Learn Japanese with private Japanese teachers

Beginner Japanese Lessons with Chihiro |Travel Talk & Real-Life Practice I’m a native Japanese speaker from Nagasaki, now living in Australia. I’ve taught Japanese online for over 600 hours, supporting learners of beginner levels with personalized, friendly lessons. My teaching goes beyond grammar—I help you understand culture, manners, and real-life expressions that make Japanese truly meaningful. Whether you’re a complete beginner or preparing for JLPT, I’ll guide you step by step. I also offer specialized lessons for travel, casual conversation. Students often describe me as patient, encouraging, and easy to talk to. I personalize each lesson to match your pace and goals, so you can learn comfortably and confidently.

I have 9 years of experience teaching Japanese, and I am capable of conversing in English and Arabic I have been teaching Japanese for about 7 years. First, I taught Japanese in Egypt at two universities and the Japanese Cultural Center(Japan Foundation Cairo office). Now I am teaching Japanese for students who want to proceed to the next level of education in Tokyo. However, because I want to teach the Japanese language to students from different countries, I decided to become a teacher at italki.

Experienced Japanese teacher with cultural insight and advanced English skill. With over 10 years of teaching experience, I’ve had the privilege of working with students from all over the world. I spent nearly 3 years teaching at the largest Japanese language school in Singapore, where I led classes from beginner to advanced levels, including group lessons, one-on-one sessions, and JLPT preparation courses for N5 and N4. My teaching approach is based on the Direct Method (teaching Japanese in Japanese), which is challenging but highly effective, but I am also fluent in English so you don’t need to worry about any language barriers. In addition to my school experience, I’ve been teaching private lessons—both online and offline—for over a decade. On iTalki since 2020.

I've been teaching Japanese for over 16 years at a Japanese language school in Tokyo(*'▽') 対象：大学生以上 I have been working as a Japanese language teacher at a Japanese language school in Tokyo since 2009. So, this is my 16th year as a Japanese language teacher. Now, I work as a full-time teacher at the Japanese language school where I have been working since 2009. At school, I teach JLPT class from N5 to N1, EJU class and I also have taught BJT class. In addition, counseling on the choice of university and technical school, school life guidance is also a part of my job. ２００９年から東京にある日本語学校で日本語教師として働いています。今年で日本語教師になって１6年目になります。現在は、２００９年から勤務している日本語学校で常勤講師として勤務しています。学校では日本語能力試験Ｎ５からＮ１までの授業、日本留学試験対策の授業をしており、ＢＪＴの授業をしたこともあります。授業の他に学生達の進学指導、生活指導もしています。

Certified native Japanese teacher with over 15 years teaching experience (Conversation & JLPT Prep). I majored "Japanese language as foreign language" in my University. The course was designed for people who would like to teach Japanese to foreigners. It was great opportunity to meet foreign students who plan to be Japanese teachers in their countries. I could learn that commonsense makes sense only in where I grew up. Sharing ideas and knowledge for developing and enjoying our lives is the most wonderful thing. Of course "learning language" is a gate to know about other people who have different backgrounds. Would you like to share your ideas with me?
