An FBI-inspired method to help you speak sooner I was born in Germany and moved to the United States when I was twenty. I have been teaching while pursuing my acting career in New York, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Germany. I have taught adults and children from many backgrounds for more than 25 years. I teach German and English at all levels, and beginners in French and Japanese. My teaching is clear, encouraging, and structured. Students describe me as patient, positive, and easy to understand. I want you to feel safe speaking, making mistakes, and improving step by step. What makes my approach special is that I use language-learning principles inspired by how institutions such as the CIA and FBI train languages: quick recall, immediate sentence building, and active speaking from the beginning. The key is not just memorizing words, but using them instantly. We practice vocabulary through interval recall while forming real sentences, so your brain learns to retrieve the language naturally. I also use pictures for simple prompt-and-response conversations. This helps even beginners speak from the start: I show or describe something, ask guided questions, and help you answer in complete sentences. CANCELLATION POLICY I have a 24-hour cancellation policy. Please use the italki system to reschedule or cancel lessons with more than 24 hours’ notice. Please do not request rescheduling within 24 hours. If you cannot attend, let me know and schedule a new lesson online. I appreciate you and value your time.

日本語教師養成講座を修了、オンライン・オフライン含めて8年以上の教師経験があります。 I believe that everyone has their own reason for wanting to learn Japanese—whether it’s to learn about the culture, use it for work, or study abroad. Drawing on the language and communication skills I developed as an international flight attendant, I strive to quickly understand each student’s needs and offer lesson plans that match their level and goals. However, in any class, I place the most importance on giving students time to actively participate and express themselves. I want to help as many people as possible experience the joy of communicating their thoughts in a foreign language and the satisfaction of being understood.

I have never liked boring lessons and I like dynamism, so I would define myself a teacher who likes that students can learn having fun and with joy. At the same time, I adore grammar and I think it is very important to study and internalize it in order to speak well a foreign language. Finally, during my classes I like to speak a little bit about culture of the language we are studying and to do some language structure’s comparisons which are very interesting to understand how languages work (a little bit of linguistics help).

With 7000+ hours of experience in teaching, I've helped great learners find their passion and voice If you’re looking for a professional teacher who is good at teaching Japanese from zero or who can teach you how Japanese people speak, you’re in luck! I will help you learn how to speak fluently in the most effective way. My experience of living in other countries more than 10 yearstaught me how we should learn and teach languages. Would you like a teacher who actually knows how to learn languages — and is doing so successfully? If so, you’re the kind of student I love working with. I learn a new language every year so I’m always testing and refining new strategies & tactics to benefit my students. In our lessons we will review a lot so that you can imporve something in every lesson. Also, pronunciation is my favorite topic. Although I don’t start teaching pronunciation right away because its priority isn’t so high. However, there are not a lot of Japanese teachers who can teach this topic since it is too complicated, and I’ve been helping thousands of students to improve their pronunciation. *A trial lesson! – I recommend you do a trial lesson as it'll help me to get to know you and assess your fluency level. This will allow me to tailor our sessions according to your specific interests and goals. *Professional Lesson: Why we learn the language… yes! it is for having conversation! We can learn some grammar rules and vocabulary then practice conversation! Don't hesitate to contact me!

Learn Japanese with Oyeko! You can learn practical conversations in real-life Japanese situations. I completed a 420-hour Japanese teacher training program in 2014, and since then I have taught at language schools in Mexico and Japan, as well as online. As someone who used to be a “Spanish-language nerd,” I understand the joy of learning a language for fun. Studying English grammar has also helped me understand the challenges of Japanese more deeply, and this experience shapes the way I support my students. I offer four structured courses based on your grammar level: Zero Beginner, Beginner, Pre Intermediate, and Intermediate. In each course, you can learn grammar systematically while having conversations with me in Japanese. I also offer conversation practice lessons for learners of any level. ■Please click each course name for details and textbook information. My lessons are mainly conducted using the direct method (Japanese only), but for beginner levels I also use original materials with illustrations to support understanding. For Spanish-speaking beginners, I can provide support in Spanish as well. I love sharing my passion for language learning and supporting my students’ progress. I’ve met many wonderful learners on italki, and those experiences make me believe we can create lessons truly suited to your needs as we get to know each other over time.
