Aigerim - Tokyo$16

$16Russian language for learners of every level and age.

Trusted teacher: Russian is one of the most spoken languages in the world. It is an official language of Russian, Belarus, Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. It is spoken in all other post-soviet countries, and also in Israel, the Balkans and the U.S. As Russia has been in the process of positioning itself as a major economic force, including the Russian language in CV would definitely give a good impression to employers. Many companies today are looking for qualified international workers who master Russian. Apart from that, being able to speak the Russian language will allow you to understand Russians and their culture, something which could never happen through cultural exchanges. You would develop a new view of Russian literature, music, and art. Why choose me as a tutor? - I am a native Russian speaker with experience in teaching the Russian language to non-Russians. - I have been teaching Russian for years to beginners and advanced learners. My English and Japanese are fluent, so in our lessons, I will explain everything to you in a very understandable and easy way. - I have been giving private lessons and teaching in classrooms. I have worked with children and adults. - I ensure that you would enjoy my classes because I always try to make the learning process fun and relaxed. Our lessons will always be well organized and well structured. -All the lessons are tailored exactly to your individual needs to help you succeed. - I will help you to achieve the necessary level of communication in the shortest possible time since I also have been learning foreign languages and know the secret for learning them quickly. You will finally begin to speak fluently in Russian. Even if you have not learned the language before, by the end of the course you will be able to speak Russian, learn all the grammar basics, understand native Russian speakers, read and write in Russian. I look forward to meeting you!

Erika - Tokyo$20

$20Japanese Course Japanese Course from the beginners to intermediate, business / children to adults

Trusted teacher: 🇬🇧Hello! I'm Erika from Tokyo. I previously worked in a trading company and in a music agency in Japan. I studied Russian at university (C1 level) and French in Paris (B2 level), so I truly understand how challenging it is to start a new language and continue until you reach an intermediate or even advanced level. I enjoy playing musical instruments, dancing, and doing crafts. As a naturally curious person, I don't want you to give up learning something new just because you feel you may not have enough time for self-study. With me, you can simply keep going at a steady pace — I will remind you of essential points, help you build habits, and guide you in every lesson, so you can make progress without stress or worrying about time management. I can work remotely and can offer lessons early in the morning Japan time, so I am available for students in Europe or America as well. Please feel free to contact me with your preferred schedule. I look forward to supporting your Japanese learning journey! —- 🇫🇷Hello! My name is Erika and I'm from Tokyo. I worked in a trading company as well as in a music agency in Japan.

Halu - Tokyo$31

$31Private Japanese lesson Tokyo(On line, Shinjuku, Shibuya, Machida)

Trusted teacher: Hi, My name is Haru and I have been teaching Japanese for 15 years now. I am currently teaching 7 students, all foreign nationals living here in Japan. Their Japanese language ability levels range from basic conversational ability all the way up to JLPT level 1. My lesson style is ‘fun but strict’! If you really want to improve your level of Japanese, please try my class! <Daily Conversation・Business Talk > Some people can read and understand Japanese, even very well, but their speaking ability is relatively low. This is often due to a lack of regular speaking opportunities! During a 1 on 1 lesson, you can be in a distraction-free environment and do not have to be nervous about making mistakes - I can give you immediate feedback and corrections! <Basic Program> From beginner up to JLPT N1 level, class activities are based on your specific needs. For beginners, we will usually begin by building the foundation of basic grammar. For upper-level students, we will begin by practicing ‘skills for description’ and ‘skills for the expression’. <JLPT> Every Japanese student has heard of ‘JLPT’ (Japanese Language Proficiency Tests) which are held in July and December from levels 5 up to 1. Some companies have specific requirements for these qualifications. I can teach you according to your desired level. <Custom Program> Do you want to try Japanese Cooking? You can learn practical Japanese whilst cooking traditional foods!
