Find the Best Online Japanese Tutors & Teachers for Private Lessons

Classes with Rika are great, I've been learning with her for several months now and I'm 100% satisfied. We've had both physical and online classes, I was worried online would be difficult to learn from as it's been my experience in the past but I was very pleasantly surprised and since then we stick to online! After every class, Rika sends me slides of the new grammar we learnt including some sentences for me to translates as homework using the new and previous vocabulary/grammar. During physical classes, I wouldn't receive these recaps (which is a shame) but Rika would make me write down some of our dialogues so I would also practice writing. The way classes work is purely oral practice. Rika will ask me questions in order to create dialogue that I have to express in Japanese and the learning builds up from it. She is soooo patient when I take ages to express my sentence because I'm searching for my words or structure. Very kind and friendly too, you won't feel pressured nor judged to be proficient. Communication outside of class is clear and fast, she is very attentive and flexible. I'm a French speaker but we hold the class in English/Japanese as it's best for us both so I can't attest how it goes in French or Chinese/Japanese but I'm sure it works well too! Highly recommend!

Very friendly and patient teacher. She explains very well and also tells about Japanese culture. During the lesson we write everything down together so that you can always look back at the things you have learnt. She also does a great job at using material from previous lessons so you don't forget and also get a good feeling of progression. The lessons also have a lot of variety and are very interactive. Most important of all though is that the lessons themselves are very fun! Definitely recommend!

Going back to learning Japanese with Ayumi was the right choice. She caters to my wants and needs as a student, is dedicated in bringing new information and making sure I am learning correctly. She is a very enjoyable company and always has interesting topics to talk about, helping myself to improve really fast.
