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.

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!

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 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.

Do you study Japanese but rarely have the opportunity to actually speak it? This class is designed for learners who want to spend less time listening to explanations and more time expressing themselves in Japanese.

You will do most of the talking. I will ask follow-up questions, explore your answers in more depth, and help you keep the conversation going. We can talk about daily life, travel, work, Japanese culture, current interests, or any topic on which you would like to share your thoughts.

I previously worked as a consultant in Japan. Asking questions, leading discussions, and helping people organise and communicate their ideas clearly were important parts of my work. I use these skills to create conversations that go beyond simple small talk.

I will not interrupt you for every small mistake. You will first have the opportunity to finish expressing your thoughts. I will then help you correct important mistakes and introduce more natural ways of saying what you wanted to say.

After the lesson, I can also send you personalised feedback notes containing corrections, natural expressions, and alternative ways to communicate your ideas.

This class is ideal for learners who already know some basic Japanese but need more opportunities to speak. The aim is to improve your fluency, confidence, and ability to hold deeper conversations in Japanese.

Lessons are available in person in Groningen and online.

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!
