The best online Japanese speaking tutors

Learn About Japan Through Fun Conversations‼️English OK🌸 Hi! I’m from Fukuoka, Japan, and Japanese is my first language. I studied abroad in Ireland in high school, where I learned English. I later lived in Tokyo for seven years before returning to Fukuoka. I currently teach Japanese online and also work in Japanese-English interpretation and tour guiding. I love languages, travel, and connecting with people from different cultures. I have traveled across Europe, Asia, and the US, so we can talk about Japanese culture, life in Fukuoka and Tokyo, travel, food, and more. I have taught Japanese online for over a year and currently have around 35 regular students. One of my strengths is explaining Japanese clearly and logically in English. I can help you understand grammar, differences between expressions, and the nuances of Japanese words. I’m also confident teaching keigo. Through my experience in an NGO, I learned appropriate Japanese for formal situations. I can teach natural polite Japanese, business keigo, and more formal expressions. I believe learning Japanese becomes more meaningful when you also understand the culture, customs, and ways of thinking behind the language. My lessons can include conversation, reading, listening, Japanese for travel, grammar, and cultural discussion. Whether you are a complete beginner, preparing for a trip to Japan, or an advanced learner who wants conversation practice, I can adapt the lessons to your goals. My goal is to make Japanese practical, enjoyable, and easy to understand.

My first priority is students' interests and purposes of taking lessons. I'm here to help you attain your goals no matter what they are. I usually take students from intermediate to advanced level speakers since I'm a community tutor who don't have a structured series of courses with textbooks. For completely beginners and those who are younger than 18, I recommend to consider taking lessons with other professional tutors. My classes will also be good for those who are planning to visit Japan since I can provide lots of useful information of sightseeing spots, cultural perspectives and useful greetings/phrases/words as a traveler. 日本の文化や日本に来たときに役に立つあいさつやフレーズを教えることもできます。

英語とドイツ語、OKです (English and German speaker)☺ みなさん、こんにちは。東京生まれで現在はドイツ在住のMatsukoです。英語とドイツ語も話せるため、初心者の方や外国語学習に不安のある方も安心してご参加いただけます。私自身も英語・ドイツ語を学んでいるので、言語習得の難しさや楽しさをよく理解しています。グルメ、旅行、読書が趣味で、これらの話題を交えながら、日本の文化や日常会話を分かりやすく、楽しくご紹介いたします。日本語をより身近に感じたい方、ぜひ一緒に学びましょう。お会いできるのを楽しみにしています。 Hello, everyone! I’m Matsuko—born in Tokyo and currently living in Germany. Since I speak English and German, beginners and those who feel uneasy about learning a foreign language can join with confidence. As I am also a learner of English and German myself, I truly understand both the challenges and the joys of language acquisition. I love food, travel, and reading; I’ll incorporate these topics into our lessons to introduce Japanese culture and everyday conversation in a fun, easy-to-understand way. If you’d like to get more familiar with the Japanese language, let’s learn together! I look forward to meeting you. *Being on holiday till end of August :)

どんどん話せる！話すのが楽しい！！ For those who are studying Japanese from level 0, lessons are given in English or French. Then we will gradually increase the number of Japanese words used in the lessons. にほんごが　すこし　わかるひとは　できるだけ　にほんごで　レッスン（れっすん）をします。 でも　ひつような　ときは　えいごか　フランスご（B１レベル）で　せつめいします。 ごがくを　べんきょうして　話（はな）せるようになる　一番（いちばん）の方法（ほうほう）は、 何度（なんど）も聞（き）いたり話（はな）したりすること！ べんきょうした言葉（ことば）、文法（ぶんぽう）を　何度（なんど）も　いってもらえるように、 たのしく　おもしろいレッスンを　しています。　しぜんに　みんなが　たくさん話（はなし）をしてしまうような、リラックス（りらっくす）して　はなせる　ふんいきづくりを　こころがけています。 まちがいを　こわがらずに　日本語で　話してみようという　前向（まえむ）きな気持（きも）ちになれますと思（おも）います。

I was raised and educated in Japan but now live in Vietnam. I regularly use Vietnamese with my colleague, subordinates and counterparts and sometimes communicate with customers around the world in English. Each language is unique in its own way, but don't think too hard about it, just start a conversation by using the words you know and saying them out loud.
