Welcome to my Japanese lessons for kids and adults. This class is designed for learners who want to improve their Japanese in a practical, friendly, and personalized way. I teach children, teens, and adults from complete beginner to advanced levels. Lessons can focus on daily conversation, travel Japanese, school support, hiragana, katakana, kanji, reading practice, JLPT preparation, business Japanese, and Japanese culture. Each lesson is customized based on the student’s goals, level, interests, and learning style. For young learners, I use pictures, games, songs, stories, and simple speaking activities to make Japanese fun and easy to understand. Students can practice basic vocabulary, sentence patterns, reading, writing, and everyday expressions at their own pace. For adult learners, lessons can focus on useful Japanese for shopping, restaurants, travel, living in Japan, work situations, or natural conversation. If you are studying for the JLPT, we can work on vocabulary, grammar, reading comprehension, listening practice, and speaking confidence. I am a native Japanese speaker and bilingual in Japanese and English. I have 15 years of teaching experience and more than 8,000 hours of online teaching experience. My background includes teaching at elementary schools in Japan and the United States, working as a Japanese language teacher at a Japanese language school, and teaching Japanese to adults for the U.S. government for 10 years. I graduated from a faculty of education and hold teaching licenses for kindergarten and elementary school, as well as a Japanese language teacher certification. My lessons are supportive, flexible, and focused on helping each student use Japanese with confidence. Whether you are learning Japanese for school, daily life, travel, work, family, or personal interest, I will create lessons that match your needs.

Trusted teacher: A passionate teacher of Japanese (my native language), I offer personalized, interactive courses adapted to all levels. 🍡 Build your grammar foundations My comprehensive courses are based on books such as Minna no Nihongo or Irodori, as well as my own materials (slideshows, personalized documents). We approach vocabulary, grammar, conversation and listening in a progressive and interactive way. Are you a beginner? No worries, we will work from the basics using French or English to help you. If you already have some knowledge, we will choose together the grammar points on which you will focus to progress effectively :) 🍡 Advanced Reading and Listening For learners who already have a solid foundation, these courses help strengthen your reading and listening skills. If you have texts or content that you would like to explore, we will use them in class. Otherwise, I will provide you with resources adapted to your level and interests! 🍡 JLPT exam preparation Prepare effectively for the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), a recognized exam that validates your level of Japanese. Whether it's to boost your chances for studies, a job or simply to challenge yourself, my courses will guide you with targeted exercises and strategies adapted to your level. In the first lesson, we will discuss in Japanese/French/English to assess your level of Japanese, your expectations for the Japanese course, as well as the books we will use. Each one-hour lesson takes place online or at my home in Prilly. Organize your classes at your own pace: once a week, every two weeks, or even in intensive sessions lasting several hours! I look forward to supporting you in your learning of Japanese, and sharing my culture with you! 🌸

Hello everyone! I’m Yuka, a native speaker from Kanagawa Prefecture. n I currently live in Madrid and study Spanish at a language school. I have over 6 years of experience teaching languages. In Japan, I worked at an English academy where I taught a wide range of students—from children as young as one year old to intermediate-level adults. What would you like to achieve with Japanese? Travel? Watch anime without subtitles? Or perhaps work in Japan? Whatever your goal is, I will fully support you in achieving it. The most important thing in my lessons is not just memorizing what’s in textbooks, but mastering “real Japanese” as it’s actually used by native speakers in daily life. Naturalness and Etiquette: I will teach you slang that you won’t find in dictionaries, as well as appropriate behavior in Japanese society and the cultural background behind our way of thinking. I’ll also share my knowledge about current trends in Japan, the best food, and hidden spots that tourists often miss. Personalized Curriculum: I tailor lesson content flexibly according to your interests—whether for hobbies, work, or official certification. What’s your goal? Tell me, and let’s get started! 【What You Can Learn in My Classes】 My current students are very diverse, ranging from complete beginners to those who already understand grammar and want to practice real-life conversations, such as in restaurants or while traveling. Conversation Practice: Role-playing real-life situations Grammar, Vocabulary & JLPT Preparation: Efficient learning for all levels of the official Japanese exam Professional & Career Support: Working Holiday preparation, CV writing, job hunting in Japan, and mock interviews Classes for Children: Recommended for ages 10 and up Learning Materials: We will use textbooks such as Marugoto, Minna no Nihongo, and GENKI. For exam preparation, you’ll also have access to original materials and online PDFs.

Khalil カル
rating star
rating green star
I recommend Khalil without a doubt to anyone looking to improve his/her German level in both writing and speaking. He is a very professional, structured and knowledgeable teacher. He was able to immediately evaluate my level of German during the very first lesson and adjust the teaching methodology and materials accordingly. I am truly impressed with his patience and dedication towards teaching the proper German pronunciation with all its complexities and difficulties as well as the proper rules when it comes to grammar and language. We also had lessons using Skype which is also a good option for those who have a limited amount of spare time or are too far apart from the teacher. It is obvious that Khalil loves what he is doing and is willing to put all his effort into his passion. I wholeheartedly recommend Khalil for anyone wanting to learn the language.

Private lessons to learn Japanese culture and language (Hettange-Grande)
Maki
rating star
rating green star
For a long time I had been looking for a Japanese teacher in Luxembourg for private lessons until I found Maki-sensei. Her teaching style is really meeting my needs: she is encouraging me to talk more in Japanese while working on my vocabulary and grammar. She is using a range of teaching materials, such as text books, audio clips, short movie-clips, and articles from web-sites, which makes her lessons very enjoyable and rewarding. After the lesson Maki-sensei provides me with a write-up with newly learned words and corrections. I am always looking forward to the next lesson and strongly recommend her for anybody wanting to learn Japanese or about Japanese culture.
