    Comprehensive Japanese Lessons: From Beginner to Advanced

    Are you ready to explore the Japanese language from the basics to more advanced conversation? In this class, we’ll cover fundamental grammar, practical expressions, and nuanced vocabulary to help you excel whether you’re a complete beginner or already comfortable with Japanese but want to refine your skills. I have over 10 years of private teaching experience and have worked with more than 100 students at various levels. I also completed a 420-hour training course, earning a formal qualification in Japanese language education. By using English explanations when needed, I ensure that lessons remain clear and enjoyable. Let’s embark on this journey together, mastering Japanese at your own pace.

    Yuka
    Private Japanese Lesson in Osaka for beginner/intermediate
    Hi! I’m Yuka, native Japanese. I was born and raised in Kyushu (south part of Japan) and now living in Osaka. I studied in Canada when I was a university student so English is available. If you are a beginner, I recommend studying Japanese in your language. (or the language you can understand well) If you go to a Japanese school in Japan, it's basically teaching in Japanese even for beginners and teachers don't understand English but I think that's not efficient. Of course, I try to make you use Japanese as much as you can because speaking is the most important thing. In my lesson, you get many opportunities to practice speaking! Now English is only available for my lesson but I'm studying Chinese and German so hopefully I will use them as well in the future! 中級者なら日本語でレッスンしますが、英語で質問しても大丈夫です。Once you start to speak Japanese, Japanese people just say "日本語上手ですね" and nobody corrects your Japanese even if you make many mistakes, so I can teach you proper Japanese for the intermediate level. I also have a license of teaching Japanese calligraphy, so if you're interested we can also have a class of it. きれいな文字や習字に興味がある人は、ぜひ! I also study other languages so I can understand how you feel. That's why I can be flexible for you, even in the middle of the lesson, you can always suggest things(what you wanna study, how you wanna study, etc...), then we can make the perfect lesson for you :) Please don’t hesitate to contact me. The best way to learn a new language is to speak and practice! Let’s enjoy our conversation! I’m looking forward to becoming your tutor and helping you with your learning experience :) We can meet face-to-face in cafes if you live in Kansai area(Osaka 大阪, Kobe 神戸, Hyogo 兵庫, Kyoto 京都). I usually have lesson in Umeda 梅田. Let me know if you have a preferred learning method/ textbook.

    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.

    James
    Global History/Japanese History and Culture/Academic English
    I teach a variety of lessons to students of a variety of ages as well as adults. These include courses in modern global history, Japanese history, language and culture, academic English (particularly designed to help non-native speakers develop reading and writing skills, and critical thinking). I can also offer tutoring to meet a specific need, such as preparation for GCSEs and A-levels.

    Strategy Meeting - Check your "actual" Japanese level
    Would 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!

    Your Native Korean Tutor | Korean Speaking Practice, Lessons, and Feedback for All Levels
    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. Hello, 안녕하세요! I'm Yeon, a native Korean tutor with 4 years of experience. In my lessons, you'll learn real Korean polite and natural phrases used in daily life. 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. What you'll get: - Vocabulary, grammar, and sentence building - Native expressions and natural tone - Personalized feedback and homework - Flexible Zoom lessons - Cultural context and local insight To improve, you need input and review. That's why I give homework to help you remember and use what you've learned. Note: I'm in Korea (KST). Please message me before booking to schedule a time. Join on time so we can use the full session. Let's build your Korean step by step. As your tutor, I'll guide you with care so you can speak and write confidently and naturally. Thank you, Yeon

    I am a Japanese woman who was born and raised in Osaka Japan. 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 :)
