Japanese Language Classes With an Experienced Teacher

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.

Easy peasy Japanesey! Private lessons for the Japanese language!
Easy peasy Japanesey! こんにちは(Konnichiwa)!!! A native Japanese tutor is here. Let me support your language journey with my hardest!! My lessons will be provided in English and Japanese! First of all, I truly appreciate and respect your decision to learn Japanese—one of the most challenging languages to master. Currently, I am also learning Arabic and French myself, so I completely understand how tough it is to learn new languages from the start, and there’s no easy way to acquire a new language. That’s why I’d love to help you with mine, which happens to be one of the hardest!

Chiaki

A 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! 🌸

Learn Korean with a Native Tutor | Grammar, Speaking, Writing, and Polite Korean
✅ 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? I’m a native Korean tutor with 4+ years of experience. I have lived and worked in Korea all my life. I value language, nature, simplicity and honesty. Helping others is one of the most rewarding parts of my life — that’s why I’m here. ✅ What you'll get: - Vocabulary, grammar, and sentence building - Native expressions and natural tone - Personalized feedback and lesson notes - Flexible Zoom lessons - Cultural context and local insight ✅ 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. - Important: 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 so you can speak and write confidently and naturally. Thanks, Yeon

Learn Japanese with me! I have over 10 years of experience, I guide you every step of the way, and I teach at all levels :)
Hello, my name is Mika. I have over 10 years of experience as a Japanese teacher. I teach Japanese at various levels, from beginner to business. I also have extensive teaching experience in language schools, where I have participated in the creation of course curricula. Thanks to this experience, I can create a program tailored to your goals. My specialty is beginner level! I can teach with any textbook, but I love teaching with GENKI! But... video lessons are a little stressful, aren't they!? How does it work...? Are the teachers strict? Is it possible to learn Japanese without going to school...? Don't worry!! Grab a drink, sit down, and let me do it ;) I have taught many students and I am currently studying French because I live in France now, so I can understand your feeling. ★Important★ Remember these 3 things when you study: 1) a notebook and a pen 2) a drink 3) and your smile :) And here I am! I'm waiting in front of the computer! Let's study together!
