    Private Japanese lesson by qualified native Japanese teacher

    Welcome to my private classroom, where learning feels like hanging out at a friend’s cozy home!
    Say good-bye to nerves and hello to relaxed, effective learning.
    Plus, sometimes you can enjoy extra funs like a cup of coffee, singing, playing the piano, and even cooking.
    Join us for an unforgettable learning experience!

    My Japanese lessons are tailored for students currently learning Japanese. Traditional classroom settings often focus heavily on grammar explanations, leaving limited time for practical conversation practice. My aim is to bridge this gap by providing students with opportunities to engage in authentic communication, helping them build confidence in their ability to converse with native Japanese speakers.

    Regardless of your age or proficiency level, everyone is welcome to contact me and join lessons. I believe that effective communication skills are essential for thriving in real-world Japanese environments, and I’m here to support you on your language learning journeys.

    I’m a dedicated tutor, a certified Japanese instructor. With a warm personality, a great sense of humor, and a passion for connecting with students from around the world, she creates a supportive environment for your language journey. Plus, I’m fluent in English and Spanish and has a basic understanding of Chinese, Korean, Italian, and French.

    If you’re a short term traveler, adding sightseeing would be nice.

Before class time I devote preparing class for you and after class I will dedicate extra time for review to make your next class to be better. I know how to study Japanese and guide you to what you aim for (please take a look at my profile). I expect you to work hard, really hard, not only during class but before and after as well. I might ask you do homework to strengthen what needs extra practice. If you have a question that you noticed after class, contact me.

    Easy peasy Japanesey! Private lessons for the Japanese language!
    Easy peasy Japanesey! こんにちは(Konnichiwa)!!! A native Japanese tutor is here. Let me support your language 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!

    Rin

The focus is to enjoy learning! My goal is to keep the class to be challenging, but enjoyable at the same time. 👩‍🏫I might be able to give classes not only on the listed time. Let me know to discuss.

    Learn Korean with a Native Tutor | Grammar, Speaking, Writing, and Polite Korean
    ✅ Want to speak polite and natural Korean like a native? People often get so caught up in the methodology of learning Korean language, but it's not about what method you use. It's about how much input you get and how often you practice it. Many Korean textbooks for foreign learners include expressions that sound unnatural or even rude in real conversations. I'll help you avoid these and speak clearly and respectfully, just like real Koreans do. ✅ Who is this tutor? I’m a native Korean tutor with 4+ years of experience. I have lived and worked in Korea all my life. I value language, nature, simplicity and honesty. Helping others is one of the most rewarding parts of my life — that’s why I’m here. ✅ What you'll get: - Vocabulary, grammar, and sentence building - Native expressions and natural tone - Personalized feedback and lesson notes - Flexible Zoom lessons - Cultural context and local insight ✅ Lessons are online via Zoom. - I'm in Korea. (KST time zone) - Please be on time so we can use the full 60 minutes efficiently. - Important: Please contact me before booking to schedule your session time. Let's build your Korean step by step. As your tutor, I'll guide you with care so you can speak and write confidently and naturally. Thanks, Yeon

    Learn Japanese with me! I have over 10 years of experience, I guide you every step of the way, and I teach at all levels :)
    Hello, my name is Mika. I have over 10 years of experience as a Japanese teacher. I teach Japanese at various levels, from beginner to business. I also have extensive teaching experience in language schools, where I have participated in the creation of course curricula. Thanks to this experience, I can create a program tailored to your goals. My specialty is beginner level! I can teach with any textbook, but I love teaching with GENKI! But... video lessons are a little stressful, aren't they!? How does it work...? Are the teachers strict? Is it possible to learn Japanese without going to school...? Don't worry!! Grab a drink, sit down, and let me do it ;) I have taught many students and I am currently studying French because I live in France now, so I can understand your feeling. ★Important★ Remember these 3 things when you study: 1) a notebook and a pen 2) a drink 3) and your smile :) And here I am! I'm waiting in front of the computer! Let's study together!
