Teacher joined in Mar, 2024

Do you love Japanese culture (such as J-POP, Anime, and Manga)? Have you always wanted to learn the language? Well, you have come to the right place! My name is Sumi. I am a third-year university student studying Bachelor of Biomedical Science at Monash University. Whilst Japanese is my native language, I also speak English and Korean fluently. I tutor beginner, intermediate and advanced level Japanese. In my lessons, I cater to the academic needs and wants of my students, thereby effectively supporting their academic success. In my opinion, the best and easiest way to develop Japanese is to communicate and make a habit of primarily using the language. With my guidance and weekly tutoring, your speaking, reading, writing and listening skills will surely improve. Most importantly, my lessons will help build your confidence both academically and personally. I look forward to seeing you! よろしくお願いいたします!!

Improve your Japanese with a native tutor

Teacher joined in May, 2026

Hi! I'm Mieko! I was raised in the beautiful countryside of Gifu, Japan, and I would love to use this platform to help fellow Japanese speakers—regardless of your proficiency—practice and hone your communication skills. I offer both remote and in-person lessons. In each hour-long lesson, I teach Japanese the way I learned it: naturally and while having fun! Every student is unique, so I tailor each lesson to meet your specific needs and goals. Want to speak like a local? I’ll teach you natural, everyday Japanese that people actually use—no textbook phrases here! Interested in learning to read and write? Let’s work through hiragana, katakana, and kanji at your own pace while introducing new vocabulary. Whether you want to polish your grammar, practice your pronunciation, or if you’re a total beginner looking to level up, I have a lesson plan for you! Being raised in both languages allows me to understand both sides, which means I know what can be confusing and how to make it clearer for you. I look forward to teaching and having fun with Japanese together!

Japanese teacher in Melbourne near you

Teacher joined in Jun, 2026

Hi, my name is Hiro. I’m a student studying pharmacy in Australia. I speak 2 languages: English and Japanese. I was born in Osaka but have experience living in China, Taiwan, and Australia. I normally speak standard Japanese, but I can also use the Kansai dialect if you’d like to explore a more casual and regional style! My lessons focus mainly on improving your speaking skills so you can sound more natural and confident in real conversations. I can also help with writing, grammar, and vocabulary when needed. At the start, I’ll ask about your goals, whether you want casual conversation, business Japanese, or something in between, so I can tailor the lessons to you. I also offer three correction styles: • Chill – minimal corrections, just keep talking • Moderate – key mistakes and better expressions • Intense – detailed grammar and language feedback Learning Japanese can be challenging, but I’ll help you step by step. Let’s make it fun and effective!

For people willing to practice foreign languages, it is difficult to find a private language tutor who lives or works in their city.
