🏆 JLPT & Conversation | ~20 Years of Professional Experience | 99% Japanese — No English Needed! Hi Lessons taught 99% in Japanese — really, it is completely fine without English! Why not challenge yourself to speak strictly in Japanese for just 30 minutes a week? I am professionally trained to teach Japanese in Japanese, using illustrations, gestures, and simple words you already know. In just a few interactions, I can pinpoint the exact level of Japanese you understand. Can you say "tabemasu" (eat) or "ikimasu" (go)? That is more than enough. If you know basic verbs, we can communicate 99% in Japanese. With around 20 years of experience, I know how to guide you smoothly. What about the remaining 1%? If you get stuck, a translation app resolves it in seconds — problem solved, and class goes on! My English? Work in progress. 😅 Your Japanese? Same! That is why we make the best team — Japanese alone is all you need. Preparing for the JLPT? That is my specialty and most booked lesson (100+ conducted!). From N5 grammar to N1 reading strategies, let’s build a plan to pass. I also speak Korean! I passed TOPIK Level 6 twice (equivalent to JLPT N1). Surprisingly, my speaking is actually intermediate. Why did I pass? As an instructor, I know test techniques. 😮 But I also put in massive effort! 😁 I fully understand the frustration of learning a language and memorizing grammar rules. That is why I can support your goal to speak Japanese. I look forward to speaking Japanese with you in class! 한국인 여러분, 부담 없이 찾아와 주세요! 한국어 사용 여부는 원하시는 대로 결정합니다. 🤗 한자어의 공통점을 활용해 효율적으로 지도해 드립니다.

Good lessons make you forget you're studying. こんにちは! I'm Aki. I help learners become more comfortable with Japanese by using it together in a relaxed, natural way. In my lessons, we focus on expressions that people actually use. You'll hear them, use them, and gradually become familiar with them through conversation. If you're a beginner, I'll prepare simple notes to help you follow along. After conversation lessons, I'll also send you useful words and expressions from our lesson so you can review them later or add them to your own flashcards. I've taught students from many countries and backgrounds, and I've learned that everyone learns differently. Rather than following a fixed method, I adjust each lesson to suit you, your level, and what you want to achieve. My goal is simple: to help you feel more at ease using Japanese in everyday situations and enjoy the process of getting there.

「褒めるばかりで、直してもらえない。」 度々お聞きします。ネイティブ並みを目指す方。発音アクセント・イントネーションを重点に、ていねいに指導・訓練します。 正確な文法、豊富な語彙を備えながら、話し方のせいで母語で話しているときの知的な印象が無くなり、子供っぽく感じる方にたくさんお会いしてきました。 発音矯正を重視し、洗練された話し方を練習します。そして教養や感性を伝えるためにはそれを表す語彙が必要ですので、たくさんの表現方法を覚えていただけるよう、より豊かな日本語へと導きます。 言葉は知性、品性を表します。教養にふさわしい知的な話し方は訓練で身につけられます。 これから40年、50年日本語を使っていくのですから、今の流行りの話し方ではなく、一生使える日本語を覚えていただきます。目標はどこに出ても恥ずかしくない言葉使いを身に着けていただくことです。 作文コースではプロの文筆家として、日本語で表現をしたい方、論文、大切な人への手紙など、伝えたいことを力強く支援します。ネイティブチェックも高い品質で行います。 With my experience as a presenter in NHK programs, I can teach you how to present yourself. Kimberleeさんからいただいたレビュー 今日もありがとうございました。大変勉強になりました。It is difficult to find a teacher who not only gives precise and detailed feedback on pitch, intonation, and pacing, but provides corrections. Many instructors don't correct students on pronunciation, or if they do they have trouble articulating how mistakes should be corrected. Mao-sensei always listens carefully and provides precise feedback. She is patient and kind, but does not let mistakes "slide;" something which I really appreciate.I look forward to continuing my studies, and hopefully learning more work phrases to help me in my daily life.

U.S -Based Linguist, Medical Interpreter, TESOL Chinese/Japanese/English Professional Teacher I hold two Masters degrees from the University of Colorado - Japanese Language and Civilization, and Linguistics. The former provided me with extensive training in translation, interpretation, and literary analysis from both historical and modern perspectives. Linguistics offered me the theoretical and practical basis for teaching a foreign language. I am especially interested in applying phonetic and phonological strategies to classroom teaching in order to prepare students for a native-like pronunciation and intuition. I am a native Chinese Mandarin speaker with Japanese heritage. With the educational training mentioned above, I am capable of teaching both languages.
