こんにちは、ガブといいます。僕は日本とブラジルのハーフです。 最近、主な趣味は本を読んだり、料理したり、絵を描いたり、新しい言語を学んだり、余裕があるときは色んな場所を訪れたりすることです。 本、アーティスト、アニメやゲームの好みが幅広いので、色々とおすすめできるかと思います。 様々なことに興味を持っていますが、特に詳しいのは音楽、料理、観光、アニメ、ゲーム、自然科学や本に関する話題です。 Olá, me chamo Gabriel. Sou mestiço de japonês com brasileiro e libanês. Ultimamente, meus passatempos favoritos são ler, cozinhar, desenhar, aprender novas línguas e visitar vários lugares quando posso. Meu gosto por livros, artistas, animes e jogos é bem eclético, e portanto creio que posso te fazer várias recomendações. Me interesso por diversos assuntos, mas meus prediletos são música, culinária, turismo, animes, videogame, ciência e livros. Por experiência pessoal e a de ter trabalhado e voluntariado desde o colegial ensinando japonês para estudantes de outros países, sei como é difícil quando não temos o progresso que esperamos nos estudos. Acredito que é em incentivando e desafiando é que se consegue obter bons resultados, e por isso, sempre estarei torcendo por você e te desafiando até seus limites. Nas minhas aulas, geralmente praticaremos a conversação, mas podemos sempre adaptar de acordo com suas necessidades. O importante é que nossa conversa flua naturalmente, e que eu não fale demais e você pouco ou vice-versa. Sempre vou te escutar até o final, então se desafie, tente usar novas palavras e expressões que você aprendeu, não tenha medo de errar e não se esqueça de se divertir!

日本企業で多くの外国人と仕事をしてきた元エンジニアが日本語を教えます 私はJun.K(きたむら じゅん)です。埼玉県で生まれ千葉県で育ち、現在は神奈川県の厚木市に住んでいて、妻と二人の息子がいます。 長年、日本の半導体会社で働き、日本の会社の様子をよく知っています。3年間ほど中国の杭州に駐在したこともあり、英語はビジネスレベルで、中国語を少し話します。 趣味はゴルフとギターです。3年前に始めたゴルフが楽しくて、毎週レッスンに通っています。スコアはベストが95です。ギターは中学生の頃アコースティックギターを始め、コードを見れば鳴らすことができます。以前友人とバンドを組んでエレキベースで日本のポップスを演奏しました。最近はエレキギターにも挑戦しています。 私はこれまで、多くの海外エンジニアや顧客とコミュニケーションを重ねてきました。難しい技術内容を相手の状況を見ながら「ギアチェンジ」をして、わかりやすい表現を使って説明することを心掛けてきました。この経験は私の日本語レッスンに活かせると思います。 国家資格「登録日本語教員」を持っているので、質の高い日本語レッスンができます。現在「介護の日本語の教え方」を勉強しているので、介護関係に強いです。 私のレッスンはわかりやすくて楽しいものを目指しています。内容は主に次の4種類です。 ①介護の日本語  日本で介護福祉士になりたい人向けのレッスンです。普通の日本語レッスンでは、通常、介護に関する内容を扱いません。介護の「専門用語」や漢字、介護施設での具体的な場面を想定した声掛け、報告書の書き方の練習をします。日本の介護福祉士試験対策なども見ていきましょう。 ②ビジネスや技術の日本語  日本の会社で働きたい人に向けてのレッスンです。日本の会社でよく使う日本語や、最近のIT技術や半導体技術に関する話題をあつかいます。入社面接対策も一緒にやっていきましょう。 ③生活のための日本語  スーパーで買い物をする、電車で東京に行く、コンビニで荷物を送る、など、日本での生活ができるようになるためのレッスンです。 ③趣味(フリートーク)の日本語  みなさんの趣味を話題にした会話をします。私はゴルフとギターですが、最近日本の武道のひとつである「合気道」を始めました。日本文化の話もしましょう。また自作した衣裳で参加した会社の仮装大会(バズライトイヤー、レゴ人形)で2回優勝したこともお話したいです。 レッスンは日本語で進めますが、初級者には英語や簡単な中国語でのサポートができます。教材はオンライン教材か私の自作のものを使いますが、皆さんが使いたい教科書があれば相談しましょう。

Good lessons make you forget you're studying. こんにちは! I'm Aki. I help learners become more comfortable with Japanese by using it together in a relaxed, natural way. In my lessons, we focus on expressions that people actually use. You'll hear them, use them, and gradually become familiar with them through conversation. If you're a beginner, I'll prepare simple notes to help you follow along. After conversation lessons, I'll also send you useful words and expressions from our lesson so you can review them later or add them to your own flashcards. I've taught students from many countries and backgrounds, and I've learned that everyone learns differently. Rather than following a fixed method, I adjust each lesson to suit you, your level, and what you want to achieve. My goal is simple: to help you feel more at ease using Japanese in everyday situations and enjoy the process of getting there.

