Qualified Japanese teacher living in France🇫🇷 Hello, I'm Sayoko. I'm a qualified Japanese teacher. I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan but live in France now. I speak standard Japanese. My hobbies are travelling, watching movies, learning languages & reading books. Since 2018, I've taught Japanese to beginner students on a 1-1 basis. In 2022, I passed the Japanese language Teaching Competency Test. I've studied English at university and now I'm studying French so I understand how difficult it is to learn new languages. If necessary, I can speak English or French to clarify certain points. I use interactive activities so students can practise their language skills. I tailor the lessons to the needs of each individual student. Bonjour . Je suis Sayoko. Je suis professeur de japonais diplômé. Je suis née et j'ai grandi à Tokyo , mais je vis en France maintenant. Je parle japonais couramment. J'aime voyager, regarder des films, lire des livres, cuisiner. Je donne des cours particulier de japonais depuis 2018. J'ai obtenu le diplôme Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test en 2022. J'ai étudié l'anglais à l'université et j'étudie le français maintenant donc je comprends comme il est difficile d'apprendre une nouvelle langue. Si nécessaire je peux parler français et anglais pendant le cours. Mes cours sont interactifs donc les étudiants peuvent mettre en œuvre leur compétences. J'adapte les leçons aux besoins de chaque étudiant.

The perfect teacher for people who want casual, organized lessons! Hi everyone, I'm Tatsuki. I'm 30 and lived in Italy for 8 years in total. I love learning languages. Now I'm studying English, Italian, and Danish. My hobbies are traveling, watching movies, reading books, and playing/watching soccer. Soccer has always been my passion. I'm well experienced in teaching Japanese. As you can see, I have had over 9000 lessons here on Italki and taught over 500 students. I learned how to teach Japanese to foreigners at my university and became a professional Japanese teacher after I passed an exam in 2019. But I didn't stop there, and I have been improving as a teacher. I'm a friendly and kind person and really like teaching languages. If you are a beginner and do not understand Japanese, don't worry. I have been studying English for a long time and can explain it in English. I organize my lessons based on what you want to learn. If you want to practice conversation, we'll have a conversation and I'll correct you when you make mistakes. If you want to concentrate on learning grammar, we will use a textbook and cover each chapter. We can also practice reading. We'll read an online article in a lesson (or I can send it to you beforehand) and cover new grammar and words. After every lesson, if you request, I'll send you homework based on your needs or a summary of the lesson so that you can review what you learned during the lesson.

Experienced Coach|36 countries Travel exspert |Beginners, Free Talk ,JLPT ,Kids Ok, All Levels, 「日本語、ずっと勉強しているのに、全然話せるようにならない…」そう感じたことはありませんか?その原因は、あなたの努力不足ではなく、「教科書の日本語」と「実際に使われている日本語」の間にある大きなギャップかもしれません。 はじめまして、日本語教師のYukaです。 私は日本の語学学校で、1歳のお子さんから大人の方まで、幅広い年齢層の生徒さんに日本語を教えてきました。 また、日系企業での勤務経験もあり、教室の中だけでは学べない「実際に使われている日本語」や、日本社会ならではの考え方・マナーについても深い知識を持っています。 ビジネスの現場で培った経験は、丁寧な言葉遣いから、同僚や上司との円滑な人間関係の築き方まで、幅広くお伝えできる強みになっています。 私自身も現在スペイン語と英語を学習中の身であり、生徒として新しい言語を学ぶ大変さや、思うように話せないもどかしさ、そしてうまく話せたときの喜びを、身をもって理解しています。 【私のレッスンの特徴】 教科書の文法をなぞるだけの授業はしません。 もちろん基礎はしっかりお伝えしますが、それに加えて「実際の会話で本当に使われる表現」も一緒に学んでいきます。 教科書では「です・ます」形が中心ですが、実際の会話は人間関係の話や噂話、スラングであふれています。教科書だけで勉強して会話につまずいてしまう方の原因は、実はここにあります。 友人との会話、職場でのやり取り、旅行先での一コマ―そのすべてに合った言葉選びができるよう、状況に応じた自然な日本語をお教えします。 教科書の各ユニットの文法事項が終わったら、必ずカジュアルな表現もプラスして教えるのが、他の先生との違いです。 【対応できるレベル・目的】 ・ゼロからの初級者の方:ひらがな・カタカナから、無理なく続けられるペースで丁寧にサポートします。「覚えられない」「続かない」という不安も、一緒に解消していきましょう。 ・JLPT合格を目指す方:必要な漢字・語彙・文法を整理し、試験日から逆算した学習プランを作成します。シャドーイングなどのトレーニングでリスニング力も鍛えます。 ・旅行や出張前に短期間で日本語を身につけたい方:限られた時間で確実に成果を出せるよう、実際に使う場面を想定した実践的なフレーズを中心に学びます。 ・ビジネスシーンで自信を持って日本語を使いたい方:敬語やビジネスマナー、日本人特有の考え方まで、文化的な背景を含めて丁寧に解説します。 ・お子さんの日本語学習:年齢制限なし、アニメや好きな遊びを取り入れながら、楽しみながら自然に学べます。 ・とにかく日本語で自由に話したい方:テーマは自由、間違いを気にせずたくさん話すフリートークも大歓迎です。 【大切にしていること】 間違えることを恐れないでください。 間違いは、上達している証拠です。緊張せずに話せる、リラックスした雰囲気のレッスンをいつも心がけています。 一人ひとりの目標やペース、興味関心に合わせて、オーダーメイドのレッスンプランを一緒に作っていきます。 【レッスンの進め方】 初回のレッスンでは、まずあなたの現在のレベルや目標、興味のあることをじっくりお伺いします。「なんとなく話せるようになりたい」という漠然とした目標でも大丈夫です。 一緒にお話ししながら、あなたに合った学習の道筋を見つけていきましょう。 教材はすべて画面上で共有しますので、手ぶらでレッスンにご参加いただけます。 レッスン中は、日本語だけでなく、必要に応じて英語やスペイン語での説明も可能です。

    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

    Kyouko is an amazing Japanese teacher! She has been of great assistance helping me to develop confidence in my speaking. She truly cares about her student's progress and has developed materials and roleplaying exercises tailored to my specific needs. I highly recommend her as a teacher.

    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!
