Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

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！

I am very happy to be able to teach Japanese with you. I was a kindergarten teacher for 17 years. After that, I got my Japanese teacher qualification and taught face-to-face classes at a Japanese language school for about three years. Now I teach Japanese to children at an international school, and also teach at a Japanese language school while giving online private lessons. I don't want it to feel like I'm just studying, so I make sure to chat while I'm learning natural Japanese.

Relaxed Japanese Lessons That Actually Help You Speak | All Levels Welcome こんにちは! I'm Aki, a Japanese tutor who helps you learn in a relaxed but structured way. My lessons combine natural conversation with clear notes and practical feedback, so you can build confidence and use Japanese in real situations. Whether you’re a beginner or working towards fluency, I adjust each lesson to your level, pace, and goals. I've taught students from many countries and backgrounds, and I believe there's no single "right" way to learn. That's why I focus on finding an approach that works best for you, keeping lessons supportive, practical, and motivating. Rather than relying on rigid textbooks, I prioritise real communication and useful expressions you can apply immediately. ⭐ Lesson styles 🌱 Beginner-Friendly Japanese (A1) ☕ Conversation Practice (A2–C2) 🗣️ Conversation + Notes (A2–C2) ✍️ Write First, Then Talk (B1–C2) Prefer flexibility? You can choose 30 or 45-minute sessions, or take lessons regularly or biweekly. Many students find this helps them stay consistent while balancing self-study. If you're looking for a comfortable but effective way to improve your Japanese, I'd be happy to support you. Let's get started 😊

🌸Free talk&Conversation🇯🇵 /🌊Anime & Travel Japanese/🇨🇳中文・ English OK/🙌🏻Beginner-friendly 🍒我的学习方式比较特殊，我把自己当作“实验者”，通过自我教学不断试错，形成了自己的学习体系。从零基础到接近母语水平的日语，就是这套方法的成果。我同时会中文、英文和日语，因此也能够无障碍地指导中文或英文母语者学习日语。 🍒My learning journey is unique because I treated myself as an “experiment subject,” constantly teaching myself and testing different learning approaches. Through this, I developed my own method that helped me reach near-native Japanese from zero. Since I speak Chinese, English, and Japanese, I can explain my method clearly to learners who speak either Chinese or English. 🍒私の学習方法は少し特別で、自分自身を「実験者」として独学しながら試行錯誤を重ね、独自の学習メソッドを作り上げました。ゼロからほぼネイティブレベルまで成長できたのは、この方法のおかげです。中国語・英語・日本語が話せるため、中国語圏や英語圏の学習者にもわかりやすく指導できます。

Build Your Japanese Confidence Through Conversation！ Hi, my name is Yoshiko, and I live in Osaka. I'm teaching Japanese at a language school. Before becoming an instructor, I worked at international exchange centers for a university and a city hall. In these role, I organized activities such as international cooking classes and Japanese cultural experiences. I believe learning about each other’s cultures is fun and meaningful. I’d love to hear about your culture too! In my free time, I love going to cafés and cat cafés ☕🐈 I love both cats and coffee, and I also enjoy chatting with people in a relaxed, cozy atmosphere. I lived in Australia for 7 years, so I can support you in English when needed. 【About me as an instructor😊】 I'm a certified and experienced native Japanese instructor. My lessons are designed for beginners and intermediate learners. You can learn step by step at your own pace. As your instructor, I’ll support you in reaching your goals and help you stay motivated. 【My lesson style📒】 For Beginners: Let’s learn basic grammar using text book 'みんなの日本語 Ⅰ/Ⅱ' or free online material 'Irodori'. For Intermediate Learners: Let’s enjoy free conversation based on various topics! I can also support you in English when needed.

Structure is 99%, but It’s Context That Makes It Real—Miss the Context, Miss the Meaning! I specialize in helping ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS to intermediate learners who feel STUCK or don’t know WHERE TO START. My lessons are LOGICAL and STRUCTURED, breaking Japanese into manageable pieces to build your confidence step by step. I know the struggles—particles, conjugations, て forms—but I’ll show you not just “what” to use, but “WHY” it works. My focus is on real-world applications: mastering casual conversations, expressing opinions, and understanding cultural nuances. Every mistake is a stepping stone. My teaching is clear, encouraging, and always tailored to your unique learning style.
