☘️ Passionate About Language Education | 🐣 Specialized in Complete Beginners to Lower-Intermediate みなさん、こんにちは！　Hello, everyone ! I'm KANA😊 I'm from Osaka, Japan. And I'm living there. 🌼 My Teaching Experience ◇ I am a nationally certified Japanese language teacher 👩‍🏫 ◇ I have experience teaching Japanese to more than 70 students from over 10 countries. ✨ ◇ I am especially good at teaching complete beginners to lower-intermediate learners✨ ◇ Of course, I also have experience teaching intermediate-level Japanese, so I can flexibly adjust my lessons to each student's level and needs🌱 🌼 About Me ◇ I have a strong interest in languages and language education, and I am very passionate about them ! ◇ I believe that learning a language is not only about studying grammar and vocabulary. It is also about communicating, broadening our world, and enjoying the process🌤️ 🌼 About My Lessons ◇ I create many opportunities for you to practice speaking using new grammar and vocabulary. Rather than simply following a textbook, let's learn Japanese in a way that is possible because you are learning with a teacher. ◇ For complete beginners, I can also support you in English, Korean, or Chinese, so please feel comfortable! ☺️ 🌼 Trial Lesson（30 minutes） ・Self-introduction (5–10 minutes) ・Questions about your Japanese learning (5–10 minutes) ・A short trial lesson (about 10–20 minutes) ・I will suggest a lesson plan for you after the trial lesson ◾️ Cancellation Policy ＊Please note that lessons cannot be canceled and refunded within 12 hours before the lesson starts ⚠️

I’ll help turn your worries about learning a language into fun and confidence. Hi, I'm Taka. Take it easy—that's my philosophy. I love talking to people from all over the world. Every student teaches me something new. You're welcome here. Let's grow together. Right now, I'm based in Tohoku, learning about agriculture and enjoying ramen every week. But life wasn't always like this. I spent more than a decade in Tokyo working in fashion, probably selling your country's brands. That experience gave me deep people skills and the ability to understand what customers needed—skills I use in my teaching. In lessons, I will never rush you. I wait for you to speak and create space for you to say a lot. You talk more, make mistakes, correct yourself, and improve. That's how we solve the common problem—"I can understand, but I can't speak." **What I Teach** If you want academic Japanese study, my lessons may not fit. I recommend a teacher who specializes in that. My lessons are conversation-focused. I don't focus on "correct" or "wrong," but on whether expressions are natural for native speakers. Through free conversation, you'll learn living Japanese: natural rhythm, real expressions, and authentic communication skills. As my students say, the lessons are fun and full of laughter. In this atmosphere, you'll develop the ability to speak naturally and confidently with Japanese people—as an equal. That's the goal. Speaking well with anyone, anywhere.

「褒めるばかりで、直してもらえない。」 度々お聞きします。ネイティブ並みを目指す方。発音アクセント・イントネーションを重点に、ていねいに指導・訓練します。 正確な文法、豊富な語彙を備えながら、話し方のせいで母語で話しているときの知的な印象が無くなり、子供っぽく感じる方にたくさんお会いしてきました。 発音矯正を重視し、洗練された話し方を練習します。そして教養や感性を伝えるためにはそれを表す語彙が必要ですので、たくさんの表現方法を覚えていただけるよう、より豊かな日本語へと導きます。 　言葉は知性、品性を表します。教養にふさわしい知的な話し方は訓練で身につけられます。 これから40年、50年日本語を使っていくのですから、今の流行りの話し方ではなく、一生使える日本語を覚えていただきます。目標はどこに出ても恥ずかしくない言葉使いを身に着けていただくことです。 　作文コースではプロの文筆家として、日本語で表現をしたい方、論文、大切な人への手紙など、伝えたいことを力強く支援します。ネイティブチェックも高い品質で行います。 With my experience as a presenter in NHK programs, I can teach you how to present yourself. Kimberleeさんからいただいたレビュー 今日もありがとうございました。大変勉強になりました。It is difficult to find a teacher who not only gives precise and detailed feedback on pitch, intonation, and pacing, but provides corrections. Many instructors don't correct students on pronunciation, or if they do they have trouble articulating how mistakes should be corrected. Mao-sensei always listens carefully and provides precise feedback. She is patient and kind, but does not let mistakes "slide;" something which I really appreciate.I look forward to continuing my studies, and hopefully learning more work phrases to help me in my daily life.

Friendly Native Japanese Tutor 6+ Years of Teaching Experience Hello! My name is Rei. I am a native Japanese speaker from Tokyo, Japan. And I currently live in Australia with my Australian partner. I have experience working as a Japanese tutor in Victoria, Australia, where I taught around 10 local students through private lessons. At university, I completed teacher training courses and gained over 6 years of experience teaching students of different ages and levels as a cram school tutor. I also help my Australian partner learn Japanese in our daily life, which has given me valuable experience explaining Japanese in simple, practical, and easy-to-understand ways. I love meeting new people and sharing Japanese language and culture. Through my lessons, I hope more people will think: “Japanese is fun!” “I want to visit Japan!” “I want to learn more about Japanese culture!” As someone who is currently learning English and living abroad, I understand both the challenges and excitement of learning a new language. My goal is to create a relaxed and supportive environment where students feel comfortable making mistakes and building confidence.
