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.

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!

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 :)

Mes cours tournent en grande partie autour d'un manuel qui est à se procurer extérieurement mais ma priorité est de m'adapter aux envies de l'élève.
Cela se déroule généralement les dimanches mais les horaires peuvent varier en fonction des disponibilités de l'élève et des miennes.
J'offre également la possibilité d'assister au cours par deux, dans le cas où des ami(e)s souhaiteraient y participer ensemble.

A passionate teacher of Japanese (my native language), I offer personalized, interactive courses adapted to all levels.

🍡 Build your grammar foundations
My comprehensive courses are based on books such as Minna no Nihongo or Irodori, as well as my own materials (slideshows, personalized documents). We approach vocabulary, grammar, conversation and listening in a progressive and interactive way.
Are you a beginner? No worries, we will work from the basics using French or English to help you. If you already have some knowledge, we will choose together the grammar points on which you will focus to progress effectively :)

🍡 Advanced Reading and Listening
For learners who already have a solid foundation, these courses help strengthen your reading and listening skills. If you have texts or content that you would like to explore, we will use them in class. Otherwise, I will provide you with resources adapted to your level and interests!

🍡 JLPT exam preparation
Prepare effectively for the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), a recognized exam that validates your level of Japanese. Whether it's to boost your chances for studies, a job or simply to challenge yourself, my courses will guide you with targeted exercises and strategies adapted to your level.

In the first lesson, we will discuss in Japanese/French/English to assess your level of Japanese, your expectations for the Japanese course, as well as the books we will use.

Each one-hour lesson takes place online or at my home in Prilly.
Organize your classes at your own pace: once a week, every two weeks, or even in intensive sessions lasting several hours!

I look forward to supporting you in your learning of Japanese, and sharing my culture with you! 🌸

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!

Titulaire de Master 2 en japonais et enseignante particulière depuis 10 ans + expérience en collège-lycée (désormais traductrice), je propose des cours de japonais de deux types :

- Des cours « classiques »

- Des cours basés sur une nouvelle méthode d’apprentissage, fondée sur les sources authentiques. Autrement dit, apprendre le japonais en traduisant du jeu vidéo, du manga, des nouvelles, des vidéos Youtube etc... Cela dépendra de vos goûts et de vos objectifs.

Par ailleurs, ces cours sont excellents pour ceux qui apprennent déjà le japonais et veulent renforcer leur niveau ou élargir leur apprentissage (maîtrise d’un japonais oral naturel par exemple)

Dans tous les cas, nous construirons des cours qui s’adapteront à vos objectifs ainsi qu’à votre manière d’apprendre. Vous êtes toujours libres de m’exposer vos envies et de me demander des modifications quant au déroulement du cours. Je suis là pour m’adapter à vous et que vous appreniez dans les meilleures dispositions.

Je propose ces cours en visio pour profiter des outils que nous offre l’informatique, très pratiques en japonais.

J’accueille tous les âges à partir de de 12 ans. J’estime qu’il faut des techniques d’apprentissage spécialisées pour apprendre une nouvelle langue à un enfant.

N'hésitez pas à me contacter pour discuter de tout cela !
