专门教小孩学日语 我会按照学生的年龄和性格,每个孩子的能力调整学习的内容和教材。为了小朋友开心学习,我自己准备了使用很多图片的教材。 可以从平假名开始学习,也可以先学习简单的单词,寒暄语等等。也可以帮助住在日本的小朋友适应学校生活。需要的话可以帮助学生看学校的作业。 我会用日语教学,不过学生需要的时候会说中文解释。 上课之前我会发给家长教材的一部分,先一起商量一下学什么内容。(我会中文可以与家长交流) 🌟"约课之前"一定先给我发信息商量一下。 🌟一节课25分钟 ➡请选30分钟课程。两节课50分钟 ➡请选45分钟课程。不用选60分钟课程。 🌟约课的时候请约整点(例如...要选13:00,13:30开始,不要选13:15,13:45开始) それぞれの年齢や性格、能力に合わせて学ぶ内容、教材を調整します。子供たちが楽しく学べるように、挿絵中心とした教材を独自で準備しています。 ひらがな学習から始めることもできますし、簡単な単語を学んで自然な会話練習をすることもできます。日本で生活している子供たちが、学校生活に馴染めるようなサポートもできます。必要であれば、学校の宿題のお手伝いも可能です。 レッスンの際は日本語で行いますが、必要な部分があれば中国語で説明できます。 レッスンの前に教材のサンプルを送りますので、何を勉強するか事前に話し合いましょう。(中国語でのコミュニケーションができます) 🌟"予約の前"に必ずメールでご連絡ください。

Japanese for Adults | Supportive Tutor with a Background in Psychology. Let's begin!! Are you looking for a fulfilling new hobby to enrich your life? I have taught Japanese language, culture, and ways of thinking to many learners. My conversational lessons use "やさしい日本語(Simple Japanese)," covering both polite and informal expressions. Therefore, my lessons are geared towards mature learners in their 40s and 50s who enjoy the process of exploration, whether for travel, cultural interest, or intellectual challenge. Of course, I also provide preparation for those who wish to take the JLPT. I value the joy of understanding a new language and expressing oneself beautifully and naturally. I will help you enjoy every moment of the lesson. Let's begin a fulfilling new chapter together! I am a professional Japanese language teacher who has taught over 1,100 lessons. I have completed a 420-hour Japanese language teacher training course. I understand the challenges of learning a new language later in life. However, having transitioned myself to teaching Japanese at the age of 60, I think that it's never too late to take on a new challenge. With my background in psychology, I support my students' motivation and emotional well-being as well as teaching grammar. My teaching approach is based on the concept of "やさしい日本語", which is a considerate communication method designed to facilitate effective and stress-free interaction. [Lesson Style] -Slow, kind, and easy to follow -Friendly support for learners in their 40s and 50s -English support available when needed

音楽のように日本語のリズムを教えることができるプロ講師 東京出身の日本語教師です。標準語の発音と、音楽的なリズムで「自然な日本語」を指導するのが得意!ピアノ経験を活かし、言葉のイントネーションをメロディのように教えます。石油会社や接客業でのビジネス経験もあり、丁寧な敬語や実践的な会話もサポート可能。韓国語学留学経験から、外国語学習の大変さも共感できます。趣味はドラマ鑑賞とガーデニングで、レッスンではあなたの「好き」を教材にすることも!おっちょこちょいですが、授業は真剣。多様な国の生徒さんと話すのが生きがいです♪ オンライン授業は1対1ですからなるべくその人に合わせた楽しい授業になるように、そして学習者が少しでも多く楽しく、自分の話ができるように心がけます。今は日本語学校で2つのクラスを担当しています。どのようにすればより楽しく、より理解しやすいかを考えながら教材を準備しています。講師と生徒ですが、友達のように、信頼感のある関係が作れたらいいと考えます。私は子供の頃からピアノを習っていたので音感があります。楽譜が読める人には日本語特有のリズムやイントネーションを、音楽のように伝えることができます。楽譜が読めなくても、私の真似をすれば大丈夫です。間違えることは覚える第一歩ですから、恥ずかしがらずにチャレンジしてほしいと思います。 初級では文法のレッスンが欠かせませんから、リピート練習、代入練習としっかり順番に練習して最後は自分の言葉で言いたいことが言えるレッスンを。初中級、中級ではある程度自由に話せるようになりますから、前半はトピックを選んでそれについて自由に話し、後半は新しい文法を導入する形式で。上級では文章の読解や、発音、イントネーションを細かく指導してネイティブのような自然な会話ができるようにサポートします。教材は、絵が多くて会話の自由度が高い「できる日本語」をメインテキストに、オリジナルのPowerPoint教材もたくさん用意しています。他の教科書をすでにお持ちの場合はご相談ください。レッスンのリスケジュールは24時間前までは無料で何度でも受け付けます。24時間を切るとレッスン料金が発生します。基本的に自分の意志で日本語を勉強したいと考える大人の方を対象にしています。私は英語はそれほど得意ではありませんが、指示を出したり、単語の説明などは簡単な英語ですることができます。翻訳機もありますので初級の方も心配せずにトライアルしてみてください。

Let's enjoy studying Japanese! 翻訳の仕事をしているので日本語の細かいニュアンスを伝えることができます。以前はホテルで働いていたので丁寧な日本語も教えることができます。特にフランス語圏の方につきましては間違いやすいポイントを知っていますので初級から上級者の方に対応いたします。 J'enseigne souvent le japonais surtout à mes amis francophones. Je connais donc les points dans lesquels les Francophones ont tendance à se tromper. Comme je travaille en tant que traducteur, je peux transmettre les nuances subtiles du japonais. Je peux aussi enseigner le japonais poli grâce à mon expérience dans l’hôtellerie. I have been teaching Japanese on Italki since August. And since I work as a translator, I can explain the subtle nuances of Japanese. I can also teach polite Japanese thanks to my experience in the hotel business.

My lessons focus on practical conversation in a relaxed and friendly atmosphere, so you can speak naturally and confidently.

As you get more comfortable, we can talk about your interests, your country, or anything you like. I will support you, correct your mistakes, and help you speak more naturally. You don’t need to be perfect—just relax and enjoy speaking Japanese 😊 I enjoy cooking, manga, anime, walking, and jogging (I especially love manga!). I studied Buddhism at university and am interested in simple living inspired by Zen. I love talking with people from different countries about language, culture, and life. こんにちは!埼玉に住んでいる日本語教師のかずきです。 italkiで4年、日本語学校で3年、日本語を教えています。 リラックスした雰囲気の中で、自然に自信をもって話せる会話練習を大切にしています。 レッスンでは、まず ・どこに住んでいますか ・あなたの国は暑いですか/寒いですか ・おすすめの食べ物は何ですか などの簡単なトピックから始めます。 慣れてきたら、趣味や国のことなど、好きなことを自由に話しましょう。 間違いもサポートしながら、より自然に話せるようお手伝いします。 日本語が完璧でなくても大丈夫です。リラックスして話しましょう😊 私は料理、マンガ・アニメ、散歩、ジョギングが好きで、特にマンガが大好きです。 大学では仏教を学び、禅の考え方に興味があります。 いろいろな国の人と、言語だけでなく文化や人生について話すのが好きです。

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.
