Konnichiwa!こんにちは!

Are you going to Japan? Do you like Mangas? The culture and the Japanese language attract you but you never dared to start?
On the contrary, you already have a good foundation and want to take the JLPT exam? Or maybe you have to speak Japanese at work?

My courses are adaptable according to your level and your objectives:
- Discovery of culture and language (great beginners and false beginners)
- Improvement to prepare JLPT 1-5 exams
- Professional needs

We can work writing and speaking, with a method (Japan Foundation) or any other desired medium.

Whatever your motivation and level, Maki Sensei is here to help! (^ O ^)

My name is Ron, a dedicated Dutch tutor based in Suriname. Originally trained as an HVAC engineer with the intention of continuing my father’s legacy, I transitioned into teaching during the pandemic after discovering my passion for language education. This shift allowed me to embrace remote work while connecting with learners globally. With a friendly and adaptable approach, I prioritize creating engaging, personalized lessons that foster confidence in conversational Dutch. Outside of teaching, I take pride in my family life as a happily married professional who finds fulfillment in helping others achieve their language goals.

I provide Japanese lessons for Japanese language learners.
I focus on conversation practice, correcting mistakes and showing you more natural expressions.
We may also study grammar and practice reading and listening comprehension as necessary.
In my lessons, I may use Japanese textbooks ("Minna no Nihongo" beginner level, "Irodori" online site) or original materials.

For beginners, I also use English or Chinese. At the intermedite levels, lessons are primarily conducted in Japanese so that students can be exposed to as much Japanese as possible.

Hi! I am Hiro from Japan and a master's student at the University of Tartu in Estonia.

As a native Japanese speaker, I offer Japanese courses from beginner to advanced levels. I can teach you exactly what you need regarding Japanese—reading, writing, listening, and speaking—and also accommodate requests if you want to learn about Japan, such as its culture, economy, and other topics, in Japanese or English.

Currently living in Tartu, I am happy to offer on-site lessons. While I cannot travel everywhere, I would be flexible with time and location. Feel free to reach out to discuss the location!

Planning a trip to Japan, or interested in Japanese culture?
Let's get you ready to communicate with confidence, one small step at a time!

In my lessons, you can:
* Learn practical Japanese phrases you'll actually use on your trip to Japan
* Write your name in Japanese and start recognizing Japanese characters
* Build simple sentences to express what YOU want to say
* Practice listening to and responding to what Japanese people say in everyday situations
* Ask me anything about daily life in Japan (I'm curious about you and your culture, too!)

My lessons are relaxed, patient, and tailored to your goals and pace.
Lessons are mainly in Japanese and English, and I can also offer some support in basic French.

Let's learn Japanese, share cultures, and discover Japan together!

My Japanese lessons can be individually tailored: If you only want to learn to speak and understand, we can of course focus on that – however, if you are more interested in reading and writing, we will focus accordingly.

As a native Japanese speaker who grew up in Tokyo and is a certified language trainer, I can easily tailor my lessons to your needs: whether you prefer a relaxed, slow learning pace or an intensive course. The most important thing is that you enjoy learning and make visible progress that you can be proud of :)

Depending on the circumstances, lessons can also take place on site (after prior arrangement), otherwise they take place very easily online.

I’m Lea, a native bilingual French–Japanese speaker, translator and interpreter, with JLPT N1. I’m based in Japan.

My lessons are immersive: we speak as much Japanese as possible from day one, through real-life situations (at the konbini, at a restaurant, while traveling...). I use my own illustrated worksheets, with answer keys and homework, so you keep progressing between lessons. Together, we set your goals: traveling, understanding anime or songs, passing the JLPT...

I teach in French, Japanese and English (intermediate level).

All levels are welcome. Book a lesson and let’s build your learning path together!

Hello! Do you dream of ordering ramen in Tokyo, understanding your anime without subtitles, passing the JLPT, or communicating with your Japanese colleagues? You've come to the right place!

My name is Célia, a passionate Japanese teacher with a Master's degree in Japanese Studies specializing in didactics and linguistics. I have been teaching for over 6 years to a wide variety of students: middle and high school students, adults retraining or in professional training, manga enthusiasts... and even learners on the other side of the world.

How are my classes going?
Here, there are no lessons where you copy vocabulary lists for an hour. I use an action-oriented approach: you learn Japanese by doing concrete things (introducing yourself, shopping, talking about your weekend, writing a message...). You speak from the very first session, at your own pace and without pressure.

Mistakes are welcome, that's how we progress!

What I offer you:
🌸 Learn hiragana and katakana in just a few weeks, with tips to easily remember them
🗣️ Speaking, speaking, and more speaking, in real-life situations
📚 A clear progression, with recognized textbooks (Marugoto, Genki...) or a 100% personalized program
🎯 Targeted preparation for the JLPT (N5 to N3)
🍵 And throughout the course, cultural gems: customs, folklore, everyday expressions... Because language is only a reflection of culture.

Whether you're a complete beginner, a student who has "started out on your own with an app", or a learner looking to take your skills to the next level: each course is tailored to your goals, your level and your pace. Children, teens and adults are all welcome.

Book your first lesson and let's take the first step together. Let's go!

Planning a trip to Japan? Want to read your first Japanese words or better understand the dialogues in your favorite manga? Start step by step, with explanations in English and a program adapted for beginners.

In the program :
• Hiragana and katakana to get into reading;
• Basic pronunciation, vocabulary and grammar;
• Initial interactions: introducing oneself, ordering, asking for directions;
• Short dialogues and manga excerpts based on your interests.

We distinguish between colloquial expressions and useful, polite everyday language. Each session combines review, exploration of a language point, and practical application.

My Japanese level is JLPT N2. These courses are designed for beginners and the first stages of learning.

English courses, in Toulouse, either in person or online.

First lesson — 1 hour: discussion about your objectives, discovery or identification of your basics, mini-lesson and guided dialogue, then review and proposal of a suitable path.
