My first priority is students' interests and purposes of taking lessons. I'm here to help you attain your goals no matter what they are. I usually take students from intermediate to advanced level speakers since I'm a community tutor who don't have a structured series of courses with textbooks. For completely beginners and those who are younger than 18, I recommend to consider taking lessons with other professional tutors. My classes will also be good for those who are planning to visit Japan since I can provide lots of useful information of sightseeing spots, cultural perspectives and useful greetings/phrases/words as a traveler. 日本の文化や日本に来たときに役に立つあいさつやフレーズを教えることもできます。

English & Japanese teacher | IELTS, TOEFL, Job Interview & Academic Success Coach My lessons are fully in English and focused on your real goals — from passing international exams (IELTS, TOEFL) to preparing for job interviews or improving spoken skills. Many of my students have entered universities, changed careers, or been promoted after our work together. I adapt the pace to your comfort and always explain things clearly. You're in a safe space to make mistakes and grow. *** Занятия полностью проходят на английском. Ученики успешно поступают в вузы, сдают экзамены, проходят интервью и растут в карьере. Всегда подстраиваюсь под ваш ритм, создаю поддержку и понятно объясняю. Ошибки — часть роста, и на занятиях вы в безопасности.

Since 2010 I've empowered great learners through language learning - no matter the level! As a teacher, I plan my lessons based on my experience as an educator and academic researcher. I'm always working to reshape and innovate my teaching methods according to the latest scientific research in language learning and teaching. I collaborate closely with my students, giving them constructive feedback and identifying areas for improvement. This helps them develop strong communication skills and succeed in their exams.

Native Japanese 🇯🇵 | KR/EN OK 🌿 Practical Japanese for Work & Daily Life I was born and raised in Japan and now live in Korea. I have taught 500+ Japanese lessons online and bring 15+ years of experience in IT and corporate training to my lessons. My lessons are for: • Beginners who want a calm, step-by-step start • Learners who want to speak more confidently in daily life, travel, hobbies, or work • Students preparing for the JLPT or looking for systematic study • Intermediate and advanced learners who want relaxed speaking practice • Anyone who would like support in Korean or English We start by checking your goals and level. Depending on your needs, we use materials such as GENKI, Marugoto, or Fun & Easy Japanese, or practice free conversation. During lessons, I type key vocabulary, useful phrases, and corrections into a Google Doc for easy review. I'm a language learner too. I started studying Korean in 2024 and passed TOPIK Level 5 in about 9 months, so I understand how difficult it can be to speak a foreign language. Please feel free to make mistakes! 😊 일본에서 태어나 자랐으며 현재 한국에 거주하고 있습니다. 온라인으로 500회 이상의 일본어 레슨을 진행했으며, IT 및 기업 교육 분야에서 15년 이상의 경험을 쌓았습니다. 이런 분께 추천합니다: • 편안한 분위기에서 일본어를 차근차근 배우고 싶은 초보자 • 일상생활, 여행, 취미, 업무 등에서 일본어를 더 자신 있게 말하고 싶은 분 • JLPT를 준비하거나 체계적으로 공부하고 싶은 분 • 편안한 대화를 통해 말하기 실력을 높이고 싶은 중·고급 학습자 • 한국어나 영어로 설명을 듣고 싶은 분 학습 목표와 수준에 맞춰 교재를 활용하거나 프리토킹을 진행합니다. 수업 중에는 중요한 단어와 표현, 교정 내용을 Google Docs에 정리해 드려 수업 후에도 쉽게 복습할 수 있습니다. 저 역시 외국어 학습자입니다. 2024년에 한국어 공부를 시작해 약 9개월 만에 TOPIK 5급을 취득했습니다. 틀리는 것을 걱정하지 말고 편하게 이야기해 주세요! 😊

Japanese teacher with a linguistics background. Helping you build confidence in Japanese Have you been studying Japanese, but still don’t feel confident speaking it? Hello! I'm Kana, a Japanese teacher who specializes in helping beginners build a strong foundation so they can communicate naturally. I majored in linguistics and have studied four foreign languages myself, so I understand that every learner has different goals, challenges, and ways of learning. As someone who is currently learning Spanish myself, I also understand both the excitement and the frustration of learning a new language. My priority is to create a relaxed and supportive environment where you can feel comfortable making mistakes. Making mistakes is a natural part of learning, and every mistake is a step toward speaking more confidently. You don't need perfect Japanese to communicate or connect with people. I want you to experience the joy of connecting with others through Japanese without worrying about making mistakes. Every lesson is personalized to match your goals, learning style, and pace. I combine clear grammar lessons with practical conversation practice to help you build a strong foundation and the confidence to use Japanese naturally. Whether you're just starting your Japanese journey, want to improve your conversation skills, or are preparing for the JLPT, I'll tailor every lesson to help you reach your goals. Let's enjoy learning Japanese together, and turn it into a language you can use with confidence. I'd love to help you achieve your Japanese goals!

I tutored at a community college in the U.S. for 8 years. I also assisted in a Japanese class and led a conversation group. Since the pandemic, I’ve taught Japanese privately to learners in their 20s to 70s. Helping Japanese classes in the U.S. led me to become a tutor. Seeing students work hard inspired me to support them using my strengths. Many of my students continue with me for months or years. I create relaxed, supportive lessons that are easy to continue. In my lessons, I focus on “level + 1” content that fits each student. Not too easy, not too hard — just the right challenge. My motto is fun and practical! Mistakes are welcome. Let’s talk a lot and learn natural Japanese! 😊
