I'm looking for new students =) Why don't you learn it with me together? I had learned how to teach Japanese through the correspondence course of 420 hours. And I have already been teaching Japanese for about seven years. Since I want to manage my time and schedule more freely, that's why I became an online teacher. Basically, I won't belong to any language school because it demands much time and energy on me more than doing it by myself.

Trained&qualified from a uni in🇦🇺 Not only know🇬🇧 but also know how to teach🇯🇵 to 🇬🇧speakers I am a professional Japanese teacher and have been teaching with italki since 2013. I can assist absolute beginner to highly advanced level students (including N5-N1 preparation), who are willing to manage aspects of their own learning. Thanks to many of my students, I have been become one of the most experienced Japanese teachers at italki. I use PPT and Word documents to explain grammar points, etc. in English. My native tongue is Japanese, but I am trained and qualified to teach in Australia and I am more comfortable to explain Japanese in English. This may be more advantageous for English speakers. I may use less to no English for advanced students.

Certified native Japanese teacher with over 15 years teaching experience (Conversation & JLPT Prep). I majored "Japanese language as foreign language" in my University. The course was designed for people who would like to teach Japanese to foreigners. It was great opportunity to meet foreign students who plan to be Japanese teachers in their countries. I could learn that commonsense makes sense only in where I grew up. Sharing ideas and knowledge for developing and enjoying our lives is the most wonderful thing. Of course "learning language" is a gate to know about other people who have different backgrounds. Would you like to share your ideas with me?

Let’s start learning Japanese :) I’m a professional teacher having a certificate to teach Japanese. I communicate with Non-Japanese in simple Japanese on a daily basis whether at work(not as a teacher though) or in private. As a teacher, I would like to face to you gently and patiently :) I think that it is not easy to keep up learning languages if you get nervous in the class. So, in my lessons, you can get relaxed and I support you to study at your own pace.

The perfect teacher for people who want casual, relaxed lessons! I'm well experienced in teaching Japanese. As you can see, I had over 6000 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.

Most Japanese kids lessons taught on italki! Licensed kindergarten teacher *:) I was working as a kindergarten teacher for three years after I graduated college. After that, I lived in the US for two years to learn English. I have experience as working at a Japanese language school and teaching Japanese language to private students. I've been a professional teacher for eight years. English is my second language, so I can empathize with others who are also learning a new language. 日本では大学卒業後、幼稚園教諭として3年間の経験があり子どもの拙い日本語を優しく指導してきました。そして英語を学ぶ為、渡米し二年間コロラド州に住んでいました。現地の日本語学校での職務経験とフリーランスとして多数の生徒たちに日本語を指導してきましたので、プロの講師としては8年目になります。英語は私の母国語ではないので、私も他言語を学んだ一人として、他言語を学ぶ人の気持ちがよくわかります。

I'll make a special lesson note for you, no need to take notes during the class! Currently I live in Poland as a Japanese teacher, and began my career in Warsaw at one of the biggest language school where I conducted group/private courses for over 100 students with 5years of teaching experience as a tutor in U.S, Thailand and Poland. I can offer materials(Genki, Marugoto, workbooks for JLPT etc) for your study if interested, and in my student-centered classes, you can develop communicative skills, broaden vocabulary, study grammar, read effectively and write professionally. I decided to work abroad, not in Japan because I long dreamt of spreading how many different beauties and charms Japan has to offer and came to Warsaw to make my dream to come true.

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.

Frequently asked questions about online Japanese classes

At italki, you can easily find the right Japanese teacher for you by using our search filters. You can filter teachers by their experience level, teaching style, availability, and even their location. We recommend taking a trial lesson with a few different teachers to see which one you feel most comfortable with and whose teaching style best matches your learning goals. During the trial lesson, you can ask the teacher about their teaching methods, experience, and availability. You can also check their profile for reviews from previous students to get an idea of their teaching effectiveness. Ultimately, finding the right Japanese tutor online is a personal decision, and it’s important to find someone you feel comfortable with and who can help you achieve your language learning goals.

Yes, the Japanese lessons offered by italki are suitable for beginners. In fact, many of the teachers specialize in teaching Japanese to beginners. They use a variety of teaching methods and materials to ensure that students with no prior knowledge of Japanese can learn effectively. For example, teachers may use textbooks, audio and video materials, and other resources to help students develop their reading, writing, listening, and speaking skills. Additionally, some teachers may offer specialized courses that are designed specifically for beginners, such as introductory courses that focus on basic grammar and vocabulary. Regardless of your level of Japanese proficiency, italki offers a wide range of classes and teachers to help you achieve your language learning goals.

Yes, you can learn Japanese at your own pace with italki. Our online Japanese courses are designed to accommodate all levels of learners, including beginners, intermediate learners, and advanced learners. You can choose a Japanese teacher who is specialized in teaching Japanese to beginners if you are just starting out.

One of the biggest advantages of learning Japanese with italki is that you can set your own pace for learning. Unlike traditional language classes where you have to follow a fixed syllabus and pace, with italki, you can choose how many classes you want to take each week and how long you want to study. You can also choose to take a break from classes whenever you need to and come back to them when you are ready.

Additionally, with italki, you have the flexibility to choose the type of classes that suit your learning style and pace. You can choose one-on-one lessons or group classes, and you can choose to focus on specific areas of the language, such as speaking, listening, reading, or writing. This allows you to learn Japanese at your own pace and focus on the areas that are most important to you.

At italki, we understand that sometimes schedules can change, and we make it easy to reschedule or cancel your Japanese lessons. You can contact your teacher directly to reschedule a lesson if you need to. Please note that if you need to reschedule or cancel a lesson, you should do so at least 24 hours in advance to avoid being charged for the lesson. If you cancel a lesson within 24 hours of the scheduled time, you will be charged for the lesson.

If you need to cancel a lesson for an emergency or unexpected event, please contact italki support as soon as possible to explain the situation. Our support team will work with you and your teacher to find a suitable solution.

It’s important to remember that building a good relationship with your Japanese teacher is key to success in your language learning journey, so open communication is encouraged.

At italki, there are multiple payment methods available for online Japanese lessons. You can pay using credit cards, PayPal, Alipay, or other methods depending on your location. To pay for a lesson, you need to purchase italki credits, which can then be used to pay for the lessons you take. The cost of each lesson depends on the teacher’s rate and the length of the lesson. Once you have enough credits, you can book a lesson with your chosen Japanese teacher and pay for it using your credits. After the lesson, your credits will be deducted based on the length of the lesson. You can also set up automatic payments so that you don’t need to manually purchase credits each time you book a lesson. It’s a simple and secure way to pay for online Japanese lessons on italki.

Don't miss out on the opportunity to learn Japanese from the comfort of your own home. Browse our selection of experienced Japanese tutors and enroll in your first lesson now!
