Online Japanese lessons for intermediate and advanced learners

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 13 € /h

I studied Japanese for several years at an adult school, but there are no classes above intermediate level..."
I majored in Japanese at university in the past, but now I don't have a chance to use it...
I want to study in Japan in the future, so I want to get JLPT N3. But where should I study Japanese?

Do you have such problems?
planning to help those who have such concerns by offering classes for intermediate and advanced learners of Japanese from the 2022-23 school year.

I am a Japanese living in Belgium and have been teaching Japanese for 15 years. I have taught hundreds of students from 7 to 80 years old at universities, adult schools, and private lessons. Whether it is "Japanese for hobbies" or "Japanese to learn for a certificate," I have always taught under the motto of "learning with pleasure and experience." I don’t like anything that stresses my students out, and I always value the atmosphere in the classroom.

In September 2021, I established an online Japanese language class with my former students who lost their study opportunities because their courses were discontinued due to too few students. An experienced native speaker will provide small-group in the low price online lessons in your spare time.
Online lessons have made this possible:
-Since no classroom is required, we were able to achieve a low price. One lesson lasts two hours
-Although one class is a small group of 4 to 6 students, you can practice conversation with various partners in pairs by using the breakout session of Google Meet.
-The class can be recorded and used in case of absence or for review. In addition, all handouts and whiteboard writings are shared digitally and can be used for home study.
-Things not covered in the class can be distributed separately as explanatory videos using YouTube. You can use them to learn at any time you like.
-You can learn Japanese together with people who live far away from you.

What do you think? It is possible to learn in an environment that is completely different from the traditional school environment. Please contact me for more information.
Of course, I can also offer an individual lesson or a lesson for JLPT preparation though. Please feel free to contact me.

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 ^)

英語を学ぶことは、単語を覚えることではなく、自分を表現する力を育てることです。
In my classes, you’ll learn how to speak English naturally and confidently, step by step.

We’ll focus on:
• 💬 Real conversation practice for daily and business situations
• 🎧 Listening and pronunciation for clear, natural communication
• 📝 Grammar and vocabulary explained simply and visually
• 🌍 Cultural understanding to speak English with confidence abroad

I’m a multilingual teacher who lives in Japan and understands the challenges Japanese learners face — especially with pronunciation, sentence flow, and confidence. My goal is to help you feel relaxed, understood, and motivated while learning English you can actually use.

Let’s build your English fluency together — one natural conversation at a time.

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?

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!

Easy peasy Japanesey! こんにちは(Konnichiwa)!!! A native Japanese tutor is here. Let me support your linguistic 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!

My name is Ron, a dedicated Dutch tutor based in Suriname. Originally trained as an HVAC engineer with the intention of continuing my father’s legacy, I transitioned into teaching during the pandemic after discovering my passion for language education. This shift allowed me to embrace remote work while connecting with learners globally. With a friendly and adaptable approach, I prioritize creating engaging, personalized lessons that foster confidence in conversational Dutch. Outside of teaching, I take pride in my family life as a happily married professional who finds fulfillment in helping others achieve their language goals.

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.

Feeling nervous about studying Japanese on your own?
I’m an experienced tutor, and I’ll guide you until you can speak Japanese comfortably!

🌸About Me 🌸
Hi, I’m Minami, a native Japanese tutor from Japan.
I’ve taught 1500+ Japanese lessons to learners from many backgrounds.

I believe speaking comes from feeling safe, not being perfect.
In my lessons, mistakes are always welcome—I never stop you or judge you.
I want you to feel comfortable saying, “I’m not sure, but I’ll try.”

Each lesson starts with light conversation about your daily life,
so you learn Japanese you can actually use.
My goal is simple:
you speak more, relax more, and leave thinking,
“Hey... I can speak Japanese!”

👩‍🏫 What I Teach 👩‍🏫
Beginners Welcome 🔰
If you’re thinking:
- “I don’t know where to start...”
- “I’m not confident with hiragana...”
No worries. We’ll start slowly, together !

Lessons focus on getting used to speaking, not memorizing.
- Hiragana & katakana (in a practical way)
- Basic pronunciation and rhythm
- Greetings, self-introductions
- Simple daily conversations and grammar

Your goal will change from
“I’m scared to speak” → “Oh, I can do this!” → “This is fun!”

🎓My Strengths 🎓
✔ A safe, supportive atmosphere
✔ Plenty of speaking time—you’re really heard
✔ Personalized lessons (materials provided, no textbook needed)
✔ Japanese becomes a fun habit, not stressful study
