Emiko - TokyoC$51

C$51Private Japanese Lesson ― Conversation, Reading Comprehension, Writing, Academic Japanese

Trusted teacher: Hello, my name is Emi. I live in Tokyo and work in an office while also teaching Japanese. I majored in Economics at university and have over 20 years of experience working in back-office roles. Along the way, I enrolled in an art university and completed a master’s program in art studies while working. After working as a part-time university lecturer, I am currently writing my doctoral dissertation. About My Lessons Drawing on what I’ve learned through my professional experience and academic background, I offer practical and personalized lessons tailored to each learner’s needs. I provide lessons mainly in Japanese, but I can also support learners in English when necessary. You can feel relaxed and enjoy the learning process at your own pace. ◆Conversation Lessons: From Small Talk to Office Communication Target: Learners who want to improve their conversational skills in natural Japanese Content: Small talk, workplace interactions, phone and email communication, polite expressions, and selecting appropriate language depending on the situation, etc. In Japanese, honorifics and expressions vary subtly based on context and the relationship(level of familiarity or social distance) with the listener. My lessons help you naturally master these nuances by exploring the cultural values and thought patterns behind the language, while practicing realistic conversations. ◆Lessons Using the ‘GENKI’ Textbook Practice Sections Target: learners who being studing with GENKI or who want to review. Content: Adapted practice sections that are often difficult to tackle alone, focusing on sentence patterns and other grammar points. The goal is to reinforce what you have learned and help you use it confidently in conversation. ◆Reading Comprehension Lessons (News Articles / Novels / Essays, etc.) Target: Learners who want to deepen their understanding of written Japanese and enhance vocabulary and expression Content: Using authentic Japanese texts such as news articles, novels, and essays, we work on vocabulary, grammar, and contextual understanding to improve reading comprehension. You will also develop the ability to interpret cultural nuances and implied meanings, and engage in discussions to enhance your critical thinking and expressive skills. ◆Academic Japanese Target: University or graduate students, or those who need to prepare presentations or read and write papers ※For more details, please feel free to contact me. Lastly, a Few Words About My Approach to Teaching Japanese Having studied English and Spanish myself, I deeply appreciate the complexity and subtlety of Japanese expressions and culture. Japanese reflects unique cultural values and ways of thinking, and direct translations are often insufficient. By learning the cultural and contextual background behind expressions, you can achieve more natural and precise communication beyond just knowing vocabulary and grammar. Therefore, my lessons emphasize sharing the cultural nuances behind the language. This approach makes communication in Japanese more enjoyable and meaningful. Thank you for taking the time to read this. If you are interested in my lessons, please feel free to contact me.!!

Trusted teacher: Easy peasy Japanesey! こんにちは(Konnichiwa)!!! A native Japanese tutor is here. Let me support your linguistic 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.

That’s why I’d love to help you with mine, which happens to be one of the hardest!

He is an incredibly passionate and skilled teacher who makes even complex grammar easy to understand. His lessons were well-structured, engaging, and tailored to my needs. What truly sets him apart is his patience and dedication—he takes the time to explain every detail and provides valuable cultural insights alongside language learning. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve gained both confidence and significant improvement in my Japanese skills. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and inspiring Japanese teacher, Rito is the perfect choice! Highly recommended!

Private lessons to learn Japanese culture and language (Hettange-Grande)

Maki

For a long time I had been looking for a Japanese teacher in Luxembourg for private lessons until I found Maki-sensei. Her teaching style is really meeting my needs: she is encouraging me to talk more in Japanese while working on my vocabulary and grammar. She is using a range of teaching materials, such as text books, audio clips, short movie-clips, and articles from web-sites, which makes her lessons very enjoyable and rewarding. After the lesson Maki-sensei provides me with a write-up with newly learned words and corrections. I am always looking forward to the next lesson and strongly recommend her for anybody wanting to learn Japanese or about Japanese culture.
