About Me

Konnichiwa from Japan.

I can confidently teach from children to adults.
The key to improving your Japanese is to make an effort to think of Japanese in Japanese.

I have worked Japanese companies, a kindergarten teacher, cram school and a Japanese language school in Tokyo.
Especially, I worked at a cram school for 12 years, teaching Japanese children between the ages of 2 and 12 a subject called "Kokugo." It is our national language.

I am a Japanese living in Japan. I love teaching the Japanese language. I am serious about teaching and would like to meet new learners.

I am experienced in teaching conversational Japanese, general Japanese, reading Japanese newspaper and JLPT exam preparation. I have a good understanding of second language acquisition, teaching methodologies.


As you may know, the language is beautiful. Let's have fun together!
​My hobbies are Japanese cooking it is called ''Washoku'', traveling, going to hot springs and walking with my two cute little doggies. I am an eager teacher and will do my best for learners.

My goal is to make people confident and happy to speak. Everyone is different and prefers different types of lessons, I have no ​problem using classroom books or just working to improve. I have taught a number of countries students so I am aware of the difficulties that can arise. Language should be interesting and fun to use. I want to make the class enjoyable.​ I'm ready to help you with a fresh mind, a ​positive attitude and a smile. Thank you.

Let's work together to make you sound more like a native Japanese speaker.
Thank you so much.

I look forward to seeing you soon.

Sincerely,

Ms. Noriko is a very nice teacher. I have only had four lessons up till now but they helped me tremendously with understanding some harder Japanese grammar point that I always struggled with. She is very understanding and will try her hardest to answer all your questions. ~ Em
Noriko is a great teacher! She's really nice and tries her best to accommodate you with the lessons and with your learning goals. Plus, it's great to learn from someone that currently lives in Japan. It makes the experience more real. Domo arigato for being my teacher ^^
First class with Noriko San went well and smooth. Noriko San is very responsible and patient. Cool!
Why don't you have a free conversation in Japanese without being bound by grammar and pronunciation? The theme of the conversation can be decided by the learners or I can think of it. I think it's a good idea to decide on a theme in advance so that the lessons will be conducted smoothly before you start the lessons. You are the protagonist. And I'm a listener. Let's try little by little so that we can think and express Japanese in Japanese. This is the secret to improving your Japanese conversation.
I want to use "Minna no Nihongo" as a textbook. I will take good care of each lesson and provide sufficient support to ensure that you can acquire it. First of all, it is important to become familiar with Japanese. I want to give lessons that match your learning pace.
If you are worried about Japanese particles and grammar, please join this class. There will be two textbooks used in this class, but we recommend that those who have learned the basics of Japanese participate. The basics of Japanese are, for example, "Minna no Nihongo I / II" and "Genki na nihongo I / II".

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.

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!

Online Japanese "GANBARU" class with native Japanese tutor
Welcome to my class! Please tell me what you aim with your Japanese study, for education, for JLPT, for traveling. Also tell me how you have studied Japanese. I carefully think which method and materials would work best for you. My class is customized for you and I am not the type of tutor who uses same materials for anyone. Before class time I devote preparing class for you and after class I will dedicate extra time for review to make your next class to be better. I know how to study Japanese and guide you to what you aim for (please take a look at my profile). I expect you to work hard, really hard, not only during class but before and after as well. I might ask you do homework to strengthen what needs extra practice. If you have a question that you noticed after class, contact me. Once you decide to take my classes, please trust me, study very hard for what you dream to get and make great effort for yourself. I have got your back!

A passionate teacher of Japanese (my native language), I offer personalized, interactive courses adapted to all levels. 🍡 Build your grammar foundations My comprehensive courses are based on books such as Minna no Nihongo or Irodori, as well as my own materials (slideshows, personalized documents). We approach vocabulary, grammar, conversation and listening in a progressive and interactive way. Are you a beginner? No worries, we will work from the basics using French or English to help you. 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! 🌸

Akiko
Experienced Japanese tutor: beginners, business Japanese, JLPT
Let me share my passion for languages with you. I am a native Japanese speaker who has lived around the world. As an adult, I learned English and Spanish, and now I'm also studying Chinese and Russian. For beginners, I find it best to start by learning basic grammar and vocabulary. For intermediate level and above, it depends on your preference, we can focus on conversation or working on JLPT exam, read news articles together, etc. I have over 7 years of experience working for Japanese and American financial firms in Tokyo's financial district. Much of that experience involved verbal and written translation between senior Japanese and American business people. If you are starting a new job with a Japanese firm, or have a temporary posting in Japan, I can help you prepare with the language and skills necessary to succeed! - Over 6000 hours of experience giving Japanese lessons - Worked with kids, adults, business professionals - I use "Genki" or "Minna no Nihongo" for beginners, "Quartet" or "Tobira" for intermediate leaners, but most important part of our lesson is that I will make you speak, rather than I explain the grammar for 30minutes. - "So matome", "Shinkaizen Master" for JLPT preparation,