    An amazing teacher to study Japanese with! Patient, kind and great at teaching nuance within Japanese grammar. She allows me to make the grammar my own by explaining all the ways certain structures and verbs are used, and in which contexts. Paying more attention to things I find difficult. I've already learned so much only within 2 lessons! ゆきえせんせい, ありがとうございま !

    I really enjoy working with Haru and appreciate how patient she is! Every lesson she provides a picture and we work through the details of the picture describing it. At the end of the lesson she sends me a one sheet review page over everything that we covered. This makes it very easy to brush up between lessons. This is great for someone who is trying to learn words in context or has learned Japanese in the past but need a refresher.

    241 Stunden mit Sachiko als Lehrerin - wie die Zeit vergehen kann. Der Unterricht findet auf sehr gutem Deutsch und Japanisch statt - mittlerweile sogar mehr auf japanisch als auf deutsch. Die Dialoge sind meist auf Ereignissen der letzten Woche, wodurch man auch neue Vokabel kennen lernt. Sachiko ist immer pünktlich, gut vorbereitet, und steckt mit ihrer guten Laune immer an. Der Unterricht folgt einem "Lehrplan" analog einem Lehrbuch. Es wird aber nicht nur stumpf das Buch abgearbeitet sondern Grammatik / Kulturelles wird durch eigene, verständlichere Folien / Bilder erklärt. Zu Beginn jeder Unterrichtstunde gibt es einen Dialog / Sprechübung, in der man über Urlaubsbilder, Geschehnisse aus der letzten Woche o.Ä. spricht. Ansonsten sprechen die Zahlen für sich: Anzahl Studenten vs Anzahl Stunden: viele Studenten nehmen mehr als nur 1-3 Stunden bei ihr. 5 Sterne Bewertung bei > 6200 Stunden - findet mal eine 5 Sterne Google-Bewertung mit über 6000 Bewertungen.

    I love my lessons with Shiota-Sensei! He has customised the lessons around my specific interests (board games and craft beer!) and makes the lessons very fun! He keeps in touch in between lessons with information relating to the topics we discussed. It feels like I'm just chatting with a good friend. I have been learning Japanese through apps and online tools and videos, and this is the first time working with a tutor. I'm finding it very helpful to learn more about how to have conversations. ありがとうございます

    Learning Japanese

    I really had fun with Sensei’s listening skill challenge! It made me more aware of the areas where I still need to improve. I also really enjoy how Sensei discusses the latest news and current events, then teaches me how to express my thoughts naturally in Japanese. Overall, I always have a great time learning with Sensei. It’s not only helping me improve my Japanese, but also making the learning experience fun, practical, and engaging! 🇯🇵

Frequently asked questions about online Japanese classes

Do I need a tutor to learn Japanese?

You can learn Japanese without a tutor using free apps, textbooks, and online videos, but it usually takes much longer. Self-study often lacks real speaking practice, immediate feedback, and clear guidance, which makes it harder to stay motivated and progress confidently.Hiring a Japanese language tutor is worth it because they provide personalised lessons, real-time correction on pronunciation and grammar, and structured learning designed around your goals, whether that’s everyday conversation, business Japanese, or passing the JLPT exam.

While it’s possible to learn without platforms like italki, doing so often feels overwhelming and slow because you don’t have a clear learning path or someone to hold you accountable. Combining private Japanese lessons from an online Japanese tutor with extra resources like kanji apps, flashcards, and podcasts gives you the best of both worlds, professional guidance to learn correctly and extra practice to accelerate your progress.

How much does a Japanese tutor cost per session?

Online Japanese lessons typically range from $15 to $60 per hour, depending on the tutor’s experience and lesson format. Many learners choose private Japanese tutors because they provide personalized guidance, instant correction, and real conversation practice that help them progress faster than studying alone.

On italki, you have access to both community and professional tutors, making it easy to find a Japanese teacher that matches your goals and budget. A 30-minute Japanese lesson typically costs between $3 and $10.

How quickly will I become fluent with a Japanese teacher?

Fluency in Japanese depends on your study habits, consistency, and starting level, but working with a Japanese teacher can significantly speed up your progress. Experts estimate that reaching professional working proficiency in Japanese takes about 2,200 hours of study. That said, you don’t need that much time to start speaking. Most learners reach a conversational level after 400–600 hours, which often means 6–12 months of regular tutoring.

Lessons are tailored to your needs, you receive hands-on guidance, and you practice real conversation in every session.This focused approach to Japanese teaching helps you stay consistent, motivated, and moves you toward higher levels of fluency.

Why should I use a Japanese language tutor to learn Japanese with italki?

