JLPT N1/N2 Reading Strategy|Structured Exam Preparation My teaching style is analytical, structured, and goal-oriented. Students say I explain grammar clearly, but what makes my lessons different is the strategy training for JLPT reading. We don’t just read. We break down the structure of the text. We learn how exam questions are created. We practice solving efficiently. Advanced Japanese is abstract and layered. I teach you how to navigate that complexity. Mistakes are welcome — they are clues to improve your score.

🌸Your Safe Space to Practice | English Support Available🌸 Konnichiwa☺️ I’m Risa, a certified native Japanese teacher based in Tokyo🗼 With a background in marketing and international business development, I spent several years living in Thailand and Singapore. As a language learner myself, I know learning a new language can be challenging, but it is truly life-changing. It has broadened my horizons! Inspired by how language learning changed my own life, after passing the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test, I began my journey as a teacher to help my students open new doors through Japanese. ⭐️My Teaching Approach My lessons focus on communication. If you'd like to use a textbook, I'm happy to do so, but it's not necessary. I prepare lesson notes for you, so you can focus on speaking during class instead of taking notes. After each lesson, I'll send you a summary of what we learned, including new vocabulary, grammar, and useful expressions. I believe consistency is the key to language learning, and the best way to stay consistent is to enjoy the process. My goal is to make each lesson something you look forward to as part of your daily life. Please feel free to send me a message or book a trial lesson. I look forward to meeting you✨ A little more about me: - I enjoy exploring new places and have visited 🇹🇭🇸🇬🇺🇸🇹🇼🇰🇷🇻🇳🇮🇩🇬🇧🇲🇾🇮🇹🇵🇱🇨🇿🇦🇹🇸🇰🇭🇺! - I sometimes work as a walking tour guide in Tokyo, too. I'd love to help make your trip to Japan special!

    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

    This is my second (and certainly not last) "Refining Your Japanese: Mastering Natural Expression" class. I took this class because I wanted detailed feedback on the mistakes I frequently make. 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

    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.

    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.

Is a Japanese tutor worth it?

There are plenty of advantages to learning Japanese with a private tutor. It is widely believed that this is the most efficient way to learn this Asian language since your tutor is focused on working only with you, correcting your mistakes, and helping you improve with every lesson. And with the help of the Internet, you can even find a native Japanese tutor and take private Japanese lessons online.
Taking Japanese lessons online allows you to study at your most convenient time and place. You can connect with your teacher online via Zoom, Skype, or another mobile application from anywhere in the world. Unlike attending traditional language classes, you will find it easy to do your online studies without disrupting your daily schedules. Also, taking Japanese lessons online allows you to hire a native Japanese tutor even if you’re not located in Japan or another Asian country.
Moreover, hiring an online Japanese teacher is preferred over the conventional language courses because a private tutor can create Japanese lessons plan tailored specifically to you and based on your current level. During the one-on-one lessons, they will focus only on you, unlike in a traditional classroom where the teacher’s attention is divided between all their students. Studying with a Japanese tutor will also help you to gain more confidence and insight knowledge of the language. You and your tutor will engage in real-life conversations and practice your speaking skills in common daily situations. In this way, you’ll learn Japanese more efficiently and gain valuable practical experience. And last but not least, your Japanese tutor will always encourage you to overcome your difficulties and keep improving your language skills.
Finding the right Japanese teacher can be a difficult task. There are many elements to take into account before you make your final decision: their experience, their native language, the teaching materials they are using, and so on. Therefore, you should do your research and carefully consider the Japanese tutor you want to study with. Fortunately, on italki, you will find more than 1,000 Japanese tutors and all the tools to make the right choice.
