Katayama is a patient and respectful teacher, the classes are well structured and include reviewing grammar, dictation and speaking practises and similar exercises. I would definitely recommend his classes.
Katayama is a very friendly person and I am happy that I am able to learn from him in a way that suits me. I feel like I am getting better and better every time we meet, which is highly motivating to me.
Katayama is very kind and helpful, and he put a lot of effort into helping me make a study plan!
Very good first lesson, promising!
Katayama san is a wonderful teacher with lots of experience, he prepared our class very thoroughly which was perfect to my level. Within an hour we covered conversation skills, some reading, grammar, all of it in a very engaging and enjoyable way. Warmly recommend him.

Japanese language course - let's learn to speak, read and listen together!Japanese is a beautiful language, but how do you get started? Reading, speaking, and writing each come with their own difficulties that are quite different from what we're accustomed to in European languages.

Would you like to...
master the basics in preparation of travelling to Japan?
prepare for higher studies Japanese?
learn to listen and read?
I'm here to assist you with that!
I believe anyone looking to learn a new language should engage with it daily. That's why learning Japanese in Belgium can be tricky! For those who are interested, I offer extra practice sessions and tips throughout the week to help you master Japanese as quickly as possible. 一緒に頑張りましょう!

Start speaking Spanish from 0 or improve yours skillsLanguage and culture are essential to connecting with others, and as someone who loves both, I’m excited to share my passion for teaching.

Learn Italian from a native speaker: grammar, oral and written skills!Hello, I'm Verdiana and I'm a Master student at KU Leuven.
I tutor students and offer private lessons since I was 16, thus I've gained quite some experience on the topic.
My main focus is on foreign language because I've studied them for 5 years. Here in Leuven though, I would like to teach Italian, my native language.
During a one-hour-class, you'll get the chance to explore the (difficult but fascinating) Italian grammar, to practice both your oral and written skills and to learn some useful Italian phrases.
Don't hesitate to contact me in case of any question!

Private French lessons for adults and teenagers with native French speaker in Co. MayoFor the past two decades, I've had the privilege of tutoring in both French and English. My students have ranged in age, background, and origin, spanning children, teenagers, adults, professionals, and even seniors aged 85 and above.
You might wonder why I teach both languages. Well, I am bilingual, with American and Swiss/French roots, and I currently reside in Ireland. This unique blend of experiences equips me with a strong and relevant teaching approach. I possess an intimate understanding of both cultures, enabling me to tailor my classes to the specific needs of my students.
My teaching journey began during my time studying social work in French-speaking Switzerland. I started offering private French and English lessons to supplement my income, and I quickly discovered my passion for it. Even after graduating and embarking on a full-time career, I couldn't bear to give up this rewarding activity. I cherished the opportunity to connect with diverse individuals and assist them in achieving their language goals.
In my teaching methodology, interactivity takes center stage. I employ a variety of engaging learning tools, including photos, newspaper articles, music, videos, and more. My approach is highly adaptable, with a focus on addressing each student's unique priorities. Some seek to refine their pronunciation, grammar, and vocabulary, while others require assistance with presentations or speeches for school or work. Some simply aspire to acquire a new language to enrich their general knowledge. I also specialize in teaching younger children, a testament to my educational background and experience.
What you will gain from my courses extends beyond impeccable pronunciation and enhanced vocabulary and grammar. You'll also acquire a profound understanding of the culture associated with each language. When speaking a language, it's essential to appreciate the lifestyle, traditions, and heritage of the nations where it thrives. French and English are spoken as primary languages in numerous countries worldwide, each with its own unique accent and cultural nuances. The learning process is limitless!
In addition to my language instruction, I'm a genealogist and host spiritual (non-religious) seminars in the beautiful West of Ireland. My passion for vegetarian and vegan cuisine adds a flavorful dimension to my life. Furthermore, I hold a degree in Early Childhood Education and have operated a private "Before & Afterschool" facility along with Summer Camps catering to children aged 4 to 12 for many years.
I am genuinely excited about the prospect of meeting and working with you!
