    Private Japanese Lesson ― Conversation, Reading Comprehension, Writing, Academic Japanese

    Hello,
    My name is Emi, and I’m a Japanese language tutor based in Tokyo. While working in an office, I also teach Japanese. I majored in economics at university and later spent over 20 years working in back-office roles at housing manufacturers, consulting firms, and nonprofit organizations. In 2005, I entered an art university, completed a master’s program in art studies while working, and am now writing my doctoral dissertation. I also work as a part-time lecturer, supporting students in their studies and guiding them in essay writing.

    About My Lessons
    The main goal of my lessons is to help you communicate smoothly and effectively with Japanese speakers. To achieve this, we focus on:
    • Expressing your thoughts clearly (speaking/writing)
    • Understanding what others are saying or writing (listening/reading)

    Customized Lessons
    I tailor each lesson to suit your goals, level, and interests. In our first lesson, I’ll ask you about your objectives and specific needs, so we can design a program just for you.

    Lessons are conducted primarily in Japanese, but I can assist in English if needed. I also have a basic understanding of Spanish, so feel free to relax and enjoy the lessons!

    Examples of Lessons I Offer
    • Practical conversation practice using natural Japanese (without textbooks)
    • Practice with materials like GENKI etc.
    • Reading news articles or short stories written in Japanese together

    Specialized Japanese Lessons
    • Japanese for the Workplace: Writing emails, communicating with colleagues and supervisors, and understanding Japanese business culture
    • Academic Japanese: Reading academic texts, writing reports and theses, and using language suitable for scholarly discussions (especially in fields such as art, culture, literature, society, and philosophy)

    My Approach to Japanese Learning
    My own experience of learning English and Spanish has helped me understand the depth of Japanese expressions and culture. Japanese reflects unique cultural values and ways of thinking, which often makes it difficult to translate directly. By learning about the cultural and contextual background of Japanese expressions, you’ll not only improve your skills but also use the language more naturally and effectively.
    That’s why in my lessons, I aim to share not only the language itself but also the cultural nuances behind it. I believe this approach can make your communication in Japanese more enjoyable and meaningful.

    Thank you for reading.
    I’m here to support your Japanese learning journey and to help you explore the language and culture with confidence and joy. If you’re interested in my lessons, feel free to get in touch!

    Academic Writing in English, feedback for essays/assignments, presentation skills
    Join the class if you would like to have your essay/academic assignment reviewed! Provide feedback, editing and proofreading services if required. Prior to each class, please have your draft ready and sent to me one day before the class. During the class, I will explain the feedback I attached and answer any questions you have. The overall class time includes the time I spend preparing the feedback and the time we meet up online/in person. Please also note that you are the author of your work, and my role is not to write an assignment on your behalf. The best way to improve academic writing in English is definitely to keep practising and revising. It is a really arduous procedure but trust me, it will be worth your time in the end!

    Polyglot specialist with 9 years of experience. German in speed mode. Level A1 to C2. No school teaching.
    I offer you a German course that is not like the others. There are two types of courses. Here is an analogy to illustrate their respective approaches: If you travel back and forth by train every day and don't have time to wait long at the platform, imagine that you only have two options: 1) Memorise the timetable. 2) Realise that the train comes every ten minutes and that a train arrives for example at 7:00 a.m. In school pedagogy, in textbooks and in normal lessons, the first approach is used - in the course I am offering you, it is the second approach because it is more economical and faster. My offer is aimed at both pupils and adults who want to learn the German language without time-consuming detours through the madness of fruitless school methods. Learning is easy, but unlearning things that have become bad habits is extremely difficult. This makes it all the more important to learn the right reflexes as early as possible. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, with my customised lessons you will greatly accelerate the learning process while having a positive attitude. I offer German lessons for individuals or groups (2 to 5 people). The methods are based on cognitive science and historical linguistics in particular. My modular programme can be adapted on a case-by-case basis. The converging point of these modules is your independence in spontaneous conversations in real life. What will not be covered in the course: learning lists of verbs; learning lists of nouns with articles; learning words with their translations; flashcards; doing school exercises; following the syllabus of a booklet; imposing the English grammar on the German language. What is particularly important to me: to motivate my student and to give him a learning rhythm; to encourage his creativity; to befriend him with the language; the letters and their sounds; to strengthen the memory by training the phonological loop; to teach blueprints instead of memorising sentences; to explain how the language works in order to make my student independent as quickly as possible; to eliminate common preconceptions, such as that 'der' would mean masculine and 'die' feminine, that the accusative would be a direct complement and the dative an indirect complement, that verbs would be irregular, that declension would be random and therefore would have to be learnt with each verb...; to put practice at the centre and only deal with grammar where necessary. A first lesson will give you a sound idea of my pedagogy.
