Japanese lesson by a native Japanese speaker in Amsterdam

Hi, Japanese learners in and around Amsterdam!

My name is Miki, and I’m a 29-year-old Japanese woman living in Amsterdam. I was born in Tokyo and soon after moved to the US, growing up in cities like Boston, Chicago, Singapore, Austin, and Tokyo. This diverse background has given me a unique perspective on language and culture, which I bring into my teaching.

I hold a Bachelor's degree in Law and Politics from Keio University in Tokyo. During my university days, I developed a genuine interest in traveling the world and backpacked through South America, Europe, and Southeast Asia. If you’re also a traveler, we can share a lot about our experiences during lessons, making learning Japanese even more engaging and fun.

Professionally, I’ve pursued a career in banking, advertising, and a food-tech start-up. Now in Amsterdam, I work as a Wagashi (Japanese confectionery) professional, striving to spread the beauty of this traditional art. Additionally, I have experience working as an interpreter, which has honed my language skills further.

I look forward to helping you on your journey to learn Japanese, sharing not just the language but also insights from my diverse life experiences. Let's make learning Japanese an exciting adventure!

Chats about Japan and basic Japanese conversation

Hong Thi
Highly Experienced Native Vietnamese Tutor with a Proven Track Record
Speak Vietnamese Fluently in Just 2 Months! I am passionate about helping learners not only master Vietnamese but also gain a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture. I will guide you to pronounce naturally like a native speaker and communicate confidently in any situation. ‍The biggest challenge for Vietnamese learners is pronunciation and addressing people correctly. With six tones and a complex system of pronouns that change based on formality, age, gender, and family relationships, it can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry! I’ll guide you through it and help you gain confidence from the very first lesson! Whether you're a student, a professional, living with Vietnamese people, or have Vietnamese friends or colleagues, I’m here to support you. I always tailor my teaching approach to keep you motivated, engaged, and increasingly confident in using Vietnamese. With just 2 months of learning with me, you'll be able to communicate confidently!

If you already have some knowledge, we will choose together the grammar points on which you will focus to progress effectively :) 🍡 Advanced Reading and Listening For learners who already have a solid foundation, these courses help strengthen your reading and listening skills. If you have texts or content that you would like to explore, we will use them in class. Otherwise, I will provide you with resources adapted to your level and interests! 🍡 JLPT exam preparation Prepare effectively for the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), a recognized exam that validates your level of Japanese. Whether it's to boost your chances for studies, a job or simply to challenge yourself, my courses will guide you with targeted exercises and strategies adapted to your level. In the first lesson, we will discuss in Japanese/French/English to assess your level of Japanese, your expectations for the Japanese course, as well as the books we will use. Each one-hour lesson takes place online or at my home in Prilly. Organize your classes at your own pace: once a week, every two weeks, or even in intensive sessions lasting several hours! I look forward to supporting you in your learning of Japanese, and sharing my culture with you! 🌸

Sachiko
Japanese Lessons with Sachi, I am an experienced Japanese teacher
I enjoy cooking, painting, traveling, reading, and yoga. My lessons are extremely well planned and organized so there’s no time wasted and I enjoy forming a trusting relationship with my students. When students trust their teacher they feel free to ask questions and know that it’s okay to ask the same question repeatedly until they fully understand. Another important feature of my lessons is the quality of my follow-up reviews. My reviews are meticulous, complete with footnotes that offer supplementary information. Because of my detailed feedback students not only learn during my lesson, but after it as well. I’m so happy to know that some of my students print out my reviews and keep them in a folder for self-study! From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of my students I’ve met during my teaching career. They always make me laugh, feel warm inside, and motivate me to become a better teacher. Learning is a long journey so let’s have fun together and make it worth our time! I am looking forward to getting to know you!
