I’m Japanese where I lived my youth then I moved to Brazil. Moving from one country to another help me to understand the importance of learning new languages. My hobbies are clay craft (game characters, anime characters), sewing, watching anime, games, and eating sweets. I love to teach Japanese and about our food, our order and good manners, the anime and manga and many other fantastic oddities that exist only in Japan. We can talk or we can do some reading and comprehension exercises, we can study Kanjis, or follow a text book. Everybody is different and I adapt the classes to meet your needs. If your and advance student preparing to take the N1 or if you had never study Hiragana it would be a pleasure to help you. Once we find the best way for you to learn your classes would be fun and productive.

Chill, Casual, Cheers! Hey there! 👋 Welcome to my profile! I’m a native Japanese speaker currently living in Japan after taking an incredible 1.5-year round-the-world journey through South America, Africa, and Asia. 🌱 A little about my journey: Over the past decade, I’ve explored more than just tourist spots. I’ve lived with the Maasai tribe in Kenya, spent 50days living off the land with indigenous people in the Amazon, practiced Vipassana meditation with monks in Southeast Asia, and hiked solo through Patagonia. I’ve also worked in the TV industry and spent years in tech sales at an international company in Tokyo, working alongside colleagues from all over the world. 💬 Why I’m on italki: Now, as a freelancer in Japan, I’m here because I love sharing ideas, connecting through deep conversations, and learning about different cultures. I don’t treat lessons like formal lectures—think of me as your language buddy and storytelling partner! 🎯 Our lessons are great for you if: You want to level up your natural Japanese conversation skills. You enjoy talking about travel, culture, mindfulness, career, or life philosophies. You want a supportive space where we can easily switch to English whenever you get stuck!

Patient & structured Japanese lessons for beginners | Speak with Japanese & connect with Japan 🌸 Hi, I’m Chihiro—a native Japanese speaker from Nagasaki, living in Australia since 2016. Before starting my teaching journey, I worked as a nurse for many years. Supporting people, listening with empathy, and making others feel comfortable have always been at the heart of what I do. I bring that same patient, caring approach into every single Japanese lesson. Who I Teach I specialize exclusively in teaching adult learners (beginners to lower-intermediate). My lessons are specifically designed for adults who: -Want to speak naturally with their Japanese family members, spouse, or in-laws. -love Japanese culture, history, or language and wish to learn thoroughly. -Appreciate a calm, respectful, and steady learning environment. -Value continuous, long-term progress over quick shortcuts. My Teaching Style & Lessons -Learning a new language as an adult takes time and courage. I aim to provide a safe, encouraging space where you can ask questions freely and learn without pressure. -Structured & Visual: I use clear visual slides and structured materials -Clear English Support: Whenever you feel stuck, I provide clear English explanations so you understand the "why" behind the grammar. A Little About Me Outside teaching, I love learning new languages and subjects, practicing yoga, spending time with animals, and traveling. I truly believe that consistent, quiet effort leads to wonderful results—“Practice makes perfect” is my daily motto! I look forward to meeting you in class!

Let's talk and talk! ◆英語レッスンについて 日本語で、初級~中級の英語学習者のみなさんの、英語学習のお手伝いをします。ネイティブスピーカーと会話して、スピードや音に慣れるのは不可欠ですが、いきなりネイティブと会話しても、文法や基本的なルールの理解が出来ないケースがありますよね。分からないことを分からないと伝えて質問することすら出来ないこともあると思います。まずは母国語でしっかりと知識を定着させることが初学者にとっては大事だと思います。 ◆As for Japanese lesson Basically, my lesson is going to be based on free conversation, then maybe intermediate or advanced Japanese learner would be appreciated. Through the conversation I will show you some new vocabularies, phrases, idioms or even proverbs that are commonly used in our daily conversation. Then you will sound more natural.

    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.

    Learning Japanese

    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

    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!
