Japanese language and culture in a casual way ✌ Up until now, I have been teaching for more than two years now and I really enjoy it. I have premade lessons that I use for teaching, but of course, I can organize lessons to one's wishes. In my lessons, I try to use as many as possible different resources for learning and I can promise you that a class with me won't be boring. I'm trying to be professional as much as possible, but I would like to create a relaxed atmosphere so that we can learn with a smile on our faces.

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.

Certified teacher and linguist with many years of teaching experience As a trained linguist with many years of experience, I’ve had the joy of teaching students from all walks of life. From Russian and German at a Japanese university to shaping a Russian coursebook and teaching across Germany, Russia, and Japan, my journey has been all about helping people unlock new languages. I’m known for my patience and love for making even the trickiest language rules—like grammar—easy to understand. Whether you’re stuck on a word or curious about culture, I’m here to guide you. But what I enjoy most is watching my students’ progress (I know it sounds a bit cheezy :)) —but it’s the best part of teaching, knowing that every step forward brings a new sense of achievement.

Natural Conversation & Real-Life Japanese for all levels 🇯🇵 Konnichiwa! It's me, Juri. Thank you for taking the time to check out my profile and for your interest. I am a very cheerful, open-minded person. I always try to be the teacher that I would like to learn with. I am interested in other cultures and languages, and I constantly learn other languages. Right now, I take Spanish and Slovak classes here on italki, so I am also a language learner like you. As I am interested in Japanese culture, customs, and actual topics, in the class, we read a lot of articles (only if you choose the class of Nihongo de yomou-!). I love to learn about your country and share my experience living both in Europe and Japan. 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 count as studying: reading manga, watching anime, listening to music, etc. I can also give you some homework if you wish. *I am not a Japanese teacher, but a native speaker. I am here to teach more casually, not to teach grammar from the beginning. All of my students learn grammar on their own. I am here to help you to USE Japanese. (speaking, writing, reading...) I am looking forward to getting to know you ^_^ Thank you for reading all. Matane!

Certified language teacher with 7 years of teaching experience. Fluent in Japanese&English&Chinese! I like working one-on-one with students because each lesson is different and dynamic. My lessons are always adapted to the students’ needs, such as building up the foundation for a new language, practicing daily, business conversation, or preparing for job interviews or presentations. After teaching more than a thousand lessons, I feel comfortable and confident to teach all levels, different learning styles and purposes. I’m native in Chinese and Japanese. I also speak English fluently, so I can use each language to teach. 大家好！我叫史茜玉。我在中国出生、在日本长大。我的母语是中文和日语、我也会说英语。所以我可以用这三种语言来上课。我的课会特别轻松愉快(^^)很期待在网上和大家见面！

Certified teacher and translator - Become fluent through fun and interactive lessons! I am a native Japanese teacher living in Germany. I've also lived in the UK and France, and enjoy discovering foreign cultures, while still appreciating Japanese traditions such as tea ceremony and calligraphy. Teaching on italki since 2019, I enjoy sharing my love for languages and accompanying my students on their journey. Some students started with me back then and are still learning with me today, progressing from complete beginner to fluency over the years, and it has been a pleasure to witness their development. Language learning is a long (but rewarding!) process that can be hard to navigate on your own. I guide you based on both my teaching experience and my own experience of learning languages quite different from my own. Certified in 2005, I adapt my approach to each student, combining precise bilingual instruction and comprehensible input. I aim to create a safe environment where you can feel comfortable speaking and making mistakes. Beginners can start from the basics, with my original materials designed to make learning engaging. From intermediate level, we shift focus to application through conversation and activities, to address gaps and strengthen your grammar and vocabulary. You will also develop an understanding of real-life Japanese, society, and culture, so you can express yourself with confidence and feel like yourself in the language. ☆Postgraduate Certificate in Teaching Japanese as a Foreign Language (IIEL) ☆English (C2), French (DALF C1)
