New Info: I was born and raised in Gifu Prefecture, Japan, and I have lived in the U.S. for over 20 years. I currently live in New York. I enjoy teaching Japanese, and I also love learning languages. I am currently studying French. My lessons mainly focus on conversation, but I can adjust them based on each student’s level and goals. For beginners, I can use textbooks to help them learn the basics step by step. For advanced learners, we can read books, discuss news articles, or focus on any topic they would like to study. As a language learner myself, I know how enjoyable it feels to communicate in another language. Japanese is not easy, but I would like to help my students experience that same joy. Since I am also studying French, my explanations may sometimes be a mix of French and English, but I can also teach Japanese in French. My lesson fees are now $11.00 for 30 minutes, $14.00 for 45 minutes, and $17.00 for 60 minutes for any levels (updated in August 2026). I also offer a 10% discount for packages of 5 lessons. If you are interested, please take advantage of the package prices. If you would like to book a lesson for your child, please message me in advance with your child’s age and Japanese level. Depending on the child’s age and level, I may not be able to accept the lesson.

台北在住12年 (北京2年) | 就職・留学・キャリア支援 | 経済・文化・歴史を語れる日本語 私の指導方針は「丸暗記させない」ことです。 中国語と日本語の構造的な違いを熟知しているため、「なぜあなたがその間違いをするのか?」を論理的に説明し、根本から矯正します。 「なんとなく通じる日本語」から「知性や教養を感じさせる日本語」へレベルアップさせましょう。 また、私のレッスンは単なるお喋りではありません。 私たちは「対等な大人」として、社会問題、経済、文化について意見交換をします。 あなたの知的好奇心を満たしながら、中身のある濃密な時間を提供することをお約束します。 (中文简体) 我的教学理念是“绝不让你死记硬背”。 因为我深知中日文的结构差异,所以我能从逻辑上解释“为什么你会犯这个错误”,并帮你彻底纠正。 让我们从“勉强能沟通的日语”升级为“充满知性与教养的日语”吧。 此外,我的课程不仅仅是闲聊。 我们将作为“平等的成年人”,就社会问题、经济、文化交换意见。 在满足你求知欲的同时,我承诺为你提供“高含金量”的课程体验。

Qualified Japanese teacher living in France🇫🇷 Hello, I'm Sayoko. I'm a qualified Japanese teacher. I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan but live in France now. I speak standard Japanese. My hobbies are travelling, watching movies, learning languages & reading books. Since 2018, I've taught Japanese to beginner students on a 1-1 basis. In 2022, I passed the Japanese language Teaching Competency Test. I've studied English at university and now I'm studying French so I understand how difficult it is to learn new languages. If necessary, I can speak English or French to clarify certain points. I use interactive activities so students can practise their language skills. I tailor the lessons to the needs of each individual student. Bonjour . Je suis Sayoko. Je suis professeur de japonais diplômé. Je suis née et j'ai grandi à Tokyo , mais je vis en France maintenant. Je parle japonais couramment. J'aime voyager, regarder des films, lire des livres, cuisiner. Je donne des cours particulier de japonais depuis 2018. J'ai obtenu le diplôme Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test en 2022. J'ai étudié l'anglais à l'université et j'étudie le français maintenant donc je comprends comme il est difficile d'apprendre une nouvelle langue. Si nécessaire je peux parler français et anglais pendant le cours. Mes cours sont interactifs donc les étudiants peuvent mettre en œuvre leur compétences. J'adapte les leçons aux besoins de chaque étudiant.
