日本語は読めるけど、話すのが苦手な方、日本の小説を日本語で読んでみたい方、面接やプレゼンの練習をしたい方、敬語やビジネス会話を覚えたい方、文章を書く練習をしたい方、お待ちしています。 私はビジネスをリタイヤした後、何をしようかと考えていたとき、まず思い浮かんだことは、外国語を学んで海外の人たちと交流をするということでした。しかし、逆に、私が日本語を教えることによって、多くの外国の方が日本語を理解し、日本が好きになってくれることのほうが、私のためにも、日本語を学ぶ皆さんのためにも有意義だと考えて、日本語教師になりました。 When I was thinking about what I would do after retiring from business, the first thing that came to mind was to learn a foreign language and interact with people from other countries. However, I thought that it would be more meaningful for me and for people learning Japanese if I could help many foreigners understand the Japanese language and come to love Japan by teaching it to them.

Certified teacher who not only knows English but also knows how to teach Japanese to English speaker 🎓Bilingual Japanese teacher qualified in Australia I offer native fluency and deep cultural insight, providing authentic and culturally relevant learning materials. I can explain Japanese grammar clearly in English — something teachers without training in English-language instruction, AI tools, and self-study resources often struggle to do. My Western educational background also helps me bridge cultural and linguistic gaps for English-speaking learners. I tailor my lessons to each student's needs, helping them enjoy learning while steadily building their skills. My goal is to help them become confident, independent learners. 📚Over 10 years of teaching experience I have worked with learners from absolute beginners to advanced students (N5–N1), supporting them in achieving their goals for work, JLPT, daily life, etc. My lessons are especially well suited to motivated learners who enjoy taking an active role in their learning. 🎯Two types of lessons. 🔹 Informal Tutoring - Developing verbal communication skills without textbooks or set plans A relaxed space to practise speaking. I correct errors during conversation. This course is only for learners who are already comfortable speaking Japanese. 🔹 Professional Structured Lessons - Developing verbal communication skills while building a strong foundation through lesson plans and learning materials I also assist with homework, proofreading, and exam preparation. 📢Recognising hiragana is essential 🚫No influencers, please!

Stop translating. Start speaking natural Japanese. Hi! I’m a native Japanese tutor living in Germany. I have studied English, German, and Korean, and one thing I have learned is that languages cannot always be translated word for word. Even when a sentence is grammatically correct, it may sound unnatural because every language has its own way of expressing ideas, feelings, and politeness. That is why my lessons focus on natural Japanese for real communication. During our conversations, I can help you with: ✓ Natural expressions ✓ Vocabulary and grammar corrections ✓ Pronunciation and intonation ✓ How a Japanese speaker would express the same idea ✓ Repeated mistakes and useful review points Instead of translating everything from your first language, let’s practice expressing your ideas directly in Japanese. You don’t need perfect Japanese. Let’s turn the Japanese you know into Japanese you can actually use! 日本語 こんにちは。ドイツ在住の日本人チューターです。 私はこれまで英語・ドイツ語・韓国語を学んできました。その中で強く感じたのは、言葉は単語をそのまま置き換えれば自然になるわけではないということです。 文法的には正しくても、文化や場面によっては不自然に聞こえることがあります。 だからこそ私のレッスンでは、「正しい日本語」だけではなく、実際の会話で自然に使える日本語を大切にしています。 会話をしながら、 ✓ 自然な表現 ✓ 語彙・文法の訂正 ✓ 発音・イントネーション ✓ 日本人ならどう表現するか ✓ 繰り返しやすい間違い を一緒に確認します。 母語から一文ずつ訳すのではなく、少しずつ日本語で考え、日本語らしく伝える練習をしていきましょう。 「知っている日本語」を「使える日本語」に変えていきましょう！

I'm Emilie, a passionate teacher from the south of France. ☀️ I hold a bachelor's degree in Language, Literature and Foreign Cultures - Speciality: Japanese, which allowed me to go and improve my skills in a Japanese university for one year as an exchange program student. This unique experience in Japan introduced me to people from all over the world and in addition to Japanese, I deepened my English knowledge by speaking both languages daily. After graduating with a French as Second Language (FSL) university degree, I have decided to return to Japan and start my career. I have taught English in Japanese elementary, secondary, and professional schools. Additionally, French and Japanese private lessons to people of different ages, nationalities, and backgrounds. I am currently living in France, where I have been teaching French and Japanese as second languages on italki since 2020.
