Speak Japanese with Confidence | Clear, Structured Lessons for Adult Learners Hi, I’m Satsuki, a professional Japanese teacher based in Tokyo 😊 I teach adult learners who want to understand Japanese clearly, speak with more confidence, and know what to study next. My lessons are friendly and relaxed, but also clear, structured, and goal-focused 🌱 I do not simply follow one textbook. I choose materials and lesson methods based on your level, goals, and learning style. You will always understand what we are studying, why it is important, and how to use it in real communication. Rather than only memorizing phrases, you will learn how Japanese works and how to create your own sentences. I teach complete beginners, self-study learners, conversation learners, and professionals who need polite or business Japanese. I studied linguistics at university and began teaching Japanese while I was still a student. After graduating, I taught Japanese in Thailand for two years. I later built a career in HR at Japanese and global companies before returning to Japanese teaching full-time. I am originally from Hokkaido and have also lived in the United States and Thailand 🌏 I understand how challenging it can be to learn, live, and communicate in another language and culture. You can relax, make mistakes, and ask questions anytime. I will not pressure you, but I will guide you clearly and help you keep moving forward. Please feel free to book a trial lesson or a regular lesson anytime. I’m looking forward to meeting you 😊

資格を持った日本語教師 I have worked as a Modern and Classical Japanese teacher for Japanese high school students since 2019. Also, I passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test and working as a Japanese language teacher for foreigners at a Japanese language school. So, I teach Japanese both for Japanese high school students and foreigners. In other words, I am a Japanese language expert! 大学卒業後から現在に至るまで、日本の高校生に対して5年間、国語の読解と作文の授業を担当していました。 現代文だけでなく、古文の授業も担当していました。 また、2023年に日本語教育能力検定試験に合格したことを機に、日本語学校で日本語教師としても働きはじめました。 2026年現在も日本語教師の仕事を続けており、外国語としての日本語だけでなく、母語としての現代日本語、古典日本語にも精通しています。 In my lessons, we will use Japanese as much as possible, depending on your level, because using Japanese a lot is the way to improve! Of course, if you have any questions, you can ask me in English. 基本的に、授業内ではできるだけ日本語を使います。 わからないことがあったときは、英語での質問も受け付けます。しかし、日本語を話せるようになるために重要なのは、できるだけ日本語を使うことです。そのため、できる限り日本語で質問しようという姿勢を歓迎します。 I enjoy exercising, reading, writing, watching movies and teaching Japanese! Also, I love chatting! Let's talk together! Tell me about you in Japanese! 趣味はスポーツをすることや読書、音楽を聴くこと、旅行、語学学習などです。 日本語でいろいろなお話ができるのを楽しみにしています!

I also completed the 420 Hour Advanced Japanese Teacher Training Course. I dearly hope to help students at all levels become masters of the Japanese language for both personal and professional reasons. Speaking a new language can be challenging and sometimes frustrating since many of us are shy about trying and are worried about making mistakes. I will help you get comfortable with speaking Japanese in a relaxed environment and make learning fun and enjoyable! My lessons are tailored to your individual needs. We can follow a text book to focus on grammar and testable subjects, or we can use real life materials such as world news, movies, anime, cultures, or any topic that you prefer to enhance your communication skills in Japanese through active conversation. In each lesson, I focus primarily on making YOU speak while I teach new vocabulary and grammar points and boost your listening and reading skills if necessary. I definitely value your time. I try to make every lesson productive and worthwhile! Come and join me in class, and let’s make Japanese a part of your life. ᕦ(ò ᴗ óˇ)ᕤ みなさん、こんにちは! 私の名前はRioです。 日本で生まれ育ちましたが、2003年からアメリカに住んでいます。 アメリカの会社で7年半働いていました。 今はいろいろな国の人たちに日本語を教えています。 趣味は、ピアノ、読書、油絵、旅行です。 一緒に楽しく日本語を勉強しましょう。 お会いできるのをとても楽しみにしています。♪(๑ᴖ◡ᴖ๑)♪

Learn Japanese Through Culture & Conversation 🇯🇵 Hi, I'm Taki from Japan! 👋 Want to learn Japanese and the culture behind it? That's exactly what my lessons are about. We learn through real conversation, from everyday life to history, tea culture, nature, traditions, and the Japanese way of thinking. Maybe you've wondered: ・Why do Japanese people often say things indirectly? ・What does 和 (wa) really mean? ・How are nature, spirituality, and daily life connected in Japan? Once you understand the culture, the language starts to make so much more sense (and it's a lot more fun!). Prefer something more relaxed? Casual chat is totally welcome too. We can work on helping you sound more natural when you speak. Beginners to advanced learners are welcome. Let's explore Japan through Japanese! 🇯🇵 Message me anytime 😊

    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.

    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!
