The best Japanese tutor for you

Native Japanese speaker from Tokyo, Japan. I focus on natural, practical Japanese that you can actually use in everyday life. My lessons are suitable for beginners and intermediate learners. Complete beginners are very welcome! ＜Please note that all lessons are for learners aged 14 and up. ＞ If there’s a particular topic, movie, or video you’d like to discuss in our lesson, please let me know! I’d love to do some research and prepare so that we can have an interesting and meaningful conversation. For example, you might want to talk about your upcoming trip to Sado Island in Japan next month, or discuss what makes Maul such an interesting character in Star Wars! When I was a child, I lived in Athens, Greece for four years and attended an international school. We can have our lessons in Japanese or English, whichever works best for you. I've been involved in Japanese language teaching for a year and a half in Singapore. I worked at a Japanese university, where I supported international students with their Japanese and everyday life in Japan. I enjoy doing many kinds of crafts including ceramic painting, playing the mandolin, walking in parks, and watching movies. I’d love for our lesson to be a relaxing part of your day, something you can look forward to and genuinely enjoy. I hope to meet you soon and have a fun conversation together!

Let's learn a relaxed and enjoyable way, Studied linguistics in the UK and Slovenia Hello. My name is Mai. I have been interested in languages since I was a child and have been studying foreign languages for many years. As language learning isn’t always plain sailing, I believe I can empathise with how learners feel. In Japan, I taught introductory, beginner and intermediate Japanese courses as part of a training programme. As these were short courses, I worked intensively with the students. In Malaysia, I worked as an assistant to a local teacher at a secondary school. I provided one-to-one tuition to transfer students who had no prior experience of learning Japanese. Currently, I teach mainly online. In my lessons, I cater to learners seeking both short-term and long-term study programmes. Making the most of the benefits of one-to-one tuition, I focus primarily on conversation whilst also covering grammar, reading and writing. I also offer lessons tailored to specific purposes, such as JLPT, Japanese for customer service, academic Japanese and job interviews in Japanese. I will tailor the learning approach to suit your individual needs. Please feel free to get in touch.

Or are you a complete beginner and not sure where to start? 🌱 BEGINNER & INTERMEDIATE GRAMMAR My lessons focus on active output. After learning a grammar point, you’ll make lots of your own sentences and say them out loud. We’ll also use the grammar to talk about yourself and your experiences, so you can learn to use it in real conversation. I use my own PowerPoint materials with illustrations, simple tables, examples, and English notes. We can also use Genki, Minna no Nihongo, or Quartet. 🗣️ CONVERSATION LESSONS For all levels. We can enjoy free conversation, discuss topics that interest you, or read a news article before class, explain it in your own words, and share your opinions. I use a shared Google Doc to note useful vocabulary, natural expressions, and corrections, so you can review them later. 🎓 TEACHING EXPERIENCE I also teach private one-on-one students outside italki and have taught Japanese conversation to students at an Australian high school as part of a school program. 💼 BUSINESS JAPANESE I have experience working at a major Japanese bank and an insurance company, including training new employees. 🌸 RELAXED & SUPPORTIVE I’m calm and patient, and I create a relaxed atmosphere where you can speak without worrying about mistakes.
