🏆 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.

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 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.
