Hi! My name is Benjamin, but most people call me Ben. I have received the advanced Japanese certification from NUS (National University of Singapore) and have passed the N3 JLPT Exam and taking the N2 exam in December. Because I usually stay in Japan for around 5-6 months every year, I am able to teach Japanese that is more colloquial in a way that is easy for native English speakers to learn. For the past few years, I have been giving Japanese lessons to my friends in my free time and I can teach Beginner/ Intermediate Japanese (N5-N4). online classes are preferred, but I am open to 2 hour physical classes. Looking forward to hearing from you! よろしくお願いします！

[Only available for Online lessons] [WEEKDAYS] Hi there! - こんにちは！ Thanks very much for your interest in my Japanese class! My name is Aya, but I am mostly known as Ichi sensei. I roamed as a Japanese teacher in various private language schools in Asia for the past 5 years. In my journey, I've come across students from around the world with different cultural backgrounds and has broadened my perspective on teachers. Honestly, learning from my students is my favorite part of teaching! Language is more than a communication tool; it means understanding cultural and societal differences. Learning a language also means understanding the cultural baggage that comes with it. This is why I will make it a point to share with you Japanese culture and its intricacies in my lessons. I believe that having fun is a crucial element in learning; this is why I will be curating your lessons based on your interests; sports, anime, food, music, etc. Based on my experience, I am confident that I can cater to all students, from beginners, and advanced learners to students who want to excel for their JLPT. Regardless of your level, I want to share my passion for Japan with you! I look forward to embarking on this journey together! *Pricing* [3rd week onward, 1 hour per lesson.] -1 on 1 - $60/pax There is more discount rates for package price! If you have any inquiries on my pricing, please feel free to ask me about them! If there is anything, I can help clarify, please do not hesitate to ask. Thank you! - ありがとうございます！

With 29 years of teaching experience, I offer fun and personalized Japanese lessons for all levels. I believe learning should be both meaningful and enjoyable. For beginners, I use English and Mandarin to explain grammar. As students progress, I gradually switch to using only Japanese. I also offer assessment tests—written, oral, listening, and composition—for students who are interested. My students will also get chances to interact with native Japanese speakers through my own program. I’ve also taught students preparing for JLPT, O-Level, and A-Level exams, both in person and online. I enjoy traveling, reading, and playing golf, relaxing at beach in my free time!

Hi, I'm a Singaporean who has cleared my JLPT1 and Business Japanese Proficiency Test back when it was just JLPT1 and not N1. I did my exchange program at Waseda and worked in Japan for about 2.5 years before coming back. I currently still use Japanese on a daily basis due to my job requirements. I often get asked how I mastered the Japanese language, and my answer is always "you have to practise it daily". The best tip I can give is probably to get used to thinking in the Japanese Language and speaking to yourself in Japanese. Hence, if you are looking for someone to practice your conversational Japanese with, I might be a good fit for you!
