About Me

I am a native Korean speaker with experience teaching Korean in an international environment.

I studied Japanese at a university in Japan and lived abroad for many years, which allows me to explain Korean clearly to non-native learners by comparing different languages and cultures.

I focus on practical, real-life communication and adapt lessons to each student's pace and goals, whether for daily life, travel, or exam preparation. I especially enjoy working with adult learners from diverse backgrounds.

I also hold DELF B1 certification, which helps me understand the challenges of learning a new language in a multilingual environment.

Education

University major in Japanese and English in Japan.

Through my university studies, I developed a strong understanding of language structure, communication, and cross-cultural differences, which helps me explain Korean clearly to non-native learners.

I have taught both students (14 - 18) and adults conversational Japanese, with specific focus on conversation and grammar. I will also provide basic understanding of Japanese culture and make this a fun, interactive and exciting learning experience.

I studied Japanese, oral and written, for 10 years, including 2 years in Japan. I have a JLPTn2 as well as a bachelor's and a master's degree in Asian studies. In addition, I have experience as a teacher.
My way of teaching Japanese is primarily aligned with the learner's objectives and the time he will have to devote to them. Whether it is grammar at all levels, discussion, reading, preparation for a trip to Japan, I will be happy to help.

Korea is a country with dynamic culture. Globalization and diverse platforms introduced K-pop, K-drama, and K-movies to a broader context. These very interesting entertainment contents can also be utilized as great language learning materials. I've designed this course as a practical guide to conversational Korean language as well as Korean culture.

You'll learn how to communicate in Korean, learn the meanings of lyrics of the songs, and understand embedded cultural meanings of vocabulary as well as expressions in Korean dramas and movies.

I am the owner of Haru Japanese Language School and also provide private Japanese lessons at your home or online while living in Switzerland or online when at home.
Many students have been helped to master Hiragana, Katakana, Romanji and Kanji.
I can also help you with conversational Japanese, listening, reading, translation or preparation for JLPT exams.

We are two Japanese teachers: Rena and Guillaume.

We teach Japanese in pairs, suitable for all levels—beginner, intermediate, or advanced—and all ages: children, teenagers, adults, or seniors.

We cover all programs: conversation, vocabulary, grammar, hiragana-katakana, kanji.

Do you want to learn Japanese effectively and adapted to your projects?

Do you want to acquire useful knowledge and progress naturally in order to reach a current level of Japanese?

If so, we're here to help you make your Japanese study a reality!

– Rena takes care of the parts: pronunciation, conversation and writing (hiragana, katakana, kanji).

- Guillaume is responsible for the explanation of grammar, conjugation and vocabulary.

Since 2015, we have been perfecting this type of teaching.

. You have a travel plan in Japan, but you do not have which manual would suit you best: We have created an ebook exclusively dedicated to travelers.

. You want to study Japanese in school and you want to have a solid foundation: We have the materials and the manuals adapted to your objectives.

. You wish to live in Japan on a working holiday visa (PVT): We can train you effectively so that you can integrate quickly into Japanese society (training in job interviews, business code, creating social links, etc.)

For false beginners, intermediate or advanced students, during the first lesson, we will assess your level and adapt the program based on the result.

For beginners, we will first look at the following points in detail: Learning to introduce yourself, saying your name, your age, what you like, etc.

We can't wait to start classes with you!

Our Mandarin Chinese and Japanese courses are designed for beginners who want to discover the language and culture, as well as intermediate students who want to improve their communication skills. At the beginner level, participants learn the essential basics: pronunciation, tones, and pinyin for Chinese; hiragana and katakana for Japanese; and simple vocabulary and grammar for introducing themselves, asking questions, and discussing everyday life. At the intermediate level, the program delves deeper into grammar, vocabulary, and oral expression to enable more natural conversations, reading dialogues or short texts, and writing more complex sentences, while discovering cultural aspects of both countries. Course content remains highly flexible and adapts to the needs, interests, and pace of each student, offering a personalized and motivating learning experience. Courses can be taken in English, allowing for better comprehension for native English learners or those who prefer to progress in a bilingual setting.
