Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

🐷 Animal lover 🤡 Fun 😇 Patient 💬 Talkative 🧚‍♀️ Storyteller

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).

Let's learn a relaxed and enjoyable way, Studied linguistics in the UK and Slovenia Hello. My name is Mai. I have been interested in languages since I was a child and have been studying foreign languages for many years. As language learning isn’t always plain sailing, I believe I can empathise with how learners feel. In Japan, I taught introductory, beginner and intermediate Japanese courses as part of a training programme. As these were short courses, I worked intensively with the students. In Malaysia, I worked as an assistant to a local teacher at a secondary school. I provided one-to-one tuition to transfer students who had no prior experience of learning Japanese. Currently, I teach mainly online. In my lessons, I cater to learners seeking both short-term and long-term study programmes. Making the most of the benefits of one-to-one tuition, I focus primarily on conversation whilst also covering grammar, reading and writing. I also offer lessons tailored to specific purposes, such as JLPT, Japanese for customer service, academic Japanese and job interviews in Japanese. I will tailor the learning approach to suit your individual needs. Please feel free to get in touch.

Nice to meet you. My name is TAKASHI.
 Please feel free to call me TAKA 😄 I’m 37 years old and from Osaka, Japan. I love traveling and have visited many different countries.
 I have also lived in Australia 🇦🇺 and Italy 🇮🇹, and I can speak English and Italian. Through my own experience of learning foreign languages, I realized that the most important thing is: “to increase the opportunities to actually use the language you are studying.” No matter how much you study grammar and vocabulary, if you don’t have enough chances to speak, it can be difficult to use the language naturally.
 For the above reasons, I decided that it is important to focus on conversation-centered free-talk in my lessons, first of all, to create many opportunities for you to talk about topics you like, so that you can get used to speaking. And in my lessons, I focus on creating a relaxed atmosphere where you can speak a lot of Japanese. I have had the opportunity to talk with people from many different countries, and each time I have taught them a little about Japanese culture and the language, I have a desire to explain my country to people from more countries. Ok now, let's talk together😎👍🏻

The perfect teacher for people who want casual, organized lessons! Hi everyone, I'm Tatsuki. I'm 30 and lived in Italy for 8 years in total. I love learning languages. Now I'm studying English, Italian, and Danish. My hobbies are traveling, watching movies, reading books, and playing/watching soccer. Soccer has always been my passion. I'm well experienced in teaching Japanese. As you can see, I have had over 9000 lessons here on Italki and taught over 500 students. I learned how to teach Japanese to foreigners at my university and became a professional Japanese teacher after I passed an exam in 2019. But I didn't stop there, and I have been improving as a teacher. I'm a friendly and kind person and really like teaching languages. If you are a beginner and do not understand Japanese, don't worry. I have been studying English for a long time and can explain it in English. I organize my lessons based on what you want to learn. If you want to practice conversation, we'll have a conversation and I'll correct you when you make mistakes. If you want to concentrate on learning grammar, we will use a textbook and cover each chapter. We can also practice reading. We'll read an online article in a lesson (or I can send it to you beforehand) and cover new grammar and words. After every lesson, if you request, I'll send you homework based on your needs or a summary of the lesson so that you can review what you learned during the lesson.

Teacher with10 Years of Experience As a teacher, I believe that learning should be fun, engaging, and effective! My lessons are personalized to meet each student's needs, whether you're a beginner or an advanced learner. I focus on: ✅ Clear explanations – I make complex topics easy to understand ✅ Practical conversation – Speak with confidence in real situations ✅ Interactive learning – Fun activities, exercises, and real-world examples ✅ Cultural insights – Learn not just the language, but also the culture! I always encourage my students to speak as much as possible in class, because I believe that the best way to learn a language is by using it. My goal is to create a comfortable and supportive environment, where you can

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.

Insegnante di lingua giapponese con esperienza di insegnamento e soggiorno in Giappone Ciao! Sono Antonio e insegno giapponese online da oltre 3 anni. Ho lavorato con studenti di età e livelli diversi, aiutandoli a raggiungere obiettivi differenti: migliorare la conversazione, approfondire la grammatica, prepararsi per esami o semplicemente imparare il giapponese per passione. Durante il mio percorso universitario ho vinto una borsa di studio che mi ha permesso di trascorrere un anno in Giappone. Durante questa esperienza ho frequentato corsi di lingua giapponese e ho avuto l'opportunità di vivere direttamente la società giapponese, entrando in contatto con la lingua e la cultura al di fuori dell'ambiente accademico. Questa esperienza mi ha permesso di sviluppare una conoscenza più concreta e approfondita del giapponese e del contesto culturale in cui viene utilizzato. Nel corso della mia esperienza ho anche accompagnato e preparato diversi studenti che hanno poi intrapreso esperienze in Giappone per studio, lavoro e viaggio, aiutandoli a sviluppare le competenze linguistiche necessarie per affrontare queste esperienze con maggiore sicurezza. Durante le mie lezioni cerco di creare un ambiente tranquillo e stimolante, adattando il materiale e le attività alle esigenze di ogni studente. Mi piace combinare grammatica, conversazione e cultura giapponese, con particolare interesse per la storia e l'arte, rendendo lo studio pratico, interessante e collegato all'uso reale della lingua.

Con ottima esperienza nell'insegnamento di conversazione di viaggio a principianti nell'apprendimento della lingua giapponese, ho insegnato conversazione in lingua giapponese per circa 3 anni in Italia. Ho anche esperienza nella preparazione per l'esame JLPT N-5. La mia lezione della lingua giapponese viene svolta in lingua italiana o in spagnolo.

Non ha senso imparare la lingua se non ci si diverte! Buongiorno! Sono Mimi, giapponese con una grande passione per le lingue e la cultura. Ho vissuto molte esperienze: dentista, istruttrice di pilates, amante della danza (flamenco, hula), e praticante della cerimonia del tè da oltre 20 anni. Adoro viaggiare, leggere, ballare e condividere momenti con gli animali—ho anche fatto agility dog con la mia cagnolina! Parlo italiano (CILS C1) e inglese, e conosco bene le sfide e le gioie di imparare una nuova lingua. La mia curiosità mi ha portato a diventare insegnante professionale di giapponese, specialmente per chi parla italiano. Se cerchi un’insegnante attiva, aperta e pronta a rendere lo studio divertente, sono qui per te!
