£23Achieve Real Vietnamese Fluency in Just 2 Months – with a Native Speaker (5+ Years Experience, Proven Results, Tailored for You)

Trusted teacher: Speak Vietnamese Fluently in Just 2 Months! Hi! I'm Thương, a Vietnamese teacher from Hanoi – the heart of Vietnam's culture. I'm a patient, cheerful, friendly tutor who is passionate about helping international learners speak Vietnamese naturally and confidently. In my lessons, I use real-life stories and everyday conversations to help you not only improve your Vietnamese, but also understand the culture behind the language. Whether you're focusing on grammar or communication, I will always tailor the lessons to what you need most — so that you can see fast and meaningful progress. Whether you are: ✅ A complete beginner starting your Vietnamese journey ✅ Planning a trip to Vietnam and want to speak like a local ✅ Working or doing business in Vietnam and seeking deeper connections ✅ Moving to Vietnam to live with your loved ones ✅ Or simply fascinated by the Vietnamese language and culture — I have a personalized roadmap just for you. I’ve worked with students from Japan, South Korea, the U.S., Germany, China, and more – helping them not only master the Vietnamese language but also deeply understand the culture and people of Vietnam. I teach in the Northern Vietnamese accent (Hanoi dialect). I also speak English (TOEIC 800+) and Japanese (JLPT N2), which allows me to explain difficult concepts in an easy and understandable way. Outside of teaching, I love traveling, exploring, and taking international friends to discover local food, cultural sites, and hidden gems around Hanoi. I hold a professional certificate in Teaching Vietnamese as a Foreign Language. With over 5 years of experience, I have taught students of all levels – from absolute beginners to advanced learners aiming to use Vietnamese for work and daily life. What I offer: Vietnamese for everyday communication Vietnamese for travelers Vietnamese for work and business Correct pronunciation with the Northern accent Vietnamese culture, customs, and norms Focused skills practice: speaking, listening, reading, writing I also hold an International Tour Guide License, so if you're planning to visit Vietnam, I can guide you on amazing journeys across the country – from North to South. And when you’re in Hanoi, we can even study together offline at some chill cafés or beautiful cultural spots in the city – learning in the most fun and authentic way possible! Do you find Vietnamese tones hard to remember? Is the grammar too flexible and confusing? Maybe you’ve studied for a while, but still can’t speak naturally? Or you feel like Vietnamese is dry and difficult to enjoy? You might have thought: “Why is Vietnamese so hard...?” You’ve been there, right? 👉 I totally understand – many of my students have felt the same way at first. But don’t worry! With the right approach, Vietnamese can actually be fun, clear, and full of life. 🌱I’ll help you learn with simple, practical, and interactive lessons that match your pace and interests. Whether you want to speak confidently while traveling, understand your Vietnamese partner better, or simply explore this beautiful language and culture — I’m here to guide you. Together, we’ll turn confusion into clarity, and fear into confidence. 💪 Let’s make Vietnamese learning an enjoyable journey you’ll love! 👉 Don’t wait any longer – apply now and let’s start your Vietnamese journey together!

£27Speak Natural and Polite Korean with a Native Tutor

Trusted teacher: ✅ Want to speak polite and natural Korean like a native? People often get so caught up in the methodology of learning Korean language, but it's not about what method you use. It's about how much input you get and how often you practice it. Many Korean textbooks for foreign learners include expressions that sound unnatural or even rude in real conversations. I'll help you avoid these and speak clearly and respectfully, just like real Koreans do. ✅ Who is this tutor and what is this session? I'm Yeon, a native Korean tutor with 4 years of experience and an intermediate level of English. In this session, you'll practice Korean through real, structured conversation. The tone is relaxed but focused, with clear guidance and mutual respect. I'll gently correct your sentences and pronunciation as you speak, helping you sound more natural and confident. You'll pick up everyday language that's actually used in real conversations. Advanced learners can also work on tone, nuance, and fluency. This session is for respectful, sincere learners at any level. ✅ What you'll get: - Real-time speaking practice with live corrections - Natural and polite Korean expressions - Sentence-building and grammar guidance - Gentle correction during conversation - Simple review notes after each session - Cultural context from a native speaker - Zoom sessions from anywhere ✅ Lessons are online via Zoom. - I'm in Korea. (KST time zone) - Please be on time so we can use the full 60 minutes efficiently. - Please contact me before booking to schedule your session time. Let's build your Korean step by step. As your tutor, I'll guide you with care! Thank you, Yeon

Private lessons to learn Japanese culture and language (Hettange-Grande)

Maki

For a long time I had been looking for a Japanese teacher in Luxembourg for private lessons until I found Maki-sensei. Her teaching style is really meeting my needs: she is encouraging me to talk more in Japanese while working on my vocabulary and grammar. She is using a range of teaching materials, such as text books, audio clips, short movie-clips, and articles from web-sites, which makes her lessons very enjoyable and rewarding. After the lesson Maki-sensei provides me with a write-up with newly learned words and corrections. I am always looking forward to the next lesson and strongly recommend her for anybody wanting to learn Japanese or about Japanese culture.

Great teacher! Very prepared for each lesson and flexible in helping out with specific language problems. He quickly picks up on your level and then adapts his speaking and teaching to match it, while pushing for greater skills all the while in a fun way and with self designed tests and questions. Very eager to really help you along in speaking and understanding Japanese. 10/10 would recommend!
