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!

I'm currently studying JLPT N4 myself, which gives me a good understanding of the challenges beginning students face and how grammar and vocabulary can best be built up step by step.

This is an online Japanese interview preparation class for students who want to prepare for job interviews, university interviews, or other formal situations.

In this lesson, you will practice answering common interview questions in Japanese, such as self-introduction, strengths and weaknesses, motivation, and future goals.

I will help you improve your answers, correct mistakes, and teach you natural and polite Japanese expressions commonly used in interviews. You will also learn how to speak more clearly and confidently.

I can also correct and improve your written Japanese, such as self-introduction essays, application forms, entry sheets, and motivation letters. I will provide detailed feedback and suggest more natural expressions.
*If you only need writing correction, please choose a shorter lesson, such as 30 or 45 minutes.

Mock interviews, writing corrections, and detailed feedback are available to help you succeed in real interview situations.

This class is suitable for students who want to study or work in Japan.

Hi there! I’m Daichi, a 28-year-old native speaker from Japan.
As a language learner myself—currently improving my English and Spanish—I know exactly how challenging (and rewarding!) it can be to pick up a new tongue. While I am new to formal teaching, I bring a fresh, modern perspective to learning Japanese. I won't just be your "teacher"; I'll be your language partner and coach, helping you navigate the hurdles I've faced myself.
If you’ve ever felt intimidated by textbooks or felt stuck with grammar, I’m here to make things simple, fun, and relevant to your real life.

Hi, I’m Sota, founder of Frensei.

In this class, I teach Japanese using a structured and practical learning approach called the Frensei Method.

This class is suitable for:

• Complete beginners
• JLPT learners (N5–N2)
• Students who want to improve conversation skills
• Business professionals
• Learners who want clear and structured explanations

In my lessons, we focus on:

– Step-by-step grammar understanding

Many learners struggle because they memorize without knowing how to use Japanese in real situations.

In this class, you will learn how to understand, practice, and use Japanese naturally.

My goal is to help you build strong communication skills and become confident in speaking.

Let’s improve your Japanese step by step.
