Students can bring in their own school work or textbook and I can help look at content with them and explain concepts that they struggle with. We can study for exams and tests together! If there is homework or a project they need help with, I’d be more than happy to help as well.

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 ^)

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.
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!

The goal of this class is to achieve JLPT N1. This is for those who already obtain N2 or who have the knowledge equivalent to N2.

After achieving N2, maybe you lost your goal and don't know what to do or what to aim at. Maybe, N1 is on of your option. Achieving N1 is for sure a tough and rough way to go, but that is why I'm here!

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.

I offer relaxed and practical Japanese conversation sessions for learners who already have a basic understanding of the language (around N4 level or above).

This class is not a formal lesson with heavy grammar explanations. Instead, it focuses on helping you become more comfortable speaking Japanese in a natural and supportive environment.

We can practice:
Daily conversation (casual and polite Japanese)
Situational speaking (travel, restaurants, daily life in Japan)
Free conversation based on your interests
Review and light correction using your own textbook if you have one

As a native Japanese speaker with experience working in international environments, I understand how challenging it can be to start speaking a new language. I aim to create a relaxed space where you can practice without pressure.

If you are looking to improve your confidence and fluency, this class is for you.

Japanese language skills taught by a Japanese learner with 15 years experience. First, the hiragana script. Then, simple sentence structures, conjugation rules and practice, and increasingly complicated sentences and grammar. Listening and reading exercises from the web and tailored homework for each student.

My courses are suitable for beginners as well as more advanced learners.

I adapt to each person's objectives: conversation, trip preparation, reading and writing hiragana and katakana, grammar, exam preparation or simply discovering the Japanese language and culture.

I place great importance on oral communication so that you can use Japanese in real-life situations. Of course, we also work on grammar and vocabulary to build a solid foundation.

The atmosphere in the classes is relaxed and supportive. Making mistakes is part of learning, and my goal is to help you progress with confidence, at your own pace.

Whether you are learning Japanese for pleasure, for a personal or professional project, I would be delighted to accompany you on this adventure.
