Excellent lesson, thank you 😊
First lesson with Emiko-san was very pleasant! She is very nice and very patient s very accomodating as I had forgottan a lot of the grammar over the year. I'm excited to continue working with and learning from her!
Emiko is a wonderful teacher. She is patient and kind, and modifies the pace of the lessons based on what you need. Because my Japanese is so limited, it has been very helpful that she has a good command of the English language, also. Highly recommend her!
She's experienced, organized, and overall a nice person
Very high marks to you!!! 100+. Personable and professional!! Communication in English was flawless!!! Practical hints about Japanese expressions to be used for daily practical conversations.

Yurika
Japanese Tutor/ building real-life conversation from beginner to fluent
Hi nice to meet you. This is Yurika. Live in Tokyo Japan, currently work as a consultant. I am here to support those who want to learn Japanese in a fun and effective way. Whether you are a beginner or an advanced learner, whether you want to master casual conversation or business Japanese, I tailor my lessons to your goals and pace. In my lessons, you can expect: •Clear and easy-to-understand grammar explanations •Practical and natural conversation practice •Fun discussions about Japanese culture and customs My aim is to help you achieve “practical and usable Japanese.” I strive to create a relaxed and enjoyable environment where you feel comfortable learning. Together, we’ll build your confidence and increase those “Aha!” and “I can say it!” moments. Let’s enjoy learning Japanese together! Feel free to message me anytime. I’m looking forward to meeting you!

Ayaka
Let's learn Japanese with a native through a casual talk
-------About me Name: Ayaka Origin: Osaka Japanese: Standard Japanese, Kansai dialect Jobs: Flight Attendant (past), Yoga Instructor (active) Hobbies: Traveling, Yoga, Photography, Walking and hiking, Cooking, Skiing, Animal lover ----------About the Lesson--------------------- The main focus will be on "Speaking." Q. Why is speaking the main focus? A. We want you to experience the joy of speaking Japanese through free talk. Just learning words from manga is not easy to understand what natives say in daily life. I will assist you in learning vocabulary and acquiring natural expressions by speaking with native Japanese speakers. -----A message to the students at the end----- I love cultural exchange and have a friendly personality. Having traveled to various countries and learning German, I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language firsthand. This makes me happy to be able to help you learn Japanese. I look forward to the day when we can have enjoyable conversations together.

Anri
Certified Japanese teacher for all ages and levels
Konnichiwa! I am a native Japanese born in Yokohama, a city neighboring Tokyo, and I currently live in Geneve, Switzerland. I am fluent in both English and Japanese, and I plan to use both languages in my Japanese lessons. In my lessons, I focus on tailoring the content to each student’s goals and proficiency level. I use structured materials like “Minna no Nihongo” or "Genki" to build a solid foundation, while also including real-life conversation practice to help students learn Japanese they can actually use. It is challenging to explain grammar to young learners (ages 5 or 6 and above), so I use pictures and realia to conduct lessons. I learned this method through Association of Japanese Language for Children (AJLC) and hold a qualification as a Japanese language instructor for children. My goal is to create lessons that are fun and motivating, while also helping students see real progress in their Japanese skills! Learning a new language may be tough, but I also know it expands our world. I look forward to embarking on this adventure with everyone who wants to learn Japane.

こんにちは。私の名前はこころです。 私は日本の四国地方出身で今はインドに住んでいます。 私は日本語のネイティブスピーカーで、レッスンでは日本語と簡単な英語を使います。 2年間外国人に日本語を教えてきました。 私は自然な日本語を使うフリーカンバセーションと漢字や日本の文化をシェアすることが得意です。 レッスンのあとには、復習用にフィードバックを送ったり、質問を受け付けています。 あなたの希望するレッスンスタイルにフォーカスします。 例えば日本に旅行しレストランで注文するロールプレイングをしたり、テキストを使ったり、ノートに日本語と英語を書いて丁寧に日本語を説明します。 特に私の得意な分野は日常会話、ビジネス会話、日本の文化、漢字、習字です。 また、関西と四国地方の方言を教えることも出来ます。 私に興味を持ってくれてありがとうございます! 一緒に楽しく日本語を学びましょう! Hello. My name is Kokoro. I am from the Shikoku region in Janan and currently live in India. I am a native Japanese speaker and use Japanese and simple English in my lessons. I have been teaching Japanese to foreigners for two years. I am good at free conversation using natural Japanese and sharing kanji and Japanese culture. After the lesson, you can provide feedback and ask questions. Focus on your desired lesson style. For example, you can role-play traveling to Japan and ordering at a restaurant, use text, or write Japanese and English in a notebook to carefully explain Japanese. I am particularly good at everyday conversation, business conversation, Japanese culture, kanji, and calligraphy. We can also teach dialects from the Kansai and Shikoku regions. Thank you for your interest in me! Let's have fun learning Japanese together! We will discuss the lessons you would like to take in advance and create a custom-made lesson just for you. I will conduct a survey in advance and try to ensure that there are no discrepancies between your requests and my classes.

Ryota
Private Japanese Lessons That Fit Your Goals and Interests
[ABOUT ME] I’m Ryota, a native Japanese speaker living in Yokohama, and I’m here to help you learn Japanese in a fun and practical way. With strong English skills and a deep understanding of what it’s like to learn a second language, I can guide you through the tricky parts and make the process smoother. [ABOUT THE SESSIONS] Our sessions are going to be tailored to your particular goals and interests. If you’re a beginner, we’ll start with easy conversations or watching and discussing videos in Japanese. That way I can help you get used to the rhythm and flow of Japanese. If you’re a more advanced learner, perhaps preparing for the JLPT, we can review past exams together and focus on polishing your grammar and vocabulary to get you ready. I’m also well-versed in Japanese traditions and culture—including anime and manga—so we can easily incorporate those into our lessons if they interest you. And if you’ve recently moved to Japan or are planning to, I can share insights and practical tips to help you navigate life here. (I’ve got plenty of expat friends and know the drill!) If you’re looking for a supportive, chill tutor to guide you on your Japanese journey, I’d love to help. Let’s make learning Japanese an exciting and enjoyable experience together!
