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 :)

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 ^)

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! 🌸

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!

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
