It's very hard to find authentic Japanese food in Dublin. But did you know it's easy to make it once you have the ingredients required? Teriyaki sauce is so easy to make, yet the packet premade ones you can find in supermarkets never tastes authentic! Karaage, the Japanese deep fried chicken is the dish that no Japanese restaurant in Dublin can make authentically. Lastly, if you are a matcha lover, you might want to know how to make Japanese desserts!
If you are interested in the Japanese Calligraphy "Shodo" in Dublin, look no further!
I had learnt Shodo for 5 years and have a "7 Dan level".
Shodo is very therapeutic like mindfulness and knowing the strokes of kanji will help you not only write them neatly and beautifully, but also be able to remember them well!
I'm based in Blackrock. My lessons are face-to-face at a cafe in Blackrock or at my student's home (when it's not too far from Blackrock/Stillorgan) as I don't drive and have young kids. Online lessons are available if students wish to practice speaking rather than learning grammar or working on a textbook. I can also teach Shodo(Japanese Calligraphy), Origami, and how to make karaage, teriyaki dishes and matcha desserts.
My availability changes every week except a 7-8pm slot (I'm available from 7-8pm every week on Mon-Wed, Sat and Sun) due to my husband's work schedule.
I have 3-4 days every week where I'm available from 2pm onwards. (Some week I'm available from Fri to Mon, other week I'm available from Tue to Thurs). I'm also available from 10:30-12:00 on weekdays.
I teach all ages and all levels (including Leaving Cert students).
I have 4 years one-on-one teaching experience (in Japan, Australia and Ireland) with adults, teens and kids.
I come from a Linguistic background (I have a degree in English Linguistics), which not many tutors actually do, but having the knowledge is extremely important when it comes to learning a language because the difficulties you face are often due to what your native language is and the difference between your native language and the language you are learning.
Before I started university, I wasn't confident in my English skills though I was always getting good grades at school. Being immersed into Linguistics taught me the whole new perspectives.
I offer advice and recommendations, but I usually let my students pick textbooks as every student has different preferences and goals.
Lessons can be tailored to meet individual requirements/requests.
I also offer my students translation/interpreting/proofreading services too should they need them.
Do you want to learn how to make origami?
Origami is so fun not only for kids but adults.
You get to learn origami with a Japanese teacher (me!).
I make origami gifts and bags for my sons' crèche because they are relatively easy to make and also unique!
This class is for beginners, so you don't have to worry about anything complex.
Origami can be a great hobby.

Chiaki
Japanese Lessons - Born in Tokyo, I have a Master's degree in Language Education and am certified in Japanese language teachingA passionate teacher of Japanese (my native language), I offer personalized, interactive courses adapted to all levels.
🍡 Build your grammar foundations
My comprehensive courses are based on books such as Minna no Nihongo or Irodori, as well as my own materials (slideshows, personalized documents). We approach vocabulary, grammar, conversation and listening in a progressive and interactive way.
Are you a beginner? No worries, we will work from the basics using French or English to help you. If you already have some knowledge, we will choose together the grammar points on which you will focus to progress effectively :)
🍡 Advanced Reading and Listening
For learners who already have a solid foundation, these courses help strengthen your reading and listening skills. If you have texts or content that you would like to explore, we will use them in class. Otherwise, I will provide you with resources adapted to your level and interests!
🍡 JLPT exam preparation
Prepare effectively for the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), a recognized exam that validates your level of Japanese. Whether it's to boost your chances for studies, a job or simply to challenge yourself, my courses will guide you with targeted exercises and strategies adapted to your level.
In the first lesson, we will discuss in Japanese/French/English to assess your level of Japanese, your expectations for the Japanese course, as well as the books we will use.
Each one-hour lesson takes place online or at my home in Prilly.
Organize your classes at your own pace: once a week, every two weeks, or even in intensive sessions lasting several hours!
I look forward to supporting you in your learning of Japanese, and sharing my culture with you! 🌸

Online Japanese "GANBARU" class with native Japanese tutorWelcome to my class! Please tell me what you aim with your Japanese study, for education, for JLPT, for traveling. Also tell me how you have studied Japanese. I carefully think which method and materials would work best for you.

Before class time I devote preparing class for you and after class I will dedicate extra time for review to make your next class to be better. I know how to study Japanese and guide you to what you aim for (please take a look at my profile). I expect you to work hard, really hard, not only during class but before and after as well. I might ask you do homework to strengthen what needs extra practice. If you have a question that you noticed after class, contact me. Once you decide to take my classes, please trust me, study very hard for what you dream to get and make great effort for yourself. I have got your back!

Speak Natural and Polite Korean with a Native Tutor✅ 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
- 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
