Private Japanese Tutor in Porto and Online

Konnichiwa!
My name is Kira.

As a non-native speaker who lived, studied, and worked in Japan for nearly 6 years (completing 2 years of intensive Japanese Language School, 2 years of Vocational College/Senmon Gakko, and worked full-time in Japan), I know firsthand what it takes to master the language from the ground up.

Native speakers often struggle to explain why grammar works the way it does, but having learned it systematically myself, I understand exactly where beginners get stuck from confusing particles (は vs が) to subtle pitch accents and natural intonation.

My Teaching Approach:
• Real-Life Conversation: Practical, everyday Japanese you can actually use immediately for travel, daily life, or media.

• Logical Cheat Sheets: Visual formula breakdowns and clear grammar notes so you don’t have to rely on dry, overwhelming memorization.
• Clear English Explanations: Step-by-step guidance in clear English to build your intuition and confidence without stress.
• Smooth Kana Foundation: Mastering Hiragana and Katakana cleanly before easing gently into essential Kanji.

Whether you are starting from absolute scratch or looking to polish your speaking confidence, lessons are fully tailored to your goals. Let’s make learning Japanese structured, logical, and fun!