Using a Japanese language tutor on italki helps you learn the Japanese you’ll actually use, not just textbook phrases, by focusing on real conversations, common expressions, and situations you encounter in daily life.

Your private Japanese tutor can help you practice conversation, review grammar, prepare for exams like the JLPT, or build confidence in speaking, with lessons customized to your level and pace. They correct mistakes on the spot, suggest natural ways to phrase things, and explain cultural context, so you communicate appropriately in any situation.

All lessons are available anytime online, and most operate on a pay-as-you-go system, so you only pay for the private Japanese lessons you take. For learners looking for extra support, italki Plus also offers an optional subscription with features like AI-powered study tools, exclusive events, and discounts.

How do italki's online Japanese classes work?

italki’s online Japanese classes are simple, flexible, and personalized. Here’s how they work:

  • 📝 Create an account – Sign up on italki and start browsing hundreds of qualified Japanese tutors with detailed profiles showing their teaching style, experience, and student reviews.
  • 🔍 Find a tutor – Choose a tutor that fits your goals and schedule, filtering by price, availability, specialization, or tutor type. Many tutors offer trial lessons to help you find the right match.
  • 💻 Book and attend lessons – Meet your private Japanese tutor via italki’s video platform. Your tutor will assess your level, discuss objectives, and tailor lessons to your needs.
  • 📚 Practice between lessons – Tutors often provide extra resources or conversation practice to help you progress.
  • ⏱️ Learn at your own pace – Lessons are fully flexible and can be scheduled daily, weekly, or as often as you like, allowing you to maintain consistent practice and make steady progress in learning Japanese online.

How often should I meet with an online Japanese tutor?

How often you meet with an online Japanese tutor depends on your goals, schedule, and current level. Beginners often benefit from 2–3 online Japanese lessons per week to build consistency, practice speaking, and reinforce new grammar and vocabulary. Intermediate and advanced learners may have 1–2 online Japanese lessons per week for focused practice, exam preparation, or conversation skills.

Consistency is key. Short, regular lessons are usually more effective than longer, infrequent sessions. Your learning style also matters: some students do well with more intensive lessons, while others prefer a slower, steady pace. A private Japanese tutor can help you design a schedule that fits your lifestyle, and lessons can be adjusted as your goals evolve.

Do italki's Japanese tutors offer free online Japanese lessons?

While italki Japanese tutors don’t offer completely free lessons, many provide trial lessons at a heavily discounted rate. Each student can book up to three trial lessons (one per tutor), giving you the chance to experience different Japanese teaching styles before committing. These trial lessons let you try a Japanese lesson online, assess the tutor’s approach, discuss your goals, and see if their style suits you. It’s a low-risk way to find the right Japanese teacher for your needs.

Do I need a basic understanding of the Japanese language before I can take Japanese classes with italki?

No. You don’t need any previous knowledge to start learning Japanese on italki. The platform has many Japanese tutors for beginners who specialize in teaching students with no prior knowledge of Japanese. These tutors understand the challenges of starting from scratch and know how to make the language approachable from day one.

Finding a Japanese tutor for beginners is simple. When browsing tutor profiles, filter by specialization (such as “beginners”), watch introduction videos, and read reviews from other students.

Starting as a complete beginner can even be an advantage, since your Japanese instructor will guide you toward good pronunciation and grammar habits from the very beginning.

What is the difference between an italki Community tutor vs. Professional tutor?

The main difference between an italki community tutor and a professional tutor lies in their qualifications, teaching style, and focus.Professional tutors are certified teachers with formal training. They offer structured lessons with prepared materials, covering grammar, vocabulary, and exam prep. They provide study resources and detailed feedback during online Japanese lessons, making them ideal for beginners or students seeking systematic learning.

Community tutors, on the other hand, are native or fluent speakers without formal teaching credentials. They focus on conversational practice, helping learners build fluency and confidence in a flexible, informal, and often more budget-friendly way.Many learners use both: professional Japanese tutors for foundational skills and community Japanese tutors for speaking practice.

What are the benefits of private online Japanese lessons?

Private online Japanese lessons with a dedicated Japanese language instructor make learning faster, easier, and more enjoyable than group classes or self-study. Your lessons are customized to your level, goals, and interests, be it mastering kanji, improving pronunciation, preparing for the JLPT, or speaking confidently in daily conversation.

This personalized Japanese tuition speeds up learning because your tutor adapts the pace and teaching style to suit how you learn best. You can ask questions freely, revisit difficult concepts, and spend extra time on areas that need the most attention without holding back other students.

Plus, private online Japanese lessons are convenient and adaptable. You can access qualified Japanese tutors from anywhere, often at rates lower than a local in-person instructor. This kind of Japanese tutoring helps you make real progress and use the language confidently.
