Hi there, I am a native Malaysian and I speak Mandarin, Japanese, Cantonese and English. Mandarin is the native language I have been using since I was a kid. They seem complicated, but once you understand how Mandarin works, you understand that it's actually quite interesting. I studied Japanese at a language school in Japan for about two years (the reason for studying was to learn about the game) and passed the Japanese Language Proficiency Test N2 and N1 in two years, taking classes at a specialized school for the remaining two years. After graduating and returning to Malaysia, I started using Japanese in my career as a Japanese translator and coordinator for a CG production company, and then have been working in the medical industry as an administrative and HR assistant. Currently, I am a freelance Japanese speaker. I believe that if people who want to learn Japanese persist in their passion and perseverance for learning a language, the success rate of any language process will be higher. The reason why I think so is that I went to Japan to study abroad even though I didn't know the basic fifty sounds of the Japanese language and I was only motivated to learn Japanese. I hope that my past study abroad experience will help those who are interested in learning Japanese to master simple Japanese and Mandarin in their areas of interest, and to enjoy and feel the cultural charm of Japanese and Mandarin in the process, so I welcome those who are interested in learning Japanese and Mandarin to contact me. Japanese classes can be conducted in Mandarin, Cantonese or basic English. Chinese classes can be conducted in Cantonese, Japanese, or basic English. The more commonly used textbooks are Minna no nihongo, Marugoto. The teaching style can be adjusted according to the needs of the students. For example, using regular textbooks + watching movies/cartoons, or conversations + playing games to teach. **Tips** 1) It takes an estimated 1 month to master Hiragana/Katakana (1-2 weeks for fast learners who are diligent in memorizing and practicing writing 25-50 times a day). 2) The official estimate for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test is that it takes about 6-8 months to fully master the N5 level, and about 6 months to 1 year for the N4 level. (In fact, if learners are willing to spend more time on the course and self-study, it will shorten the overall time required). Current class times availability Monday 10:30am-12pm,1:30pm-3:30pm Tuesday 10:30am-12pm,1:30pm-3:30pm,7:00pm-9:00pm Wednesday 10:30am-12pm Thursday 10:30am-12pm,1:30pm-3:30pm,7:00pm-9:00pm Friday 10:30am-12pm,1:30pm-3:30pm Saturday and Sunday 10:30am-12pm,1:30pm-4:30pm,7:00pm-9:00pm Online and face-to-face classes are available. Face-to-face classes are recommended to meet in public places, such as cafes, malls and fast food restaurants. My own preferred venue is Midvalley, or we can discuss where we want to meet. 1) Offer the option to go to a public place near the student to teach 2) Offer the option of teaching at the student's home (preference will be given to students under the age of 12). **All of the above options require additional transportation fee per session (petrol + toll + parking + time required to commute). **No additional transportation fee if within 7km from my location. It would be appreciated if you could have a chat with me before making an appointment. If you feel out of place after the consultation, you can reply directly in one sentence to avoid left on read :)

Hi! I am Ayaka from Tokyo, where tradition and modernity mix. I have taught Japanese to my friends voluntarily during university and came to one conclusion: culture plays a distinct role in our spoken and written language. When speaking to elders, parents, friends, children, your colleagues, the language slightly changes to express different levels of politeness. Through my classes, I will walk you through Japanese that you can actively use in professional and personal settings. I can tailor our sessions to your liking. If your goal is to be able to watch anime without reading the subtitles, we can focus on learning new vocabulary and strengthening your listening skills. If you wish to learn kanji and the meaning behind each word, we can dive into a deep, nerdy conversation. If you wish to learn about Japanese culture, I will blow your mind away with the most jaw-dropping traditions, interesting temples, and amazing food. If you want to be able to confidently speak Japanese, I am here. I can give you advice and help you with grammar and intonation. If textbooks are your jam, we can hit the books. I got you covered. I learned Czech, English, and a little bit of Latin and Italian. I know how difficult languages can be, but I also know that learning can be fun when done right. Remember, I am here to help you!

