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 ^)

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!

This class is for students who can already speak basic Japanese and want to improve their conversation skills.

In this lesson, we will have natural conversations in Japanese about books, news, daily life, culture, or any topics that interest you. The goal is to help you speak more fluently and confidently in real situations.

I will support you by correcting mistakes, teaching natural expressions, and helping you expand your vocabulary. The lesson can be relaxed and friendly, and we can adjust the difficulty depending on your level and goals.

This class is perfect for students who want to practice speaking Japanese in a comfortable environment.

I am a native Mandarin Chinese speaker, born in Gansu Province, China, and I completed my secondary education in Sichuan. Growing up in different regions of China gave me a rich cultural background and a broad understanding of everyday Chinese life and language.

Later, I moved to Belgium to study at university in Dutch, and today I work as a mechanical engineer. I am also a father of two children. Living abroad and learning new languages myself has helped me understand how challenging — but also how fun — language learning can be.

I prefer to teach Chinese in a relaxed and enjoyable way. My lessons feel more like natural conversations than formal classes. We can talk about daily life, culture, travel, food, family, or any topic that interests you. I believe that language grows best in a comfortable and friendly environment.

Whether you are a complete beginner or already have some foundation, we can move at your own pace without pressure.

You are welcome if you:

Simply want to speak Chinese more confidently

Are curious about Chinese culture

Plan to travel to China

Want conversational practice

Or just enjoy learning languages in a relaxed atmosphere

Learning Chinese doesn’t have to be stressful — it can be interesting, warm, and fun.

I look forward to meeting you and having meaningful conversations together!
