you understand. Can you say "tabemasu" (eat) or "ikimasu" (go)? That is more than enough. If you know basic verbs, we can communicate 99% in Japanese. With around 20 years of experience, I know how to guide you smoothly. What about the remaining 1%? If you get stuck, a translation app resolves it in seconds — problem solved, and class goes on! My English? Work in progress. 😅 Your Japanese? Same! That is why we make the best team — Japanese alone is all you need. Preparing for the JLPT? That is my specialty and most booked lesson (100+ conducted!). From N5 grammar to N1 reading strategies, let’s build a plan to pass. I also speak Korean! I passed TOPIK Level 6 twice (equivalent to JLPT N1). Surprisingly, my speaking is actually intermediate. Why did I pass? As an instructor, I know test techniques. 😮 But I also put in massive effort! 😁 I fully understand the frustration of learning a language and memorizing grammar rules. That is why I can support your goal to speak Japanese. I look forward to speaking Japanese with you in class! 한국인 여러분, 부담 없이 찾아와 주세요! 한국어 사용 여부는 원하시는 대로 결정합니다. 🤗 한자어의 공통점을 활용해 효율적으로 지도해 드립니다.

GENKI／Travel Japanese／Japanese Study Coaching (Build a Daily Study Habit)✏️ Hi, I'm Kanako! I'm a professional Japanese teacher based in Tokyo, and I've been teaching Japanese since 2020. Before becoming a teacher, I lived in Canada for three years for study and work. Outside of teaching, I enjoy traveling around Japan, discovering local food, trying new recipes, and baking. If you love Japan, Japanese food, or travel, I'm sure we'll have plenty to talk about! In my lessons, I create a relaxed and supportive environment where you can learn at your own pace. I don't rush my students, and I enjoy getting to know them personally. My lessons usually start with free conversation and a quick review of homework or a quiz. Then, we'll learn new grammar and practice using it in conversation. I encourage you to think for yourself and give hints when needed, while providing lesson notes and support along the way. Many of my students have continued studying with me for years. They often describe me as patient, friendly, and easy to talk to. You may notice that some of my reviews are older. I took some time away from italki during maternity leave and focused on teaching outside the platform. I'm now gradually reopening my schedule and accepting a limited number of students again. If you're looking for a patient and supportive teacher who will respect your pace while gently guiding you toward your goals, I'd love to meet you! I look forward to seeing you in class!

I have taught at Japanese language school for 8+ years. Before working as a teacher, I had taught Japanese to foreigners as a volunteer. I have studied abroad in Canada, therefore I understand how difficult it is to learn a foreign language. Based on these my experiences, I think of what student's needs and wants are and support them in my lessons. I've been teaching Japanese 10,000+ lessons to over 500 people so I have the knowledge to teach students at various levels. If you tell me what you want to study about Japanese before the lessons, I will prepare for it. Each student has different level and different characteristic, so I will custom the lessons for each student. My lessons are... ◎ General Japanese class ◎ Kids Japanese class ◎ Conversation class ◎ JLPT Class (N5-N2) and more!

I also have the newly established national license to teach Japanese. I also work on JLPT analysis. I provide online Japanese lessons and also teach at a Japanese language school. I tailor my lessons to each learner’s level. I have experience creating JLPT test-preparation textbooks and hold the Registered Japanese Language Teacher license, the national certification issued by Japan’s Ministry of Education. I am also familiar with Japanese used in the travel and tourism industry. I believe vocabulary, grammar, and expressive ability are essential—and enjoying the learning process is just as important. I look forward to teaching Japanese actively and engagingly.

Friendly teacher and experienced proofreader I have completed the Japanese Teacher Training course (420 hours).

I started teaching Japanese at language school in Osaka in 2008. There, I gained experience of teaching Japanese to foreign students from all over the world.

Japanese language skills; 5+ years of experience as a Korean instructor; It's been about 5 year since I taught at Italki.
