Japanese Language Classes With an Experienced Teacher

From 23.22 £ /h

Hi everyone! I lived in Japan for a year and a half, first as a Japanese studies student at Ochanomizu University and then as a trainee for Japanese language teachers at Japan Foundation Institute in Saitama. I've been around the Japanese language since 2008 and teaching it since 2012, individually and at private language schools. I also worked as a Japanese speaking tour-guide for around four years and occasionally worked as an interpreter.
My teaching approach is focused on communication and based on real-life situations as I feel students get more motivated if they feel they can use their knowledge outside of the classroom. However, as a grammar freak, I can add a bit of extra focus on it if needed.
I am very communicative, open and supportive since I had to go through the process of learning Japanese myself which I find a beneficial experience for beginners' level.

About Me

As a teacher, first I try to establish a good connection and a pleasant atmosphere between my students and me as a base for good teaching/learning experience. I listen to my student's wishes and try to incorporate them into my own teaching style which is communicational and logical. I tend to use a lot of materials outside of the language book as I believe that insisting on the same structure all the time can be dull.

Japanese language, Japanese culture, anime etc has been increasingly popular in many countries worldwide lately. Japanese is a difficult yet very beautiful and interesting language to learn. If you would like to learn Japanese, and learn about the life in Japan in general, you came to the right place! I give fun easy going lessons by mostly encouraging you to speak, because taking it into practice and talking is the quickest way to learn! It's a safe non judgemental space to make mistakes as much as you have to!

-Do you have an interest in Japan or Japanese culture?
-Do you (or are you planning to) travel to Japan?
-Would you like to have conversations with Japanese people?
-Do you want to learn Japanese just for fun?

As a freelance Japanese teacher, I have more than 13 years of experience and can support you in achieving your goals.
I can offer you basic Japanese lessons in conversation, reading and writing.
Lessons can be taken at your place in or around the Hague, or online via Skype, WhatsApp.
In my lessons students can make mistakes and move at their own speed so they can practice and speak more freely. I learned four languages, therefore I understand the difficulties and challenges involved.
If you are interested, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

I’m from Hiroshima, Japan! I live in Den Haag. We can practice talking Japanese in person or online.

I am 30 years old and from Hiroshima Prefecture. I have been living in the Netherlands for two years. While living in the Netherlands, I think it can be difficult to find opportunities to practice Japanese, but I would love to create opportunities for you to practice and improve your Japanese skills.
