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!

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.

Bringing your interests in to learning is one of the best ways to acquire a new language! In this class, students are expected to bring a chosen anime episode, song, or anything else that is Japanese to flesh out parts that they have questions about. Common questions are "Why do they use this word instead of that one?" "What does it mean when they say ____?"

This class is recommended for intermediate to advanced Japanese leaners who aspire to learn Kanji, new words, and correct pronunciation. Students can identify what they would want to focus in each class (i.e. Kanji, vocabulary, pronunciation) and can choose whether they would like to talk in Japanese or English during the class.

Hello there! 😊 I'm a native Japanese speaker and I'm so excited to help you on your language journey.

Actually, I work as a cram school tutor here in Japan, so I have plenty of experience and confidence in teaching students and helping them succeed!

In my lessons, we’ll move beyond the stiff textbook phrases and focus on "real, living Japanese"—the kind of language people actually use in daily conversations and at work in Japan. We’re going to have a lot of fun together!

This class is perfect for you if:

・You’re a complete beginner and want to learn the basics at a comfortable pace.

・You love anime, J-dramas, or J-pop and want to understand the lines without subtitles.

・You want to practice natural free-talking for travel, daily life, or working in Japan.

・You want to polish your pronunciation and sound more like a native speaker.

Every lesson is fully customized to fit your own goals and pace. Don't worry about making mistakes at all—that's how we learn! Let's relax, chat, and level up your Japanese together.

Feel free to send me a message anytime. I can’t wait to meet you!

Please note that in-person lessons will be available starting late September 2026.

I offer Japanese courses adapted to all levels, from complete beginners to learners wishing to prepare for the JLPT or develop their professional Japanese.
I lived in Japan for over 4 years, including 3 years working for a Japanese company, which allowed me to acquire excellent command of the language, but also a deep understanding of Japanese culture and communication in a professional context.

Having earned my JLPT N1, I also understand the challenges faced by French speakers, as I myself learned Japanese to the highest level of certification. My goal is to make this learning process clear, progressive, and motivating.

My courses can help you to:

* Beginners in Japanese.
* Prepare for the JLPT (N5 to N1).
* Improve your speaking skills and comprehension.
* Preparing for a trip or an expatriation project.
* Learn professional Japanese and the codes of Japanese corporate culture.

Each lesson is fully personalized to your goals, level, and learning pace. I place great emphasis on practice and understanding so that you can use Japanese confidently in real-life situations.

I also speak fluent English, which allows me to offer lessons in French or English, depending on your preference.

Looking forward to accompanying you in your Japanese learning journey!
