Improve your Japanese with a native teacher

Teacher joined in Apr, 2026

Hello, I'm Kana! I'm a native Japanese speaker from Kansai, and I split my time between Europe and Japan. My husband is from Europe, so I often travel to Europe. 【A few words about me】 I graduated from a university of international studies in Japan, where I interacted with people from many different backgrounds and ethnicities. I have also studied abroad in Australia, travelled to many countries in Europe, and backpacked around various countries in Asia. I love discovering new languages and am currently studying Greek as a hobby. After university, I worked in various Japanese companies, where I gained firsthand experience with the etiquette, manners, and workplace culture of Japan. During that time, I also earned a certification in Keigo (敬語)—the Japanese system of honorific speech used to show respect and formality. Keigo is essential in business settings, and I can help you master its distinct vocabulary and grammar. While working in these companies, I held a position where I was responsible for teaching business Japanese and training new employees. That was my first experience teaching high-level Japanese. A few years later, I decided to attend a Japanese Language School in Osaka to become officially certified to teach Japanese, and so my journey as an educator began! 【My Teaching Style】 My students come from Asia, Europe, America, and Oceania. I have worked with many different types of learners and can easily adapt to your specific learning style. Come study Japanese with me! How can I help you? No matter what your goal is, I am here to help you achieve it. ● Business & Interviews: With my extensive knowledge of Japanese company culture, I can help you prepare for interviews and professional interactions if you are aiming to work at a Japanese company. ● JLPT Preparation: Beginners are very welcome! I provide lessons from N5 (Hiragana/Katakana and basic grammar) all the way up to N1 and Business Japanese. ● Natural Speech & Dialect: I can help you sound more natural when speaking. Plus, as a Kansai native, I can teach you Kansai-ben! This dialect is more melodic and direct than Standard Japanese and is famous for its use in Japanese comedy. ● Travel Japanese: If you are visiting Japan as a tourist, I can teach you the essentials for making reservations and ordering at restaurants. 【Your First Lesson】 In our trial lesson, we can discuss why you want to study Japanese and which parts of the culture interest you most. We will also decide which textbooks best suit your needs. I am very much looking forward to assisting you on your language learning journey. よろしくお願いします!

Teacher joined in Aug, 2026

Hi! I’m a native Japanese speaker based in Kobe. I’m currently a medical student, and I have also worked in professional environments where I regularly communicated in both Japanese and English. My lessons are especially suitable for people who want to improve practical, natural Japanese for everyday life in Japan. We can focus on conversation, pronunciation, useful expressions, or Japanese that you actually encounter at work, university, restaurants, hospitals, shops, and while traveling. If something is difficult to understand in Japanese, I can explain it in English, so beginners are very welcome. For intermediate or advanced learners, I can also help you sound more natural and explain differences in nuance, politeness, and how Japanese people actually speak in different situations. I’m happy to adapt lessons to your interests and goals. Rather than simply memorizing textbook phrases, I’d like to help you become comfortable actually using Japanese in Kobe and everyday life.

The most difficult part in learning a foreign language is the practice, which can be acquired only by conversing with a native speaker. For people willing to practice foreign languages, it is difficult to find a private language tutor who lives or works in their city. TUTOROO has been designed to provide a frictionless experience while connecting tutors to students, for private in-person language lessons.
