よろしくおねがいします

This is my most popular course with the highest number of repeat students.

This course uses the textbook Minna no Nihongo and goes beyond simply solving problems. Lessons include grammar explanations, basic practice, and applied practice. Each chapter also covers new adverbs and adjectives in detail, helping students build a solid foundation that will be useful at the intermediate level and beyond. Although the lesson plan was completed more than three years ago, I continue to refine and improve it almost daily.

In addition, flashcards for the vocabulary lists in each chapter are provided free of charge.
To reinforce learning, I also provide applied practice problems, quizzes after every lesson, and optional audio homework.

There are three types of lesson plans available:

Standard type

Kanji-focused type for motivated learners

Fully kanji-based type designed for students of Chinese descent

Note: If you do not own the textbook, I can send you a photo of the first lesson’s page. However, please purchase or borrow the textbook later. Without it, valuable class time may be wasted on oral explanations, and we may have to skip textbook exercises.

”みんなの日本語” コース

レッスンで使っている本
・みんなの日本語中級１
・中級から学ぶ日本語　三訂版

”みんなの日本語中級”ではN3の内容になります。一気にハイレベルになりますが、心配いりません。少しずつ詳しく簡単に説明しながらレッスンします。
各教科書では副詞や、教科書で解説されていないのに載っている文法を解説します。中級になると各進出語彙の意味や英語に直訳してもいいのか、などを解説します。

また漢字が苦手な生徒、漢字をかなり勉強している生徒、中華系の漢字をできる限り使ってほしい生徒、これら3タイプの生徒に合わせた教案を用意しています。どのくらい漢字が読めるかレッスンの前に教えてください。


In ”みんなの日本語中級１” the content will be at the N3 level. It may seem like a big step, but there's no need to worry. I will explain step by step in detail during the lessons.

In each textbook, I will explain adverbs and grammar that are not covered in the textbook. As you progress to the intermediate level, I will also explain the meanings of various advanced vocabulary and whether they can be directly translated into English.

I have prepared lesson plans tailored to three types of students: those who struggle with kanji, those who have studied kanji quite a bit, and those who prefer to use Chinese characters as much as possible. Please let me know how much kanji you can read before the lesson.

教科書を使ったレッスン　Lesson Using Textbooks

This course is a small-group lesson.
You can study with a textbook, enjoy free conversation, and even ask for advice.

Do you think one-on-one lessons are always better?
Actually, group lessons have many advantages!
You can get inspiration from other learners, notice both good and weak points, and learn from each other.
We also include conversation activities between students, which sometimes work even better than only practicing with a teacher.

Lesson fees
・2 students: $40
・3 students: $55
・4 students: $70
For 5 or more students, please contact us.
👉Special offer: The first 60-minute lesson is only $10 (up to 4 students).

We recommend the Minna no Nihongo group course. We also offer custom courses, for example: 15 minutes of grammar, 35 minutes of free conversation, and the last 10 minutes for review.

Small-Group Japanese Lessons (with Trial Available)　　※This group's schedule is opened flexibly to accommodate students' requests as much as possible.

このレッスンでは自由に色々な事を話します。できるだけ生徒が話してください。
先生は生徒が間違えたらどんどんドキュメントに書いていきます。間違えるたびにレッスンを止めて解説してほしい生徒と、会話はそのまま進めて後でチェックしたい生徒がいますので、あなたはどちらがいいか私に伝えてください。


In this lesson, we will talk about various topics freely. Please speak as much as possible during the lesson. As a teacher, I will jot down mistakes you make in the document as much as possible. Please let me know if you prefer me to stop the lesson and provide explanations each time you make a mistake, or if you prefer to continue the conversation and check the mistakes later.

一緒にがんばりましょう！

日本語の会話  Free conversation　N5-N1

This course is perfect for you!

We will use the textbook JLPT N4 Grammar Speed Master, but it’s totally fine whether you buy it or not.

Studying on your own right after Minna no Nihongo may still be a bit early. Many learners also say that the next step textbooks feel too difficult when they first open them.
That’s why I carefully created a lesson plan that reviews grammar and vocabulary not fully covered in Minna no Nihongo, in a way that is as simple and clear as possible.

By the end of this course, you will be ready to start N3-level study with confidence and ease!

What you will get:
・Vocabulary lists shared on Google Docs before each lesson
・Small quizzes after every lesson
・Extra grammar handouts with audio files after each grammar section
