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 ^)

英語を学ぶことは、単語を覚えることではなく、自分を表現する力を育てることです。
In my classes, you’ll learn how to speak English naturally and confidently, step by step.

We’ll focus on:
• 💬 Real conversation practice for daily and business situations
• 🎧 Listening and pronunciation for clear, natural communication
• 📝 Grammar and vocabulary explained simply and visually
• 🌍 Cultural understanding to speak English with confidence abroad

I’m a multilingual teacher who lives in Japan and understands the challenges Japanese learners face — especially with pronunciation, sentence flow, and confidence. My goal is to help you feel relaxed, understood, and motivated while learning English you can actually use.

Let’s build your English fluency together — one natural conversation at a time.

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!

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.

Learn Japanese with a Native Japanese Teacher

Hello! I’m a native Japanese speaker and a Japanese teacher. I offer friendly and practical Japanese lessons for beginners and intermediate learners.

All lessons are conducted in Japanese. Don’t worry if you are a beginner! I will speak slowly and use simple Japanese according to your level. I’ll help you understand and express yourself step by step.

Whether you are learning Japanese for travel, work, hobbies, or simply because you love Japan, I will tailor the lessons to your goals and interests.

What we can study

* 🗣️ Everyday conversation and speaking practice
* ✈️ Useful Japanese for traveling in Japan
* 📖 Grammar and vocabulary
* ✍️ Reading and writing
* 有 Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji
* 🎌 Japanese culture and everyday life
* 💬 Natural Japanese expressions and pronunciation

If you would like to study with a textbook, I can also use the “Genki” textbook for our lessons. You will need to purchase and prepare your own copy of the textbook.

I believe the best way to learn a language is to use it and have fun. I encourage you to speak Japanese as much as possible during the lesson, even if you are still a beginner.

You don’t need to speak perfect Japanese to start communicating. Making mistakes is a natural part of learning, and I’ll support you along the way.

Hello! I’m Ryohei, a native Japanese speaker and tutor from Japan.

I can teach a wide range of topics, from basic Japanese characters, vocabulary, and grammar to more advanced and business-level Japanese. Whether you are just starting to learn Japanese or want to improve your existing skills, I will adjust my lessons to your level and learning goals.

As I was born and raised in Japan, I can teach not only correct written Japanese, but also natural and colloquial Japanese used in everyday conversations. I can also explain differences between textbook Japanese and the expressions that Japanese people actually use in real life.

Have you ever wondered why a character in an anime or movie says something in a particular way, or why they behave in a certain manner? I can explain these things while taking Japanese culture, customs, and communication styles into account. This will help you understand not only the language itself, but also the cultural background behind it.

I believe learning a language should be enjoyable and practical. Feel free to ask me any questions, and I’ll do my best to help you improve your Japanese step by step.

If you’re interested in learning Japanese with me, please feel free to send me a message! I look forward to meeting you and helping you enjoy learning Japanese!
