Absolute beginners are WELCOME ! Certified Japanese teacher with Over 2,000 online Lesson I'm certified Japanese teacher and I have been teaching Japanese since 2009 on italki. I always enjoy teaching and seeing my students improve their Japanese. I am a teacher but I have been studying English and Spanish so I fully understand the difficulty to learn other languages. As I have lived in Tokyo for about 10 years I speak standard Japanese other than Kansai dialect ( 関西弁). I also speak English and Spanish other than Japanese. So don't worry if you have trouble understanding Japanese I can also explain in English as well.

I am certified to teach Japanese and currently teach at a language school in Taiwan and for private students. I teach general Japanese, business Japanese as well as exam preparation for JLPT, to students from various backgrounds. Some of my students started to learn with me from Hiragana, the most basic letters in this language, and some others are advanced learners who are required to use Japanese for their jobs. I am so happy for what my students and I are doing together to improve their skills, and having good time in each class.

Let's enjoy studying Japanese! 翻訳の仕事をしているので日本語の細かいニュアンスを伝えることができます。以前はホテルで働いていたので丁寧な日本語も教えることができます。特にフランス語圏の方につきましては間違いやすいポイントを知っていますので初級から上級者の方に対応いたします。 J'enseigne souvent le japonais surtout à mes amis francophones. Je connais donc les points dans lesquels les Francophones ont tendance à se tromper. Comme je travaille en tant que traducteur, je peux transmettre les nuances subtiles du japonais. Je peux aussi enseigner le japonais poli grâce à mon expérience dans l’hôtellerie. I have been teaching Japanese on Italki since August. And since I work as a translator, I can explain the subtle nuances of Japanese. I can also teach polite Japanese thanks to my experience in the hotel business.

Welcomes students at all levels—from complete beginners to those with some experience and beyond! I'll create a personalized lesson plan just for you, based on your goals, strengths, and things you'd like to improve. That’s why I really value good communication during our lessons. I’ve been teaching Japanese for 6 years since getting my teaching certificate in Tokyo. Even before that, I was volunteering as a Japanese tutor. As someone who’s learned English and a few other languages, I know how tough it feels when you start learning a language from scratch—so I always try to make lessons fun and easy to stick with. I also love sharing about Japanese culture, so you’ll get more out of your lessons and enjoy your future time in Japan even more!

I know where English speakers often get stuck—and how to help you move forward quickly. Many of my students say they finally understood things that other teachers couldn’t explain. Some tell me, “I’ve been confused for months, but now it makes sense in one lesson!” My lessons are priced higher than many others on italki, but they’re designed to be efficient and results-driven. If you want to save time and make fast, meaningful progress, my teaching style may be exactly what you’re looking for.
