Learn Japanese with a French-Japanese bilingual tutor!

From 50 C$ /h

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!

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.

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.

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!

I teach Japanese and English for people of all levels. I use my background in linguistics to help students figure out the patterns to begin developing their skills in such a way as to continue to develop regardless of the content taught in class.

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!

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.

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