“Comfortable, Encouraging, and Productive” and This is not from me My students often describe my lessons as comfortable, encouraging, and productive. I want you to feel at ease speaking Korean, while also knowing that you're making real progress. My classes combine: - Clear explanations, - Practical conversation, - A relaxed atmosphere where you can ask questions and make mistakes without feeling pressured. We won't just memorize grammar rules. We'll break down confusing concepts, practice building sentences, and review useful expressions so you can actually use what you've learned. Whether you're a beginner or want to speak more naturally, we'll find an approach that fits your goals and pace. Let's make Korean make sense—and enjoy learning together 私のレッスンでは、分かりやすい説明、実践的な会話練習、そしてリラックスして学べる雰囲気を大切にしています。プレッシャーを感じることなく、質問したり、間違いを恐れずに話したりできる環境を目指しています。 文法のルールを暗記するだけではありません。分かりにくい文法や表現を一つひとつ分かりやすく解説し、文章を作る練習や、役に立つ表現の復習を通して、学んだことを実際の会話で使えるようにしていきます。 ある生徒さんからは、「先生はとても親しみやすく、韓国語を話すときに安心できる」との感想をいただきました。また、別の生徒さんからは、「レッスンがよく整理されていて、充実していた」と評価していただきました。 私が大切にしているのは、リラックスして学びながら、内容をしっかり理解し、毎回のレッスンで何か役立つことを身につけられることです。 韓国語を初めて学ぶ方も、もっと自然に話せるようになりたい方も、それぞれの目標やペースに合った学習方法を一緒に見つけていきましょう。 韓国語を「なるほど!」と思える学びに。そして、一緒に楽しく学んでいきましょう!

Absolute beginners are welcome😊 Let's study Japanese language and the culture behind it together! Born in Tokyo and raised in Kanagawa, I now call Oregon home after moving from Japan a few years ago. As an intercultural communication specialist (BA & MA), I love bridging cultures through language—especially with beginners! When not teaching, I’m baking, binge-watching shows, sewing, or traveling. I love animals (I have 6 fur babies), and your pets are welcome to join lessons anytime to make learning relaxed and fun. Let’s explore Japanese language *and* culture together! 東京生まれ、神奈川育ち、数年前からオレゴン在住です。国際文化学専攻(学士・修士)の経験を活かし、初心者にも優しく日本語と文化を教えています。レッスン以外ではお菓子作りや旅行、Netflix鑑賞をしていることが多いです。動物が好きなので(6匹飼っています)、ペットと一緒にレッスンに参加するのも大歓迎です!リラックスした雰囲気で、一緒に楽しく学びましょう! I started teaching Japanese in 2013 as a volunteer in my hometown, and completed all the requirements of the Japanese Language Teacher Training Course in 2020. I have met people from more than 30 countries through this teaching career so far and I really enjoy teaching the language and the culture. 2013年に地元でボランティア講師として日本語を教え始め、2020年に日本語教師の資格を取得しました。日本語を教えることを通じて今まで30カ国以上の人に出会い、日本語と日本の文化を教えることをとても楽しんでいます。 Because italki is mainly for private lessons, I would like to focus on what and how the students want to study. I think studying Japanese in Japanese is a bit too hard sometimes (especially for beginners), so I would love to help students by using English if needed. If you are interested in my lessons, please feel free to message me. For the cancellation policy, please check the lesson booking page.

拥有超过十三年对外汉语教学经验! An excellent teacher needs not only a solid foundation in the language, enthusiasm, self confidence, lively and interesting lesson plans but they also need to understand the correct methods for learning(teaching) a language. During my TESOL training I learnt the theory of how our brain and body learn languages. I also learnt more than thirty different excellent teaching methods from all over the world. I have since used these methods in my everyday teaching and found them to be really effective. Over the past eight years I’ve taught more than 500 different students with ages ranging from 2 to 70 plus years.

Wherever you are in your Japanese journey, I'll get you to that 'wait, I understood that!' moment! ■ About Me Hi everyone, I’m Mayumi, but you can call me May! I’ve been teaching Japanese in Melbourne, Australia for 10+ years and am proud to be ranked in the top 1% of Japanese teachers on italki. I also have experience as an instructor for Japanese Teacher Training Courses. Before teaching, I worked for 8 years as an Executive Assistant at a major gaming company in Tokyo, so I can help with not only daily conversation, but also Business Japanese, polite expressions, and workplace manners for those planning to live, study, or work in Japan. I’m relaxed, friendly, and easy-going, and I love making your Japanese journey fun and rewarding. ■ Lesson Style I always take time to understand each student’s goals and learning style, then create lessons that match their needs. My classes are enjoyable, stress-free, and easy to follow, helping students feel confident to participate. My teaching style is mainly Japanese-only, adjusted to your level, but English explanations are also available when needed. ■ How I Can Help You I teach a wide range of Japanese skills, from beginner conversation to advanced speaking, Business Japanese, and practical communication. I speak clearly, provide visual materials (especially for beginners), and focus on speaking practice with natural correction to improve fluency and confidence. My goal is that after every lesson, you leave with something useful you can use in real life! I am looking forward to meeting you soon :)

