I am a very friendly and patient teacher. I’ve been a language teacher for more than 20 years and I love it! I taught students from one-year-old kids to adults in person. For online lessons, I usually teach students from eight-year-old to adults. There's nothing like seeing my students getting excited about learning Japanese in my class. It gives me such a sense of accomplishment. My motto for learning Japanese is to make mistakes without worrying too much and to speak a lot in Japanese. Have fun with it :)

8+ years of experience | Beginners | Conversation | Minna no Nihongo Hello! My name is Mai. I have approximately 9 years of experience as a Japanese language teacher. I taught at a language school in Tokyo for 3 years and at a language school in Taiwan for 2 years. I have experience teaching students of all levels, from children to adults, and from complete beginner levels to advanced levels, primarily in group lessons. Currently, I have been teaching one-on-one online for 4 years. In my lessons, I prioritize getting students to speak as much as possible! I especially focus on teaching beginners. I have extensive experience teaching complete beginners (starting from hiragana and katakana). In my lessons, I use textbooks and original materials to practice not only grammar but also natural conversation. For intermediate and advanced levels, I also teach textbook lessons, free talk, news, and composition. Especially recommend my lessons to those who want to: * master both grammar and conversation * gain confidence in conversation * study carefully from the basics * sound more like a native speaker こんにちは!麻衣(まい)と申します。 日本語教師として、これまで約9年の実績があります。東京の語学学校で3年間、台湾の語学学校で2年間教えていました。子供から大人まで、50音から上級まで教授経験があり、主にグループレッスンを行っていました。現在はオンライン教師として、マンツーマンで4年教えています。 私のレッスンでは、「生徒さんにとにかくたくさん話してもらうこと!」を大切にしています。 特に初級を中心に教えています。全くの初心者(ひらがな・カタカナから開始)に教えた経験が多数あります。 レッスンでは教科書とオリジナル教材を使って、文法だけではなく、自然な会話を練習します。 その他、中級以上は教科書レッスン、フリートーク、ニュース、作文などを指導しています。 特に、 ・文法も会話も身に付けたい方 ・会話に自信をつけたい方 ・基礎から丁寧に勉強したい方 ・よりネイティブに近づきたい方 におすすめです!!

Lesson Taylor | Tailor-made Japanese lessons for new learners to advanced (オーダーメイド日本語レッスン) As a teacher, I value flexibility. Every student has different backgrounds, and the most effective way to master a language varies from person to person, so I always adjust my lessons to fit what you need. Thankfully, my students often tell me that I have a calm and relaxed way of teaching, which makes it easier for them to speak without feeling nervous. Ultimately, I want to be a teacher who listens carefully and encourages you. I’ll do my best to guide you in your Japanese learning journey, while making sure you always feel comfortable and motivated. 先生としては、柔軟性を大切にしています。みんな違うバックグラウンドがあるはずなので、それぞれに合わせたレッスンをするのが大切だと考えています。ありがたいことに、リラックスした雰囲気で話せるというフィードバックをよく頂くので、皆さんが心地良い環境で学習できるように努めます!

Over 6 years of teaching in language school experience 【When I was a university student】 I helped Japanese children and exchange students to learn Japanese as a tutor. I also had experienced Japanese tutoring for American students in Arizona State University. 【Now】 I'm working as a Japanese language teacher for foreigners. By working as a teacher, I realized that age doesn't matter!! There is no late to start learning! Basically, when I teach, I will use Japanese all the way to improve your Japanese skill. But, you can also ask questions in English or Portuguese if it's hard. I understand how difficult to learn foreign languages by my experience. But I'll try my best to help you! Don't worry.

Enjoy speaking Japanese! Japanese is FUN!! (See Youtube @chiekoosugi233) Born and raised in Kyoto, I’ve called many countries home—USA, Philippines, Indonesia, Tunisia, India, Uruguay, Hungary—and now split my time between Japan and New Zealand. My life has been a journey of connecting with people from all walks of life, embracing new cultures, and diving into languages (I’ve studied ten so far!). I love sharing this global perspective with my students and believe language is the key to understanding the world. If you’re curious about Japanese language and culture, or want to learn from someone who truly understands the excitement and challenges of learning a new language, I’d love to meet you!

    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.

Frequently asked questions

Where can I find a private Japanese teacher?

Nowadays, with the help of the Internet, it is very easy to find a Japanese language tutor online. All you need to do is to Google “online Japanese teachers” or “Japanese teachers online” and you will be instantly presented with hundreds of search results and websites that offer online Japanese courses. But if you’re specifically looking for private Japanese teachers with years of experience and appropriate credentials, you will find that there are only a few websites that specialize in one-on-one teaching in Japanese.
If you are looking for an online teacher, or you simply want to improve your skills in Japanese, then italki is a great place to start. We have more than 1,000 Japanese teachers and online tutors.
