Friendly Certified Japanese Teacher From Osaka Hi! I’m Hazuki from Osaka, Japan. I speak English and Spanish and am currently teaching at a school in Spain. I’ve been teaching Japanese on iTalki since 2020 and love helping students speak confidently while having fun! I love traveling, listening to music, meeting new people, and learning about different cultures🌸 I have been teaching Japanese on Italki since 2020. Since I loved this job, I quit my corporate job and completed a 420-hour teaching certification course. As I believe learning should be enjoyable and relaxed, I try to create a fun learning environment. Since I've learned Spanish, I know how hard it is to learn other languages. Let's make your Japanese learning journey enjoyable together! My lessons will be mostly conversational based as I believe speaking is a fundamental part of any language. I correct mistakes, help improve accents, teach new vocabulary, based on your level of Japanese and interests. I believe that making mistakes is an important part of learning. Since I studied languages myself, I understand how challenging learning a language can be. So I like to provide a fun, relaxed and informal environment.

🎁 Free Study Materials!| Aim to be UNDERSTOOD 🗣️ Speaking-focused + detailed feedback 🇯🇵 こんにちは! I'm Taichiro, from Osaka, Japan — now living in Malta 🇲🇹 After graduating from university, I spent 4 years in corporate sales in Japan, then lived in the Philippines, Canada, and Australia before settling in Malta. That mix gave me both an "inside" and "outside" view of Japanese society. Here's what really drives me. As a learner myself, I know the feeling of wondering whether a textbook or anime phrase is something people truly say. I want to help you find the real, living version of Japanese. 🎁 TRIAL LESSON GIFT Take a trial lesson and get a tailored PDF gift! I'll select the best material for your level, from phrase sheets to grammar drills. ― MY LESSONS: SPEAK FIRST, POLISH LATER ― ▶ Talk in class, get detailed feedback after I won't fix every little mistake while you talk. Speak freely; after class, I'll send a detailed Review Sheet with natural phrasing and tips from our conversation. ▶ Don't fear mistakes — perfect isn't the point You don't need perfect grammar here. Mistakes are part of it. If I understand you, that's already a win. ▶ Tailored to you, down to how I speak I adjust not just our topics, but how I speak — my pace, word choice, even Kansai dialect — to match where you are. ― ― ― Whether you want to just talk and build confidence, or dig into the nuances behind the words — what natives really feel, and the culture underneath — there's a lesson here for that. Take a look and pick whatever fits you. Looking forward to talking with you!
