Private Japanese tutor in Auckland

Teacher joined in May, 2022

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. :) If you prefer learning polite Japanese, you can! as well with me. 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 where I had to speak very polite Japanese. That means I can also teach polite Japanese "keigo" from my experiences on top of text books. I also teach JLPT and customise your lessons to meet your goal, purposes etc if you have one. Thank you for choosing to learn Japanese! I hope you enjoy my lessons. ※ Basically, I do one on one lesson. If you would like to have lessons for more than 1 person, please let me know before you pay the fee here. Thank you.

Improve your Japanese with a native teacher

Hi, I'm Karen. My focus is to help you speak with confidence in real-life situations—whether you're ordering food at a sushi restaurant, asking for directions while traveling in Japan, or meeting new people. In our lessons, you'll learn essential words and phrases, and then we’ll put them into action through fun, interactive activities like role-play, card games, board games, Pictionary, and more. I try to make my lessons so enjoyable that you always look forward to the next one! I live in North Shore, Auckland. If you're in the area, please send me a message to discuss how I can help you reach your goals! 【Experience】 ・3 years teaching Japanese (I'm a native speaker) ・I usually use the book Marugoto for vocabulary, phrases, and grammar, but if you’d prefer to use something else, I’d be more than happy to accommodate! ・Levels: mainly beginners and intermediate ・Age: High school students to adults ・7 years teaching English (ages 5 to adults) 【More about me】 ・I have lived in the US, Sweden, and Australia ・I love comedy, including Modern Family and The Big Bang Theory ・My favorite animal is cats, especially exotic shorthairs ・I'm a huge fan of the author Barbra Sher. Her Ted Talk "Isolation is the Dream Killer, Not your Attitude" is available on YouTube if you're interested.

Japanese course in Auckland near you

Teacher joined in Mar, 2026

Hi, I'm from Japan. I'm currently living in Auckland on a working holiday visa. I'd love to help anyone who wants to learn Japanese or is interested in Japan. When I lived in Japan, I worked in early childhood education, so I can also teach Japanese to children. I believe that speaking is the best way to learn Japanese! I hope you'll enjoy learning Japanese while talking about various things like Japanese culture and food. I hope you'll enjoy learning about Japan and studying Japanese! I look forward to hearing from you!

Learn Japanese with private classes

Teacher joined in Mar, 2026

I was born in Japan and graduated from a public high school in Kanagawa Prefecture. I studied Film and Chinese at the University of Victoria in Wellington, New Zealand. Through this experience, I was blessed with both local and international friends, and I’ve taught Japanese both casually and professionally. I also worked at a translation company in Japan, where I had the privilege of working with people from many different countries. There, I helped explain and refine their Japanese, which deepened my passion for language and communication. All these experiences have made me confident — and excited — to teach and enjoy the Japanese language with learners of all levels. I know how challenging learning a new language can be, how nervous you might feel about making mistakes, and how rewarding it is to express yourself better than yesterday. If I can be of help on your learning journey, it would be my pleasure.

Private Japanese lessons in Auckland

Teacher joined in May, 2026

Hi everyone! I’m Atsuki, born and raised in Osaka! 🌟🇯🇵
And I absolutely love teaching! I majored in language education (EFL) at university, and I’m also a certified Japanese teacher 📚✨
 I can teach all levels—from complete beginners to advanced learners—and I’m happy to teach not only standard Japanese, but also the Kansai dialect and casual expressions (including slang). I focus on helping students learn real, natural, and practical Japanese.
My lessons are always tailored to your goals and learning style. I love using authentic materials, such as product packaging written in Japanese. Whenever possible, I also share screenshots of real messages and examples of how Japanese is used in daily life—both casually and formally. By taking my classes, you can immerse yourself in “real Japanese,” even from your home country. If you prefer structured lessons instead of conversation-based ones, we can also use Irodori, GENKI, or original materials. 
Let’s enjoy learning Japanese together! 🎌😊 Since I’m also a nationally licensed tour guide, I can introduce Japanese culture and famous sightseeing spots as well! 🗾🍣
And I’d love to learn about your culture too ✨

"Speaking in another language is no longer difficult with the help of a teacher. Getting corrections for your mistakes helps you continue to improve in each lesson."
