Lesson Taylor | Tailor-made Japanese lessons for new learners to advanced (オーダーメイド日本語レッスン) As a teacher, I value flexibility. Every student has different backgrounds, and the most effective way to master a language varies from person to person, so I always adjust my lessons to fit what you need. Thankfully, my students often tell me that I have a calm and relaxed way of teaching, which makes it easier for them to speak without feeling nervous. Ultimately, I want to be a teacher who listens carefully and encourages you. I’ll do my best to guide you in your Japanese learning journey, while making sure you always feel comfortable and motivated. 先生としては、柔軟性を大切にしています。みんな違うバックグラウンドがあるはずなので、それぞれに合わせたレッスンをするのが大切だと考えています。ありがたいことに、リラックスした雰囲気で話せるというフィードバックをよく頂くので、皆さんが心地良い環境で学習できるように努めます!

Sam
Polyglot and TEFL-certified teacher with 6 years of teaching experience I teach English conversation to intermediate and advanced students, during which I make careful suggestions as to how students can improve the grammatical accuracy and idiomatic appropriateness of their spoken English. My strong understanding of Russian has enabled me to help many Russian-speakers in particular. I have heard every mistake Russians can make in English! I also have a special interest in phonetics and phonology. I have a postgraduate education in this subject, and particularly enjoy working on pronunciation. Students looking for detailed feedback on their pronunciation should feel free to contact me.

Fuka(ふうか)
Currently in Mexico: Going back to Asia in mid January. Please check my new class hour! I’m not big on studying per se. I believe we get good at what we are motivated to do. Language learning is not a simple process, and there are lots of ways to do it. If your focus is conversation and practical use, my lessons would be perfect for you. I do have teacher certification as a Japanese instructor. And I can also help explain passages and patterns in English. I will use conversation starters and textbooks to get you speaking, but your italki time is your time. We will talk about issues and do practical exercises that you are interested in.

You will want to continue because it’s fun! Through my past experiences I've met a lot of lovely people from all over the world and the one thing that stuck out to me the most was the opinion about how difficult Japanese is to learn as a second language (especially Kanji! ><) I've decided to take to italki so I may reach more potential friends around the world and converse in this beautiful language! I'm so excited to use the new methods of teaching I learnt in practice in our learning together! I'm so looking forward to meeting you all and being your tomodachi 👫

For Business Professionals - A specialist in teaching practical Japanese for business success. I previously taught over 1,500 students in Tokyo and helped many of them realize their potential through my original learning methods.

Alongside my work in education, I have shared my views on topics such as education, child development, business, and entrepreneurship through university lectures, media appearances, and publications. I’ve been deeply inspired by the passion of every learner I’ve met here—each one genuinely strives to become proficient in Japanese. I want to support that dedication by helping you transform how you study and approach language learning.