(ONLINE LESSON) Living in Japan for almost 7years. I use Japanese in my work and daily life. I'm an N2 passer. I studied Japanese here in Japan for almost 1 and a half years. It’s really hard to learn Japanese but if you have the determination and willingness we can make it easier. Kanji , hiragana, katakana are the 3 writings in Japanese. We can start with katakana and hiragana (memorizing the writing and reading) and then the Kanji. It’s hard but it will be fun to learn Japanese. Talking in Japanese is also one way to make it easier to learn. Don’t hesitate to ask. 皆さん待っています。

(Offers ONLINE Lessons only) Hello Japanese learners! I am Anju. I have several teaching experiences with students at the age of 13-18. I am also a diligent student of English and French, and I know that learning a new language is sometimes hard and seems impossible to get to the goal. I believe that having a friend to chat with in the language is really important and that is the closest way to be successful in the future. "Learn Japanese like chatting with a friend" is my way of teaching you and we will have a lot of fun together!! I am very looking forward to seeing you. PS: Available for online lessons

(ONLY AVAILABLE FOR ONLINE LESSONS OR FACE-TO-FACE LESSONS IN KATIPUNAN, QC ) I started self-studying Japanese back in high school and managed to get to an N2 level through on and off studying. I am currently working towards N1 in Japanese. On top of this, I study Spanish (B2), Chinese (HSK 4) and Russian (A2). I have experimented with different learning methods with different languages and am familiar with the nuances of most languages, the struggles of language learning. As a result, I am committed to forming the best teaching methods for students. I try to focus more on exposure than classroom learning when teaching people but I will happily adjust to the preferences of the student. Learning a language and teaching a language are both neverending journeys and I would be happy to support you in your journey while learning myself.

Keen to learn "raw" Japanese? Hajimemashite, はじめまして！ As well as I have experiences as an assistant Japanese teacher, I keep my Japanese alive by connecting with Japanese in different age groups in Japan through live-streamings. :) I also taught Japanese in an organization which I enjoyed a lot. One of the things I surprised... so many male students spoke "feminine" Japanese without knowing it..as they have more chance to learn it from ladies than gentlemen. This is just an example, I am excited to teach you "real" and "raw" Japanese with a laugh.... I love comedy, too. :) I used to be a tour leader in Japan ~ I have been to many places -from Hokkaido to Okinawa- for work and also as holidays. As I mentioned above, Now I enjoy live-streamings by Japanese voice actors and interact with their listeners in Japan which keep me updated with "raw" Japanese and what's on in Japan. Oh, just in case, If you prefer learning polite Japanese, I can! as well, of course. When I was in Japan, I worked at an office as well as 5-star hotels and VIP only Japanese private restaurants affiliated with a bank. As I mentioned above, I also helped proper exam-ready Japanese classes. Thank you for choosing to learn Japanese! I hope you enjoy my lesson. Arigatou :)

Hi, I'm Xin. I am a Japan university graduate in science & engineering background. I lived in Japan for 5 years and have obtained my JLPT N1 level qualification in 2006 and 2017.

Lessons ONLINE only Hi! My name is Ming, and I am currently in university. I took Japanese as a subject since Secondary 1 as well as H2 Japanese in JC. Since I am considering Japan-related careers in the future, I would like to teach beginner/intermediate-level Japanese to keep in touch with my language skills. In terms of qualifications, I received the LEP (Language Elective Programme) Pre-U scholarship from the Ministry of Education and obtained a JLPT N2 pass last year. I received an A grade for my H2 Japanese Preliminary exams and a B grade in my A Level examinations. I have participated in two immersion trips to Japan as well as several local immersions with the Japanese schools in Singapore. I have also taken part in a student-initiated VIA project to teach beginner-level Japanese to disadvantaged local children by partnering with the CDAC. I am willing to offer reasonable prices, flexible scheduling and online lessons in light of the current pandemic. If you have no/little prior experience learning Japanese and would like someone to guide you through the basics (writing systems, simple conversations, common vocabulary etc.), I may just be the right tutor for you :) Thank you!
