Learn Japanese language and culture! (any level, JLPT N1 tutor)

Hello.

I am 23 years old Polish guy who just moved to Utrecht from Kyoto - yes, I know, quite a combination! I am currently pursuing MSc in Financial Management and possess two bachelor degrees - Economics and Japanese Studies - which I completed simultaneously.

I lived in Japan, Kyoto for a year where I attended 上級(advanced level, N1 and above) university course. I currently possess the N1 certificate.
I have also worked in a fully Japanese (Japanese capital, Japanese people, twisted Japanese business rules) company in Kyoto and am looking forward to sharing this experience with you!

I am open to teach anyone, be that a student or a working person, but I believe my knowledge would be the most useful for a person who is ultimately looking to use their gained skills in a professional setting.

If you wish to learn Japanese from the very beginning I am using the Genki textbook + workbook. Mastering (not only skimming through) Genki 1 and 2 with someone who can guide you along the way can get you very far in real-life conversation and - depending on the time commitment, will, and previous exposure to the language - can be done in a relatively short time.


For those who have already completed those textbooks - we will discuss your needs and adjust the lessons to that. Personally, based on the previous experiences I believe I could help you the most with "opening up" to freely converse in Japanese.

If you have any questions - hit me up! The lessons can be taught in Japanese, English, and Polish.

To maximize the value of my stay in Japan and understand Japanese corporate culture I have worked part-time in a Japanese ICT company, assisting the sales team in order processing and customer support. The entirety of the office work was conducted in Japanese, which allowed me to acquire not only university-taught Japanese but also the ability to use it proficiently in a business setting.

Reviews (1)

Konrad was very friendly and explained a lot of things right away about the system of learning Japanese. We got to start of the study quickly and he gave me home work which I'm happy about so I can study also at home before our next lesson!

Let's learn Japanese with a native through a casual talk
-------About me Name: Ayaka Origin: Osaka Japanese: Standard Japanese, Kansai dialect Jobs: Flight Attendant (past), Yoga Instructor (active) Hobbies: Traveling, Yoga, Photography, Walking and hiking, Cooking, Skiing, Animal lover ----------About the Lesson--------------------- The main focus will be on "Speaking." Q. Why is speaking the main focus? A. We want you to experience the joy of speaking Japanese through free talk. Just learning words from manga is not easy to understand what natives say in daily life. I will assist you in learning vocabulary and acquiring natural expressions by speaking with native Japanese speakers. -----A message to the students at the end----- I love cultural exchange and have a friendly personality. Having traveled to various countries and learning German, I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language firsthand. This makes me happy to be able to help you learn Japanese. I look forward to the day when we can have enjoyable conversations together.

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!

Hoshi
Online Japanese "GANBARU" class with native Japanese tutor
Welcome to my class! Please tell me what you aim with your Japanese study, for education, for JLPT, for traveling. Also tell me how you have studied Japanese. I carefully think which method and materials would work best for you. My class is customized for you and I am not the type of tutor who uses same materials for anyone. 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. Once you decide to take my classes, please trust me, study very hard for what you dream to get and make great effort for yourself. I have got your back!
