Hello, I’m Nami Ichikawa. (市川 奈美) I am a certified Japanese language teacher who has been teaching since 2018. I attended KEC Japanese Language Institute, where I earned the 420 hour Advanced Japanese Teacher Training Course. I currently teach for an embassy in Tokyo, a highly regarded Japanese language academy, and a major international corporation. Teaching for such renowned institutions has strengthened my skills and passion for teaching others Japanese. I also teach Japanese on a freelance basis. Some these students from the institutions I previously taught at continue to take online lessons with me. Because I am able to explain Japanese grammar and concepts in English as well as Japanese, I am able to help students of any Japanese level learn well. My specialties include instruction in daily conversation, grammar for the JLPT exam, business Japanese, kanji, and accent training. I offer lessons over Zoom or in person. In addition to providing instructions, I am happy to curate and/or create custom-made curriculum to match your study goals and interests. My teaching philosophy It's important to learn the basics from textbooks, but if you do only that, you'll end up memorizing unnatural Japanese that’s not always useful in real-life situations. In my lessons, I use original teaching materials that prioritize what the students learning goals—what a student wants be able to do with their Japanese, and in what situations. In this way, studies with me progress in such a way that students can easily make use of their Japanese skills in real life. If you are interested in private Japanese lessons, feel free to message me! I guarantee your Japanese will improve.

こんにちは みなさん！I'm a native Japanese speaker born in Miyagi, Japan. I am offering direct teaching (Japanese to Japanese), but I also can offer a Japanese course taught in fluent Chinese (Mandarin) or English. I'm a multilingual speaker I had been staying in Shanghai for 6 years when I was younger, and I've been in Melbourne for almost 6 years as well. That's why I can speak fluent Mandarin and English. I believe many students have struggled to learn Japanese, as it has various grammar and words used differently from your own language. This is hardly explained in direct teaching, and why I'm here to help all Japanese learners who want to figure out the discrepancy between languages.

Hello everyone, こんにちは. My name is Masae, but all of my friends call me Matcha. I have been teaching Japanese and Chinese for more than three years. I had stayed in Shanghai, China for 6 years due to my parents' job when I was a kid. After I came back to Japan for high school, I decided to study abroad. Hence, I enrolled in the University of Melbourne after I graduated from high school in Tokyo. I have been teaching more than 80 students since I started tutoring languages. I personally prefer teaching a new language through the language the students are familiar with. I can teach Japanese or Chinese through English, Japanese, or Chinese because I'm fluent in all three languages:) I took the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test in the year 2023. In my free time, I love to watch anime and manga, but I also love cooking and spending some time digging into the understanding of Japanese culture.

I have been engaged with education since I graduated from a university after over fifteen years. I'm qualified as a schoolteacher in Japan's elementary, junior, high, and special needs. I like teaching itself. I have over 15 years of teaching experience. My teaching method is called the "direct method" in which my classes are taught using only Japanese. All my lessons, including explanations of grammar points, are conducted in Japanese rather than in the learners' native language.

- Have a certificate to teach Japanese - Speak Japanese/ English/ a little French - Have teaching experience for 2 years(volunteer)towards kids/adults Thank you for watching my profile. My name is Hitomi and I am a native Japanese speaker from Hokkaido. I speak standard Japanese, but I also speak Kansai directly, as I am originally from Kyoto. I have passed the " Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test" this autumn. I speak English and French (a little) as I lived in Canada and France for 11 years. If you are 0 0-level Japanese learner, do not worry about it, I will proceed with the lesson in English if necessary. In my lesson, I use the text "Genki" as it's written in English/Japanese so that you can understand Japanese grammar easily. But if you prefer to prepare for the test (JLPT), we focus on the test instead of using Genki. (It's ok to use your text if you would like to study with it) I am looking forward to seeing you soon, thanks!

Hi everyone! My name is Miyu. I was born and raised in Japan. I graduated from a university in New York and am currently working in advertising and production as a freelance. I stayed in New York for about five years, and this is where I improved my English. While studying in New York, I discovered my passion for teaching by starting my own Japanese class at the university. This experience made me realize how much I enjoy teaching! After returning to Japan, I also taught English to children for another two years. I have experience teaching Japanese in English, so I am comfortable using English to teach students from various countries and at different Japanese proficiency levels. Currently, I live in Kamakura with my family, so would love to have a session in the town such as at beach/ temples/ shrines etc. With a diverse background in teaching both English and Japanese to individuals of various ages, I bring a wealth of experience to the table. I’m excited to help you on your journey to mastering Japanese! はじめまして。ミユです。 アメリカの大学在学中に日本語の先生として経験をスタートしたので、英語で日本語を教えることができます。 日本では英語を子どもに教えた経験もあり、色んな国の人へ、それぞれのレベルに合わせてレッスンします。 カジュアルな会話から、ビジネスにおいての日本語スキルアップまで、それぞれの希望に合わせてレッスンを進めていきたいです。 鎌倉に住んでいるので、鎌倉でのレッスンもOKです。 よろしくおねがいします。

My name is Yuko and I am from Tokyo, Japan. Hi! I am Yuko, Japanese tutor. I am From Tokyo, Japan. I am a native Japanese speaker. I am a Japanese native. During my language study abroad in China, I taught Japanese to Chinese children. It is necessary to use colorful illustrations, stuffed animals, gestures, etc. to make learning fun for children. Even for adults, it is effective when learning a language to have materials that can be visualized visually. Once you can speak Japanese naturally, it will be a lot of fun. Speak a lot of Japanese with me and get natural Japanese. Let's learn Japanese together! Japan has a culture of hospitality. Hospitality is consideration and consideration towards customers. If you stay at a Japanese inn, the hostess will provide you with a warm welcome, consideration, and consideration. For example, I do everything I can to make sure I can eat a hot meal right away or to go to bed right away when I'm tired. There should also be some nice hot springs. Please try to find the best parts of Japan on your trip. I think that once you can speak the language, you will become aware of the deeper culture. Please come to love Japan!
