Trusted teacher: 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!

Trusted teacher: Turkish learning like never experienced before! No details left unexplained! Grammar in its complete sense! Merhaba! This is a certified mother-tongue teacher of the Turkish language and culture from Bursa. I have been working with numerous language schools in Turkey, in Europe, and in global platforms since 2011. I completed a program for teaching Turkish as a foreign language at Marmara University in Istanbul. I am also the Turkish language delegate for Directors Languages based in the UK, and a member of the Turkish team for Innovative Language Learning headquartered in Japan. I have built an exclusive method for Turkish teaching, being a self-language-learner myself. The lessons are adjustable for any kind of journalistic, touristic, romantic, gastronomic, linguistic, scientific, artistic, religious, historical, cultural, or commercial purposes; any level from hello to Ottoman poetry; background of any other language, way of learning, means of learning in person or via the Internet, and age. My spectrum of students expands from children to CEOs. I prefer proceeding with a constructive and conversational methodology for proper comprehension and confident learning of the Turkish language in the smoothest structure possible. That way, learners will have the freedom to make their own sentences once they are comfortable with the fundamental grammar and logic of the language, as well as the relevant vocabulary. I also enjoy making comparisons between world languages, clarifying to learners the origins of words, similarities in grammar, and contrasts in concepts. I spend great attention to the needs, motivation, and interests of learners so that I can pave the best order of topics, and choose the necessary glossary in a sufficient amount. I guide them to clear their previous confusion about Turkish with simple and logical explanations. I also help them to realize that they are making stable progress and that the things they learn are essential and part of the everyday, living language. I accumulated quite a rich resource of materials both written and audio-visual, including the prominent textbooks in the market, and a collection of various hardcopy and online varieties. Role-play dramatizations of real-life situations comprise an important part of classes. After each lesson, I provide learners with various supportive documents and exercises, as well as audio and visual practices if possible. When necessary, I can produce new material according to the exact needs and interests of my students. I also recommend them external sources to familiarize themselves with the language in their free time like popular songs and TV shows according to their personal tendencies. Overall, I am trying my best for their experience of learning Turkish to be efficient and fun, including related cultural explanations. Instructions can be in English, Italian, and Japanese. If you are interested, contact me kindly. I hope that we can discover this beautiful language and culture together!

Japanese Private Lesson with Native Teacher (in Paris or Online) (Paris)
Rika
rating star
rating green star
Classes with Rika are great, I've been learning with her for several months now and I'm 100% satisfied. We've had both physical and online classes, I was worried online would be difficult to learn from as it's been my experience in the past but I was very pleasantly surprised and since then we stick to online! After every class, Rika sends me slides of the new grammar we learnt including some sentences for me to translates as homework using the new and previous vocabulary/grammar. During physical classes, I wouldn't receive these recaps (which is a shame) but Rika would make me write down some of our dialogues so I would also practice writing. The way classes work is purely oral practice. Rika will ask me questions in order to create dialogue that I have to express in Japanese and the learning builds up from it. She is soooo patient when I take ages to express my sentence because I'm searching for my words or structure. Very kind and friendly too, you won't feel pressured nor judged to be proficient. Communication outside of class is clear and fast, she is very attentive and flexible. I'm a French speaker but we hold the class in English/Japanese as it's best for us both so I can't attest how it goes in French or Chinese/Japanese but I'm sure it works well too! Highly recommend!

Japanese language classes taught in a fun and professional way. (Leuven)
Anne

rating green star
Anne is a teacher that prepares her lessons in advance. You get a lot of attention as a student and I really felt welcomed from the first minute. Anne is very clear in her communication and organisation (and this also encompasses how she guides you towards the first lesson, making sure all is clear). It is clear that she has a profound knowledge of the Japanese language as well as the didactical methods to teach it. What I appreciated was her openness and the fact that you can shape the lessons to make them fit with your personal goals you have for studying Japanese, whatever they might be. I definitely recommend working with Anne!

Going back to learning Japanese with Ayumi was the right choice. She caters to my wants and needs as a student, is dedicated in bringing new information and making sure I am learning correctly. She is a very enjoyable company and always has interesting topics to talk about, helping myself to improve really fast.
