Halu - Machida, Japan£23

£23Private Japanese lesson Tokyo(On line, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Machida)

Trusted teacher: Hi, My name is Haru and I have been teaching Japanese for 15 years now. I am currently teaching 7 students, all foreign nationals living here in Japan. Their Japanese language ability levels range from basic conversational ability all the way up to JLPT level 1. My lesson style is ‘fun but strict’! If you really want to improve your level of Japanese, please try my class! <Daily Conversation・Business Talk > Some people can read and understand Japanese, even very well, but their speaking ability is relatively low. This is often due to a lack of regular speaking opportunities! During a 1 on 1 lesson, you can be in a distraction-free environment and do not have to be nervous about making mistakes - I can give you immediate feedback and corrections! <Basic Program> From beginner up to JLPT N1 level, class activities are based on your specific needs. For beginners, we will usually begin by building the foundation of basic grammar. For upper-level students, we will begin by practicing ‘skills for description’ and ‘skills for the expression’. <JLPT> Every Japanese student has heard of ‘JLPT’ (Japanese Language Proficiency Tests) which are held in July and December from levels 5 up to 1. Some companies have specific requirements for these qualifications. I can teach you according to your desired level. <Custom Program> Do you want to try Japanese Cooking? You can learn practical Japanese whilst cooking traditional foods!

Ran

I really enjoyed my lesson with Ran. I managed to learn a great deal even just from our first session. She was really considerate of my goals at the beginning, and after gauging my current level, was able to strike a great balance that wasn't too easy or too difficult for me to grasp. She was well-prepared, and really kind and patient with me. She was really easy to communicate and get along with. I can tell that she really loves what she does, and puts her best effort into her lessons.
