Classes for junior high students from academic performance (entrance exam for senior high school). Face-to-face instruction only.

From 45.31 C$ /h

This class is for junior high students who currently living in Japan who are preparing for the entrance exam for senior high school and are suffering from poor academic performance. In most cases, there is no single cause for poor academic performance, but rather a combination of factors. Adults may dismiss a child's inability to get a good score on a school test as a lack of understanding, but I will carefully explore the reasons why the students are struggling. Through my own experience of studying for the entrance exams (private junior high and university) as well as my teaching experience of more than 40 Japanese students, I'd like to help you.

About Me

After graduating from Keio University, I had been a private tutor for Japanese students and I have taught more than 40 students. I've got a lot of messages that students came to like the subject they were struggling the most, their exam score increased 20points, deviation score improved more than 20(for private junior high school exam), etc.

Also, I have always wanted to teach overseas people Japanese, so I passed Japanese teaching proficiency test and now I'm blessed with a lot of wonderful students. I have worked with a variety of students on short-term and long-term projects. Recently, I helped a student who wanted to enroll in a prestigious, world-class Japanese language school in Yokohama, Japan, get accepted with a full scholarship and partial living expenses paid.

Education

I attended a private integrated junior and senior high school called Ferris Jogakuin. This school is one of the top difficult schools in Japan. I then took the university entrance exam and went on to Keio University, where I majored in sociology.

Experience / Qualifications

I have passed Japanese language teaching competency test and I have taught over 40 international students living in Japan and around the world. Before this job, I helped Japanese children to study for entrance exams. I like teaching:)

Japanese language lessons: Grammer, Writing, Listening, Reading comprehension, and Japanese culture(All levels available!)

53.94 C$ /h

This class is for everyone who wants to learn Japanese, from beginner to advanced level. My students levels varies, from completely beginner to advanced(who has passed JLPT N1). For beginners, let's start from very basic part one! I will sincerely support those who have a serious desire to study Japanese. Japanese has a unique language system that is quite different from English and other European languages, but if you start from the basics carefully, you will be absolutely fine! I have recommended textbooks, so let's travel the world of Japanese together, little by little:) It is also very important to know culture or custom in which a language you've been studying is spoken, so I introduce our culture, manner, etc,, from time to time.

For advanced students, I can offer "academic" Japanese(writing essay, discussion, reading articles. etc), using my own experience of my studying as well as the experience of teaching Japanese students. Now I have a student who passed N1 and I assign him essay homework every week(I also ask him to work on reading comprehension problem because that is his weak point). Each course differs depending on students, let's create a class that you and I can do!

I specialize in tutoring Mathematics, Physics ,Compuational algorithm, Chemistry and English from school level to advanced level and the GRE, TOEFL and other national / international level competitive exams. My goal is to keep students challenged, but not overwhelmed. I assign homework after every lesson and provide periodic progress reports.

I adapt to any way of working, the goal being to achieve a deep and detailed understanding of the subject. The methodology depends on the preferences of each person to establish a relationship of trust and well-being. Classes are conducted on a follow-up so as not to lose momentum and optimize knowledge.

The science course strengthens knowledge in physics, chemistry and experimental science.
The math class helps to reinforce knowledge of algebra and geometry., trigoneometry and corrdinate geometry, basic to advanced number system, Differential and Integra; calculus..I can also teach very well any math topic you wish to study..

Hi,

My name is Haru and I have been teaching Japanese for 15 years now.
I am currently teaching 7 students, all foreign nationals living here in Japan.
Their Japanese language ability levels range from basic conversational ability all the way up to JLPT level 1.

My lesson style is ‘fun but strict’!
If you really want to improve your level of Japanese, please try my class!

<Daily Conversation・Business Talk >
Some people can read and understand Japanese, even very well, but their speaking ability is relatively low. This is often due to a lack of regular speaking opportunities!

During a 1 on 1 lesson, you can be in a distraction-free environment and do not have to be nervous about making mistakes - I can give you immediate feedback and corrections!

<Basic Program>
From beginner up to JLPT N1 level, class activities are based on your specific needs.
For beginners, we will usually begin by building the foundation of basic grammar.
For upper-level students, we will begin by practicing ‘skills for description’ and ‘skills for the expression’.

<JLPT>
Every Japanese student has heard of ‘JLPT’ (Japanese Language Proficiency Tests) which are held in July and December from levels 5 up to 1. Some companies have specific requirements for these qualifications.

I can teach you according to your desired level.
<Custom Program>
Do you want to try Japanese Cooking?
You can learn practical Japanese whilst cooking traditional foods!

I propose an efficient and productive working method.
After 2 years spent in a preparatory class for the Grandes Ecoles (MPSI, MP*), and numerous courses given in France, I understood that the secret of learning is based on productivity rather than quantity.
I know how to adapt to the students to allow them to have the best possible results in the shortest time, and thus make them want to continue to progress.

[ABOUT ME]
I’m Ryota, a native Japanese speaker living in Mitaka, Tokyo, and I’m here to help you learn Japanese in a fun and practical way. With strong English skills and a deep understanding of what it’s like to learn a second language, I can guide you through the tricky parts and make the process smoother.

[ABOUT THE SESSIONS]
Our sessions are going to be tailored to your particular goals and interests. If you’re a beginner, we’ll start with easy conversations or watching and discussing videos in Japanese. That way I can help you get used to the rhythm and flow of Japanese. If you’re a more advanced learner, perhaps preparing for the JLPT, we can review past exams together and focus on polishing your grammar and vocabulary to get you ready.

I’m also well-versed in Japanese traditions and culture—including anime and manga—so we can easily incorporate those into our lessons if they interest you. And if you’ve recently moved to Japan or are planning to, I can share insights and practical tips to help you navigate life here. (I’ve got plenty of expat friends and know the drill!)

If you’re looking for a supportive, chill tutor to guide you on your Japanese journey, I’d love to help. Let’s make learning Japanese an exciting and enjoyable experience together!

I offer an enjoyable Japanese lesson! Do you like Japanese culture, food or Manga? If you learn Japanese with me, you’ll be able to enjoy them!
If you don’t have any requests, then we use a text book and learn grammar etc with talking about Japanese culture. We can focus on the conversation as well.
I usually use more Katakana words because it’s more common now, useful and easy to memorize vocabulary for you.
It’s possible to go around together or only talk about something about Japan.
