First of all, I truly appreciate and respect your decision to learn Japanese—one of the most challenging languages to master.

    Learn Korean with a Native Tutor | Grammar, Speaking, Writing, and Polite Korean
    ✅ Want to speak polite and natural Korean like a native? People often get so caught up in the methodology of learning Korean language, but it's not about what method you use. It's about how much input you get and how often you practice it. Many Korean textbooks for foreign learners include expressions that sound unnatural or even rude in real conversations. I'll help you avoid these and speak clearly and respectfully, just like real Koreans do. ✅ Who is this tutor? I’m a native Korean tutor with 4+ years of experience. I have lived and worked in Korea all my life. I value language, nature, simplicity and honesty. Helping others is one of the most rewarding parts of my life — that’s why I’m here. ✅ What you'll get: - Vocabulary, grammar, and sentence building - Native expressions and natural tone - Personalized feedback and lesson notes - Flexible Zoom lessons - Cultural context and local insight ✅ Lessons are online via Zoom. - I'm in Korea. (KST time zone) - Please be on time so we can use the full 60 minutes efficiently. - Important: Please contact me before booking to schedule your session time. Let's build your Korean step by step. As your tutor, I'll guide you with care so you can speak and write confidently and naturally. Thanks, Yeon

    Private Japanese Lesson by Certified Native Japanese Tutor
    Konnichiwa (Hello), I am Japanese native from Osaka and currently living in Geneva, Switzerland. I teach at Japanese School in Geneva and also offer private Japanese lessons from a complete beginner including children to an advanced learner. After understanding each learner's level, interest and goal, I will offer a main textbook and overview of the course plan. I will be using balanced approach that will improve listening, speaking, reading, and writing through proven textbooks, exercises and weigh on the practical conversations. For JLPT preparation, I will offer lessons with the text suitable for the target level across required skills. I can teach in Japanese or English fluently and in French to a limited extent. I offer my lessons online, face to face at my place or near my place. All my students are repeated students who enjoy engaging and interactive atmosphere. I hope to see you soon in my lesson!

    🇯🇵Native Japanese graduate teacher gives online lessons🇯🇵Beginner~Intermediate🌸
    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 :)