    I highly recommend Hina Sensei for anyone who is looking to seriously improve their language skills, whether through the JLPT or otherwise. Thanks to Hina Sensei’s well structured lessons and thoughtful feedback, I’ve been able to make more progress than I thought possible. As a person who best learns by doing, I can read textbook explanations and examples all day and not truly understand. But Hina Sensei’s lessons always make me directly engage with the material right away and I learn so much faster this way. Hina Sensei also has tons of in-depth knowledge of the JLPT and learning and putting her strategies into action is really helping me improve. I know this test is a big challenge for me but with Hina Sensei’s guidance I think I’ve got a chance 😊

    We went through more reading strategies today. It was really hopeful to know how to read faster for different types of questions. Chieko’s lesson is always very structured where we go through the theory before diving into the practical and wrapping up with a summary. She’s also very encouraging despite me not being 100% sure and guessing answers which makes me feel at ease. When there is a word I don’t know she also encourages me think what it means as there are probably plenty of words in the JLPT that I won’t know.

    Dear Hana Sensei, It has been a true honor and privilege to take lessons with Hana sensei. She has gotten me more in touch with my Japanese cultural heritage dating back to when my Japanese grandfather first journeyed from Hiroshima to California in 1900. She has been my inspiration to learn Japanese at a higher level continue my learning journey. Currently, I have taken more than 105 weekly lessons. During these lessons, I have learned about Japanese culture, customs, daily life, and how to communicate in Japanese! I have enjoyed my lessons so much that I am striving to one day take the JLPT examination, a comprehensive Japanese language proficiency test. Thank so much for making learning Japanese exceptionally fun and rewarding! I can’t wait for next week’s learning experience! Take care. ~ Debbie

During the first class, we talked and decided on the type of conversation I wanted, and I chose mostly freestyle unless I have no topics. The class is very fun but extremely helpful! While we're talking, sensei is writing everything I say. After 20 minutes or so, before I change the topic, we go over what I've said and correct it one by one. Sensei gives color-coded feedback and explanation when needed! Soyoko sensei's feedback is extremely detailed, exactly what I wanted and more! Thank you sensei! see you next class :D

    Kyouko is an amazing Japanese teacher! She has been of great assistance helping me to develop confidence in my speaking. She truly cares about her student's progress and has developed materials and roleplaying exercises tailored to my specific needs. I highly recommend her as a teacher.

    Lessons with Anri先生 are very good. She is always prepared and never late to our classes. I often feel encouraged to try my best and speak even if I am not sure if I am correct. In case of any mistakes, the are explained in understandable way. The atmosphere is also very friendly. I really enjoy our lessons, I feel motivated to continue my learning and I can see my level raising from lesson to lesson. Highly recommended!

    11번째 수업을 마쳤는데, 매번 성과를 느끼고 있습니다. 다소 부족한 어휘력 탓에 서투르게 표현해도 찰떡같이 이해해 주십니다. 문법적인 질문에도 세심하게 답해 주셔서 도움이 됩니다. 단순히 회화 횟수를 채우는 것을 넘어, 저의 실력을 한 단계 도약시켰다고 생각합니다. 하즈키 선생님은 일본어 공부 향상을 도와줄 수 있는 좋은 튜터입니다. 앞으로도 수업은 계속 이어받을 생각입니다.

    独学でJLPT N1に合格した後、次はどうやってネイティブレベルに近づいていけばいいのか相談したくて、こうすけ先生を選びました。 最初のレッスンでは、一緒に自分の改善点や癖を見つけ、今後のレッスンプランを立てていただきました。また、レッスンプランに沿って進めるだけでなく、日本での日々の生活の中で感じた疑問や、日本語についての質問にも柔軟に答えていただいています。 毎回楽しく話しながら、自分でも少しずつ「ネイティブレベル」という大きな目標に近づいていると感じています。 初心者だけではなく、すでにN2やN1レベルの上級日本語を身につけている方にも、こうすけ先生のレッスンをおすすめします!

    As always, we started our lesson with conversation practice. Yukie-sensei is so helpful when I’m trying to form sentences correctly. She also takes notes on our conversations and sends them after each lesson, which is really useful for reviewing! Today, she used drawings to explain the difference between に (ni) and へ (e), which made it so much easier to understand. I really appreciate the care she puts into her explanations and how she makes grammar practice fun and engaging.

    先生の親しみやすさとプロ意識がとても好きです!いつもリラックスした雰囲気で、文章の修正やネイティブらしい自然なニュアンスを教えてくださいます。 レッスンでは日本語のちょっとしたコツだけでなく、日本人の思考パターンに合わせた文章の書き方や、相手に伝わりやすいコミュニケーションの方法まで学べます。 単に日本語を鍛えるだけでなく、「自分が本当に伝えたいことは何なのか」を深く理解し、その中から重要なポイントを絞り込んで相手に伝えるプロセスを学べました。 自分の考えをどうすれば効果的に伝えられるかを知ることができ、語学の学習以上にとても大切な学びが得られる素晴らしいレッスンです!
