Express Yourself in Cantonese /Japanese - Learn Naturally 🌳

From 24.9 € /h

你好、我叫海晴。こんにちは!
我係香港長大嘅混血兒. I was born and raised in Hong Kong 🇭🇰 , half Japanese 🇯🇵. I am totally fluent in Cantonese and Japanese.
I have been living in Japan for the past 8 years.
As a native Japanese speaker who hasn't lived in Japan my entire life, I understand how challenging it can be to learn natural Japanese--or any language --on your own. I’ve spent years struggling with it myself, so I understand. That’s why I’m here—to help you experience Japanese/Cantonese the way it’s really spoken.

With me, you’ll learn things you could never get from a textbook or without having a native speaker around you.
I have 7 years of teaching experience in Cantonese and Japanese. I truly enjoy explaining and sharing knowledge in detail, helping learners absorb and understand step by step. I believe that improving little by little each time is more than enough to make great progress.

In our lessons, we will focus on:

Casual conversation (to improve speaking and listening)
Natural pronunciation
Expressing feelings and thoughts naturally
Learning vocabulary in a way that feels easy and not overwhelming
Staying focused while keeping lessons enjoyable and engaging!
Reading and writing skills (for learners who want to aim higher)

We are having our class on Google Meet. I will send you the code 30 minutes before the lesson start. Please keep in contact on apprentus.

You don’t need to bring any textbooks—I will provide all the materials for you. But if you prefer to use your own textbook, that’s completely fine too.

I will organize each lesson according to your needs. Please feel free to make any requests or ask questions anytime—I’ll be happy to help!

Extra information

My goal in teaching a language is not just about completing tasks—I hope it will also be an opportunity to spark your curiosity, inspiring new discoveries.
Growing up biracial has given me the chance to experience and understand complex emotions --the challenges of daily life. Because of that, I want our lessons to be more than just study time. I hope the time we spend together will be a place to feel happy, energetic, and relaxed.
I truly look forward to meeting you and sharing this learning journey with you!

Please do not record the lessons. I also hope to meet people who are honest and sincere.

英語が好き! その気持ちのままで学んでもらいたい。あなただけのための「英語」を習得してもらいます。

19.3 € /h

英語をどのように始めれば良いかわからないと、悩むことが多いと思います。私も英語圏の国(香港)と、日本のハーフで生きていきまして、香港で生まれ育ってきて、日本語が母語だとしても、日本語の言葉遣いを全て身に付けられないことをとても実感してきました。その言葉の国で暮らせないから、自分ひとりだけで、頑張って一つ一つの言葉を知っていくぐらいしかできなかったです。言葉は、語彙を覚えるだけではなく、文化や、考え方、物事の感じ方、信念、解決や決断の仕方、話し方、コミュニケーションの方向性、性格、教育や生活スタイル、好み、人間関係、価値観など、たくさんの要素が言語には含まれていて、言語や言葉というものは複雑なものです。今の時代ではAI機能で翻訳や悩み相談まで可能になっていますが、『語学を体に馴染ませて、気持ちのままに自由に扱い、同じ言葉を話す人とうまく繋がりたいという』悩みはいくら自ら理解を得ようとしても、簡単には納得を得られるものではないですし、身に付けられるものでもないと感じることも多いでしょう。私は、みなさんひとりひとりのその悩み方や目指している目標や夢を一歩でも早く進められるように助けたいです。あなただけに合った内容を、行います。皆さんひとりひとり特別な英語に対する好きな気持ちや好奇心、なりたい姿を応援したいです。この授業では、ただ言葉を聞いたり話したり練習して覚えてもらうという内容になるよりも、本当の意味で英語の特徴や英語を使う時の考え方や感じ方、会話の進め方や方向、価値観といった面から経験し、理解していくその過程の中で、徐々に英語話者に近づいてもらうことが私が目指したいことになります。そこで、自分なりの考えや、信念、気持ちを英語で自分らしく気持ちよく伝えることができるまでの一歩を進み始めてもらえたら嬉しいです。

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 ^)

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!

The goal of this class is to achieve JLPT N1. This is for those who already obtain N2 or who have the knowledge equivalent to N2.

After achieving N2, maybe you lost your goal and don't know what to do or what to aim at. Maybe, N1 is on of your option. Achieving N1 is for sure a tough and rough way to go, but that is why I'm here!

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.

•Native Japanese language instruction (Beginner to Advanced)

•JLPT & GCSE exam preparation

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
