Talk in Japanese with confidence! Your teacher will guide you!

From 55 C$ /h

Have you ever wondered why you can read and write Japanese but still can’t speak it?
You know the grammar, vocabulary, and expressions, but when it comes to speaking, it’s hard. Native Japanese speakers talk fast, use words you don’t know, and it can be difficult to make friends.

You need a teacher who understands your level and guides you step by step so you can actually use what you’ve learned. I offer lessons tailored to your level.

My students, even those who haven’t passed JLPT N5, can chat almost entirely in Japanese for an hour. With consistent practice, they gain the confidence to speak with native Japanese people, not just teachers.

If you want to be able to speak Japanese, give a lesson a try!

JLPT Last-Minute Preparation. Questions and mock tests(N5-N1)

61 C$ /h

Want to pass the JLPT?
This lesson focuses on working through practice questions and mock tests while identifying the areas you need to strengthen. Solve as many questions as you can, then review and check the ones you got wrong. Speed is also important.

In the lessons, we focus on solving questions in the same format as the JLPT. You’ll learn efficiently why you made mistakes, what to watch out for, and which points to review.

I also give advice on how to study outside of lesson time. Let’s work together to reach your goal!

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

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!

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.

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.

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

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.
