I am a fellow student who loves learning Japanese and wants to help others with their learning journey!
I’ve been learning Japanese for 4 years now, and have been to Japan to study at a language school.
I’d like to help others who love Japanese just like I do, but don’t have an easy access, or motivation to do it on their own.

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 ^)

I am a Japanese woman who was born and raised in Osaka Japan.
I studied cross-cultural communication at a university in Tokyo and followed a Japanese language teacher education program established by the Japanese government.

These courses are intended for people who want to learn Japanese but also Japanese culture. Are you passionate about manga or cooking? Or do you want to chat with your Japanese or Japanese friends? Otherwise you want to travel or work in Japan? (Learn professional and important codes for all companies, officers and employees.)
I would happily teach you the Japanese and Japanese culture you need :)

Mes cours tournent en grande partie autour d'un manuel qui est à se procurer extérieurement mais ma priorité est de m'adapter aux envies de l'élève.
Cela se déroule généralement les dimanches mais les horaires peuvent varier en fonction des disponibilités de l'élève et des miennes.
J'offre également la possibilité d'assister au cours par deux, dans le cas où des ami(e)s souhaiteraient y participer ensemble.

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! 🌸

Beginners are very welcome! If you love Japanese culture, food, anime, or manga, and if you dream of visiting Japan someday and want to speak Japanese, my lessons are perfect for you!
I have been teaching Japanese online to Belgian students since 2023. I speak both English and French, so there is no problem even if you cannot speak Japanese yet. Let’s enjoy learning Japanese together!

・Many of my students start from zero—without knowing any hiragana or katakana.
With personalized guidance and clear explanations, they gradually gain confidence, and some of them are able to hold simple conversations in Japanese within only six months!

What you can expect in my lessons
・You can reach the JLPT N5 level in approximately 150 hours of study. (Reaching the N4 level requires an additional 150–200 hours of study.)
・You will learn many useful words and verbs commonly used in daily conversation.
・We will do plenty of output practice so that you can use newly introduced grammar and sentence patterns in real conversations.
・You will also improve your listening skills through regular dictation exercises.
・I can also help you prepare for the JLPT test.

Learning a new language can become a very powerful to connect you to all over the world. 636 million people speak Spanish globally, including 519 million native speakers and 117 million second-language speakers, making it the second most-spoken native language after Mandarin Chinese.

Spanish is an official language in 20 countries and is also widely spoken in places like the United States.

On the other hand, 125 million to 128 million people speak Japanese, with the vast majority being native speakers living in Japan. It is the eighth most spoken language globally and is characterized by a high geographical concentration in one country.

In my lessons, you can decide wether you would like to learn Spanish or Japanese, and you will learn effectively, at your own peace with all the necessary support, in English, and French.
