Konnichiwa! I’m a fun, friendly Japanese teacher with over five years of experience teaching private and group lessons. I offer engaging online Japanese classes for beginners to advanced learners, focusing on real-life communication, confidence, and enjoying the learning process. Lessons are dynamic, personalised, and designed to keep you motivated and making progress. If you are looking for the class for conversation-only, JLPT prep, or absolute beginners, totally fine! Let's start your Japanese journey together! In my lessons, you can have tailor-made lessons that meet your needs, goals, and learning pace. Whether you want to master grammar, improve conversation skills, or prepare for exams like the JLPT or GCSE Japanese, I design lessons that are both effective and enjoyable. I normally use the “Genki” and “Marugoto” textbooks for beginners, and “Tobira” for intermediate, with a lot of talking and listening in the lessons, using my own teaching slides on TV/online. I believe that learning a language is more than just studying words — it’s about connecting with culture and communication. Through engaging activities - some traditional Japanese games, Origami, calligraphy, etc, cultural insights, and interactive lessons, I aim to help my students gain both fluency and confidence in using Japanese. Available for both online and in-person lessons, I’m passionate about supporting every learner on their unique Japanese language journey. Outside of teaching, I love skiing, tennis, and scuba diving, and I’m a big dog lover. These hobbies help me stay active, curious, and inspired in my everyday life. •Native Japanese language instruction (Beginner to Advanced) •Tailor-made lesson planning •JLPT & GCSE exam preparation •Grammar and conversational teaching •Online and in-person lessons

Trusted teacher: What are your goals? Let's work together hand in hand to achieve them! In my lessons... 📕🇯🇵 “Is textbook Japanese different from real Japanese?” Sometimes it is! The textbook phrase “つまらないものですが” (“It's nothing special, but...”) is now outdated. Instead, ‘気に入ってくれるとうれしいです’ (“I'd be happy if you like it”) sounds more natural and leaves a better impression ☺️ You'll enjoy learning this kind of “real Japanese.” 🇯🇵🗾 How do you say “How are you?” in Japanese? What should you say for casual greetings? I'll gently explain cultural backgrounds and how to read emotions, making Japanese communication more enjoyable and understandable. 3 Create natural sentences with fun topics! “Conjunctions are tough...” “Is this phrasing correct?” When you feel that way, let's create sentences using fun themes! “My Favorite Things” or “My Dreams” With unique practice like this, you'll naturally pick up Japanese expressions. 4 Your Personal Feedback Notebook During lessons, I'll correct the words you speak into natural, correct Japanese and write them in your notebook. Hiragana included if needed. Reading them aloud after lessons ensures you truly master usable Japanese. I specialize in lessons that are “gentle, polite, fun, and bright.” Students often tell me, “I feel more confident!” and “I enjoy speaking now!” Let's level up your Japanese together using a learning style that suits you!

Trusted teacher: My lessons are always INTERACTIVE and SPEAKING-based classes. Lessons include more than just talking, there are many other activities. Even games! You can start learning from the A0 level, and you'll LEARN FAST. Classes with me are always cheerful and relaxed, and you can speak Japanese without fear of making mistakes. Lessons with students at A2/B1 levels will be used actual data&media related to Japan, and have discussions also. A0-B1 level structured classes "Japanese for beginners" are very popular with students! COURSES: 1. Japanese for beginners This course is for learners who have no knowledge of Japanese or just started to learn the Japanese language🍡 We learn&practice speaking, writing, listening, reading, and grammar. YOU’LL LEARN FAST⭐ Materials (Textbooks, PDF... e.t.c. + My original designed materials) and homework are included in this price. I use these textbooks: Marugoto(A1, A2, A2/B1), my original textbooks + sometimes also Irodori, Nihongo Fun&Easy 2. Conversation practice a) Conversation practice with materials (A2-) Conversation with me in Japanese, we talk about anything you want. We practice conversation using PowerPoint or articles. (Various themes are available!) I will correct your mistakes and give you hints of vocabulary. This course is for learners who have some Japanese knowledge b) Informal tutoring (A2-) If you have any materials you would like to use during the lesson, feel free to send them to me prior to the lessons. In this lesson, I do not prepare materials.

Trusted teacher: I passed the Japanese teaching test and taught 1000 lessons and have 100 students over the world (including all platforms) so you can have a professional lesson at a reasonable price and we can focus on your personal goal from beginners to fluent speakers. My favorite topics to chat about are J-POP/Rock. I even used to hang out with super famous musicians .I can't tell who they are for their privacy, but we can talk about Japanese music, backstage and Japanese music industry. I also translate subtitles for movies. For beginners, I use teaching materials and focus on the Genki textbook. But I can customize the lesson without it. For JLPT I use a JLPT textbook. I published a book about how to get high scores on exams using only short-term study and it's a best seller on Amazon so I certainly know plenty of tips. Let's study efficiently together! For students who finished Genki-->We will start another textbook for intermediate degrees Also, I'm studying Java programming, so I am teaching programming Japanese terms to students. so my lesson helps you to work with Japanese programmers! Me as a Teacher I know many Japanese learners have headaches for particles like the difference between 'が' and 'は', 'に'and 'で', 自動詞(はいる)and 他動詞(いれる). As a professional teacher, I am willing to explain and practice with you. The style chart of my lesson is like below. My Lessons & Teaching Style Complete beginner: --->Yes-->Start with the easiest letter.We can order foods in the end of the lesson. (talk about a textbook for next lessons) ---->Yes, but personal purpose&goal--->Let's target to it! Not a complete beginner: -->Students who finished Genki-->We will start another textbook for intermediate degrees -->For travel to JP-->Role play for a variety of travel situations -->JLPT -->N1/N2/N3 -->Practicing the exam & discussion based on each level -->JLPT -->N4/N5 -->Practicing the exam & conversation based on each level -->Can do daily conversations-->Choose a topic from a list and conversation -->Still learning daily conversations-->Genki textbook and actual conversation based on it(I recommend the textbook but tell me if it's difficult. I can customize the lesson. *I basically teach online but I also teach once a week at library in Rotterdam. Please contact me about the availability.

Ai is a wonderful teacher. She's great at explaining all sorts of grammatical concepts and she's sweet with a good sense of humour to boot. I definitely recommend everyone who's interested in learning how to speak, write or read Japanese to consider taking lessons from her. If you're motivated and do the assigned homework, you'll make a lot of progress in a very small period of time. It's only been two weeks, but I already feel like my Japanese has improved considerably!

Great teacher! Very prepared for each lesson and flexible in helping out with specific language problems. He quickly picks up on your level and then adapts his speaking and teaching to match it, while pushing for greater skills all the while in a fun way and with self designed tests and questions. Very eager to really help you along in speaking and understanding Japanese. 10/10 would recommend!

I'm not particularly gifted at grasping new languages, but with Maeva's unique way of teaching I've felt both encouraged and motivated to keep learning. She's very patient and goes the extra mile to make sure everything is understood well. She's undeniably a brilliant teacher. Look no further.
