Japanese for beginners and intermediate level, JLPT level N5 to N3 (from A1 to B2)

Translated by GoogleSee original

From 17 € /h

Asian culture has interested me since childhood, which is why I decided to make this my field of study. I completed my bachelor's degree in Japanology and look forward to sharing my knowledge with others. I also have some experience in teaching, thanks to previous student jobs. I currently also teach on various online platforms, my students are very satisfied with these lessons.

For my lessons I mainly base myself on the books of Genki 1 and 2, and video material for some variety. In my opinion, learning grammar and speaking skills is the most important, but if there is an interest in, for example, listening skills, reading skills, writing skills, etc., this can certainly also be practiced.

Korean for beginners in a fun yet informative way

16 € /h

For my lessons I mainly base myself on the Integrated Korean beginning 1&2 books and video material to vary it up a bit. In my opinion, learning grammar and speaking skills is the most important, but if there is interest in, for example, listening skills, reading skills, writing skills, ... this can certainly be practiced.

I took Korean classes at university and obtained a Postgraduate certificate in Korean Studies. So I am familiar with the difficulties of this "language learning journey", and thanks to this experience I know how to guide my students through them.

Hello, my name in Lies (Liz) and I’m from Belgium. Languages have interested me since I was little, that's why I want to make a job out of my interests. Sharing with others what you have learned and not let your knowledge go to waste, is one of the most fulfilling things there is.

I earned a Bachelor’s degree in Japanology and a minor in Korean Studies. At first Japanese and Dutch don't seem to have much in common, but by learning a language yourself you come to understand the learning process and the needs of the students. I mainly like to teach those who don't have any prior knowledge of Dutch and primary school students.

I currently work as a translator and a tutor on different platforms. During my student years, I also did various jobs that included teaching certain subjects to people/children. You can see that I have enough teaching experience.

The materials I use for my lessons are supported by the government. The language I use for teaching is usually English or Dutch. I like to focus on the native language my students speak and try to find similar sounds, words or grammar between the original and target language. From my experience, I noticed that it really helps my students to grasp the meaning of certain sentences or grammatical structures and their pronunciation improved really fast. In my opinion, the practical part is more important than the theoretical part, so I use a lot of exercises in my lessons. You only learn a language by using it.

Of course, if you have certain things you want to work on, or you already have some knowledge of Dutch, we can especially focus on those things. I’m very adaptable. But the most important thing is to love your language learning journey. The more fun you have doing something, the more you'll feel encouraged to get even better.

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.

🍡 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! 🌸
