English and/or German Language - Conversation Practice

From 15.66 £ /h

Hello - my name is Lisa and I am originally from Germany. I am living and working in Japan for almost 3 years now and since April I am a student myself improving my Japanese skills. Therefore I will be very flexible and happy to help you with English and/or German. I don't have any further teaching experiences, but supported students before back in 2012 when i was an exchange student at Sophia University as well as in 2015 when I did my masters degree.
I am fluent in English and don't really have a strong accent at all, which should make speaking with me quite easy.

I'm looking forward to meeting you and help you to improve your language skills. I am open to meet around my area at a coffee shop for example as well as somewhere around Tokyo closer to your area or online via Skype, Zoom etc.
Let me know if you have any questions. :)

About Me

(German below) Hey - my name is Lisa and I am originally from a city close to Düsseldorf and Köln (Cologne) in Germany. I have been to Japan multiple times as a tourist and also as a student. At the moment I live in Japan permanently and used to work here for more than 2 years. However since I want to improve my poor Japanese skills, I decided to join a langauge school from April.

In my free time I love to travel, explore new places and do a lot of sports - well thats also because I love to eat! And Japan has a great variety of food and especially desserts.

Hallo - mein Name ist Lisa und ich komme aus einer Stadt in der Nähe von Düsseldorf und Köln. Ich war schon oft in Japan - sei es als Tourist oder als Student. Aktuell lebe ich in Japan seit fast 3 Jahren, von denen ich über 2 Jahre hier gearbeitet habe. Seit April bin ich allerdings selber wieder Student, da ich meine geringen Japanischkenntnisse verbessern möchte.

In meiner Freizeit liebe ich es zu reisen, neue Orte zu erkunden und mache gerne viel Sport - das liegt allerdings auch daran, da ich gerne sehr viel esse! Vor allem Süßes. Und Japan hat "leider" zu viele tolle Restaurants und Desserts!

🇬🇧 Hello!

I was born and raised in Paris. I have just arrived in Tokyo, and it would be a pleasure for me to teach French or English, the first which is my native language and which I have always taken care to use it well, the second in which I am very comfortable.

I am a very pedagogical and very patient person, moreover I propose the first session to get to know each other above all.
And fully understand the student's needs.
Looking forward to meeting you, whether online or face to face. 😁

As an engineering student, I can offer you tutoring or further study depending on your needs, for math. We can look at misunderstood course concepts, do exercises to apply the course, or go further to prepare for competitions or excel.
I am currently a graduate student at the Tokyo Institute of Technology and specialized in math.

I have already given around 600 hours of private tuition in the past (over the course of 6 years) and have helped 17 different students, aged between 13 and 22 (from Middle School to University level). They were all very satisfied, which is why I'd like to continue my tutoring adventure during my study year in Japan. I completed a preparatory class at the Lycée du Parc in Lyon, France (PCSI-PC*) and entered École des Ponts, so I can assure you that my knowledge is very solid. I try to make my lessons as lively as possible, and to instill in you as much curiosity as possible about the subject you need to learn.
I know how to adapt to each student so as to teach with the optimum method each time.
Please do not hesitate to contact me to discuss your requirements.

As someone who has recently started learning Japanese I can pay particular attention to differences between Japanese and English pronunciations and potential cultural pitfalls in daily conversations.

As a native French speaker currently finishing my Master's in Tokyo at Waseda University I'd be happy to provide help regarding either French or English. I can either teach the basics or more advanced courses; we can focus on whatever you prefer whether it is grammar, speaking, or even literature. I can also speak Japanese so we can communicate more easily. I look forward to speaking in French or English with you !
