A patient and knowledgeable native tutor with a Linguistics degree offering Japanese lessons!
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.
I have been living in Ireland since 2018.
I have a degree in English Linguistics, in addition to being a translator/interpreter/proofreader.
I have hands on experience in learning another language (English) and have academic knowledge (Linguistics) so I'm passionate about what I do!
My hometown is Kochi (born and raised there), which is on Shikoku island. It's quite far from any major well-known cities like Tokyo, but I'd say it's a hidden gem. If you'd like to visit Shikoku (especially Kochi and Ehime), feel free to ask as I have loads of information :D
Fun fact about me: I did calligraphy (shodo) when I was growing up and have the level 7 cert. I went to Ehime University and worked in Nagoya & Hiroshima.
I like watching figure skating games (I'm the same age as the retired very popular skater Mao Asada). I have studied/worked in many English speaking countries including Canada, UK, Australia, New Zealand and of course, Ireland.
I look forward to having lessons with you!

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!
This "lesson" offers a place and opportunity where you can talk about anything that's related to Japan in English and you can also practice a bit of Japanese with me if you wish. I can also offer tips and recommendations if you are planning to visit Japan/sitting the Japanese leaving cert exam.
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.

Ayaka
Let's learn Japanese with a native through a casual talk-------About me
Name: Ayaka
Origin: Osaka
Japanese: Standard Japanese, Kansai dialect
Jobs: Flight Attendant (past), Yoga Instructor (active)
Hobbies: Traveling, Yoga, Photography, Walking and hiking, Cooking, Skiing, Animal lover
----------About the Lesson---------------------
The main focus will be on "Speaking."
Q. Why is speaking the main focus?
A. We want you to experience the joy of speaking Japanese through free talk. Just learning words from manga is not easy to understand what natives say in daily life. I will assist you in learning vocabulary and acquiring natural expressions by speaking with native Japanese speakers.
-----A message to the students at the end-----
I love cultural exchange and have a friendly personality. Having traveled to various countries and learning German, I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language firsthand. This makes me happy to be able to help you learn Japanese. I look forward to the day when we can have enjoyable conversations together.

Strategy Meeting - Check your "actual" Japanese levelWould you like to know what level your Japanese actually is? Would you like to know which part of your Japanese is in need of extra work? I will stay brutally honest to support you for upgrading Japanese efficiently. Like "no pain, no gain", weak points could be the sweet spot because it has the space to grow once you know what to do and how to work on.
My schedule could be flexible so please feel free to contact me!

My courses are adaptable according to your level and your objectives:
- Discovery of culture and language (great beginners and false beginners)
- Improvement to prepare JLPT 1-5 exams

We can work writing and speaking, with a method (Japan Foundation) or any other desired medium.

Fun and Easy Japanese with experienced native teacherI love languages and teaching Japanese is my passion. My major is linguistics (language acquisition) and I have very good knowledge of Japanese language as a foreign language.
I have 15 years of experience in teaching and I taught in secondary schools and universities both in Japan and abroad. You will definitely be able to have some conversation if you study with me!
Depending on your goal, we can work together!

I studied cross-cultural communication at a university in Tokyo and followed a Japanese language teacher education program established by the Japanese government.
These courses are intended for people who want to learn Japanese but also Japanese culture. Are you passionate about manga or cooking? Or do you want to chat with your Japanese or Japanese friends? Otherwise you want to travel or work in Japan? (Learn professional and important codes for all companies, officers and employees.)
I would happily teach you the Japanese and Japanese culture you need :)

Sachiko
Japanese Lessons with Sachi, I am an experienced Japanese teacherI enjoy cooking, painting, traveling, reading, and yoga. My lessons are extremely well planned and organized so there’s no time wasted and I enjoy forming a trusting relationship with my students. When students trust their teacher they feel free to ask questions and know that it’s okay to ask the same question repeatedly until they fully understand.
Another important feature of my lessons is the quality of my follow-up reviews. My reviews are meticulous, complete with footnotes that offer supplementary information. Because of my detailed feedback students not only learn during my lesson, but after it as well. I’m so happy to know that some of my students print out my reviews and keep them in a folder for self-study!
From the bottom of my heart, I want to thank all of my students I’ve met during my teaching career. They always make me laugh, feel warm inside, and motivate me to become a better teacher. Learning is a long journey so let’s have fun together and make it worth our time! I am looking forward to getting to know you!
