Scratch to Advanced, Teach in 🇬🇧, 🇰🇷, 🇯🇵, 24yrs EXP, 53,000 hrs offline and 22,500 hrs online ⭐ Tailored Japanese Lessons in English, Korean, or Basic Spanish/Italian ⭐ Comprehensive Support to Build a Strong Foundation for Mastery. I'm a native Japanese speaker from Nagano in Japan, who is currently living in South Korea. I had moved around a lot in my childhood. This enabled me to acquire not only standard Japanese but also several Japanese dialects. After traveling in Asia and Africa, I realized there are so many languages and cultures in this world. Since then, I have become a language enthusiast. Thus far, I have learned several languages, and this has helped me conduct easy-to-understand and customized classes for students with diverse language backgrounds.

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!

Yasuka
Absolute beginner? Planning a trip to Japan? Try lessons that finally make things “click”! 💡 Why choose me? I specialize in explaining Japanese grammar in clear, natural English. I know where English speakers often get stuck—and how to help you move forward quickly. Many of my students say they finally understood things that other teachers couldn’t explain. Some tell me, “I’ve been confused for months, but now it makes sense in one lesson!” My lessons are priced higher than many others on italki, but they’re designed to be efficient and results-driven. If you want to save time and make fast, meaningful progress, my teaching style may be exactly what you’re looking for.
