In my trial lesson, I'll ask about your study history, goals, and preferred learning style.

I'll also need to check your current level, but don't worry! This is just to help me create the best learning plan and choose the right materials for you. ^^

You'll also get to try an actual lesson — free talk, plus a bit more.

This lesson is focused on the speaking part, but you might need to improve your listening skill at the same time, so I'll probably use materials for that as well.

If you're not confident with the alphabet (hiragana/katakana), and you're not able to catch simple words such as "inu," "neko," "ie," etc., and you haven't studied basic Japanese grammar yet, I'd recommend starting with my basic Japanese class instead. ^^

今のレベルに応じて、どのようなレッスンになるか決まります。
例えば、60分のレッスンの中でフリートークのみの場合もあれば、必要があれば、リーディングや文法なども教えます。

#1 Notice — Speaking Lesson (A2 and Above) For learners who have already learned the basics

You can learn Japanese from zero.

This lesson is friendly for beginners, as well as advanced learners who want to work on grammar, reading, listening, writing, and speaking.

It's suitable for those preparing for tests such as the JLPT and university entrance exams. JLPT levels N5 through N1 are all available.

We'll use online materials and PDFs, along with textbooks such as Minna no Nihongo and Marugoto. I'll explain grammar points and helpful tips to help you pass your test.

Some of my students have recently passed N1, as well as other levels. N5 is the first big step, so I'll guide you carefully and patiently to make sure you don't give up along the way.

I can teach in English to some extent, but if you already have a basic level of Japanese, you'll understand the material better and progress faster.
