Scratch to Advanced, Teach in 🇬🇧, 🇰🇷, 🇯🇵, 24yrs EXP, 53,000 hrs offline and 20,300 hrs online ⭐ Tailored Japanese Lessons in English, Korean, or Basic Spanish/Italian ⭐ Comprehensive Support to Build a Strong Foundation for Mastery. I'm a native Japanese speaker from Nagano in Japan, who is currently living in South Korea. I had moved around a lot in my childhood. This enabled me to acquire not only standard Japanese but also several Japanese dialects. After traveling in Asia and Africa, I realized there are so many languages and cultures in this world. Since then, I have become a language enthusiast. Thus far, I have learned several languages, and this has helped me conduct easy-to-understand and customized classes for students with diverse language backgrounds.

"The time for action is now. It's never too late to do something." Antoine de Saint Exupéry <English>***日本語下にあります I have struggled enough before being able to communicate fluently with English speakers! So I understand how you can learn and practice different languages while you are enjoying the process of learning. Besides being able to speak English, understanding and embodying different cultures are a whole another level. However, I have been exposed to people with different cultures and taken leadership in a global environment as a professional. I am very confident of teaching Japanese in English and vise versa. <日本語> 英語で流暢に意思疎通ができるまで本当に苦労しました。なので異なる言語をどのように勉強し練習しつつ、学ぶ過程の楽しさも身をもって感じています。英語で話せること以上に、違う文化を理解し体現することはとても難しいですが、グローバルな環境に触れ、リーダーシップの経験を活かし自信をもって英語と日本語の授業をお教えいたします。

Speak Japanese confidently with an experienced business professional. Born and raised in Japan, I’ve spent over 20 years thriving in global corporate environments, which has allowed me to embrace a broad, open-minded perspective. While I understand and appreciate Japan’s unique culture, I value a multifaceted approach that goes beyond traditional boundaries. This mindset has shaped the way I communicate, blending flexibility with cultural understanding. As a language tutor, I prioritize communication over perfection, focusing on real-world practice and meaningful conversations. I help you use Japanese for genuine interaction, building fluency and confidence through practical use.

I believe that the easy point and difficult point in learning Japanese through teaching Japanese to many foreigners living in Japan. However, I’ll make you understand the complex part using the secret way that I got from my experiences. In learning languages, I think it’s essential to enjoy using them and like their culture. Therefore, I’ll give you a class proving both of them. Also, it’s important to make a mistake to speak new languages, don’t be afraid of it, and keep using Japanese! 多くの日本在住の外国人に日本語を教えてきて、日本語の簡単なところと難しい所を理解しているつもりです。しかしながら、今までの経験で得た独自の方法で難しい所を理解させるように努めます。私個人としては言語を学ぶにおいて大切なことはその言葉を使うことを楽しむこととその国の文化を好きになることだと思っているので、その二つを提供できるクラスを行います。また、言語を学ぶにおいて間違えることは大切なことなので、間違いを恐

Your bilingual cross-cultural specialist 🌊 Express yourself with cultural cognizance while staying true to your authentic self 🎋🏮 I focus on facilitating your voice, i.e. student-generated output. This will include journaling/writing assignments and structured speaking challenges, as well as more free-form conversations for upper-beginner+ students who so desire. Above all, our lessons together will be compassionate to both the cultural and linguistic standpoints of a non-native learner. Japanese is a complex but also incredibly flexible language: I can equip you with the most efficient conversational “tricks” that natives use in everyday communication — but won’t skimp on important foundational grammar, either.

Beginners(from the scratch) to N1+ everyone is welcome 🤗 For me, it is very important that you study hard. Learning a new language requires an investment of time. The more you learn, the better your language skills will be. I want my students to study as much as they can, not just in our class. Any activities you do in Japanese, you can call to study; reading mangas, watching animes, listening to music, etc... I can also give you some homework if you wish. I look forward to getting to know you ^_^
