Japanese Class from a native Japanese speaker living in Utrecht!

From 43.32 C$ /h

Japanese language, Japanese culture, anime etc has been increasingly popular in many countries worldwide lately. Japanese is a difficult yet very beautiful and interesting language to learn. If you would like to learn Japanese, and learn about the life in Japan in general, you came to the right place! I give fun easy going lessons by mostly encouraging you to speak, because taking it into practice and talking is the quickest way to learn! It's a safe non judgemental space to make mistakes as much as you have to!

About Me

Hello!
My name is Alethea, and I am a violinist based in Utrecht. I have studied under Theodora Geraets, and Chris Duindam at Utrecht Conservatory. I have been teaching since 2019, and currently taking courses in the art of teaching. I love to help people progress, to not only teach but learn from each student. I believe each student is unique and has different needs in regard of methods and approach of lesson. Last but not least, I hope to be a teacher that would make the student leave the lesson with more motivation, encouragement and smile on their face:)

Education

Violin Lessons for children, adults, or anyone who wants to learn the violin!

59.99 C$ /h

I started taking violin lessons at the age of 7. After years of training, I am currently continuing my violin studies at Utrecht Conservatory. I have also attended music theory classes for 6 years because it is very useful to have some knowledge of it when playing any instrument. If you would like, I would be more than happy to share some knowledge of music theory along with the violin lessons. Lessons are private and not in groups.

Hello.

I am 23 years old Polish guy who just moved to Utrecht from Kyoto - yes, I know, quite a combination! I am currently pursuing MSc in Financial Management and possess two bachelor degrees - Economics and Japanese Studies - which I completed simultaneously.

I lived in Japan, Kyoto for a year where I attended 上級(advanced level, N1 and above) university course. I currently possess the N1 certificate.
I have also worked in a fully Japanese (Japanese capital, Japanese people, twisted Japanese business rules) company in Kyoto and am looking forward to sharing this experience with you!

I am open to teach anyone, be that a student or a working person, but I believe my knowledge would be the most useful for a person who is ultimately looking to use their gained skills in a professional setting.

If you wish to learn Japanese from the very beginning I am using the Genki textbook + workbook. Mastering (not only skimming through) Genki 1 and 2 with someone who can guide you along the way can get you very far in real-life conversation and - depending on the time commitment, will, and previous exposure to the language - can be done in a relatively short time.

For those who have already completed those textbooks - we will discuss your needs and adjust the lessons to that. Personally, based on the previous experiences I believe I could help you the most with "opening up" to freely converse in Japanese.

If you have any questions - hit me up! The lessons can be taught in Japanese, English, and Polish.

Hello there! はじめまして!
I am Risa from Tokyo, Japan.

I have various experiences in teaching Japanese culture and language from children to adults in English and Spanish.
I'm learning various languages as a non-native speaker, so I know how learning foreign languages can be challenging, but at the same time, so fun! :) The key to fluency is repetitive practices, from my experience.

What is your purpose to learn Japanese culture and language? In the first session, let me know your specific needs and objectives so as we can take the best way to achieve these goals.
Together we will practice the diverse proficiency skills (reading, writing, listening, and speaking).
The class will be semi-structured and flexible according to your needs and goals.

Feel free to contact me!

Japanese for children or adults. Conversational, or more serious..every individual has a purpose and goal for wanting to learn Japanese. Catering to the needs of each individual is a very important aspect to keeping up the love of the language and drive.

-Do you have an interest in Japan or Japanese culture?
-Do you (or are you planning to) travel to Japan?
-Would you like to have conversations with Japanese people?
-Do you want to learn Japanese just for fun?

As a freelance Japanese teacher, I have more than 13 years of experience and can support you in achieving your goals.
I can offer you basic Japanese lessons in conversation, reading and writing.
Lessons can be taken at your place in or around the Hague, or online via Skype, WhatsApp.
In my lessons students can make mistakes and move at their own speed so they can practice and speak more freely. I learned four languages, therefore I understand the difficulties and challenges involved.
If you are interested, please don’t hesitate to contact me.

I’m from Hiroshima, Japan! I live in Den Haag. We can practice talking Japanese in person or online.

I am 30 years old and from Hiroshima Prefecture. I have been living in the Netherlands for two years. While living in the Netherlands, I think it can be difficult to find opportunities to practice Japanese, but I would love to create opportunities for you to practice and improve your Japanese skills.
