Strategy Meeting - Check your "actual" Japanese level

Would you like to know what level your Japanese actually is? Would you like to know which part of your Japanese is in need of extra work? I will stay brutally honest to support you for upgrading Japanese efficiently. Like "no pain, no gain", weak points could be the sweet spot because it has the space to grow once you know what to do and how to work on.
My schedule could be flexible so please feel free to contact me!

About Me

Hello, my name is Hoshi. I am a Japanese tutor who loves languages from childhood, it gives me a great joy to listen to what people are passionate about and their life stories as well. I enjoy anime, movies, music, books and cooking. By the way my favorite animal is cats.

Education

Far Eastern Federal University in Vladivostok. State University of New York at Potsdam. What I dedicate for whole my university years is how to teach, translate and proofread.

Experience / Qualifications

Over 14 years of teaching experience for students of any age (7 – 60 years). I have been teaching Japanese from beginner to advanced level.

Private students, university students, a consul and his family. I found that many people who made a great improvement in Japanese have three commons. One is a hobby they are into. Second is a desire of communication of how they would like to talk if they were fluent in Japanese. Third is a notice that heart matters.

I have helped students to prepare for Monbukagakusyo scholarship and JLPT exams by my experience as an examiner. Proofreading is one of what I dedicate my heart very much, respect what you wrote and do heart-to-heart proofreading to make your essay/document perfect in the way you wish.

She is a very kind, helpful, and honest teacher.
Hoshi-San was very kind, polite, and understanding. She is a spectacular woman. I really enjoyed my time with her.
Hoshi is amazing. She is very friendly, reliable, and enthusiastic. My kids really enjoy her and I feel grateful to have found her!
This online conversation class is for those who would like to try often and talk more. You are the main person in my class, so please let me know what you would like to talk about, your hobbies that make you stay up, your future job hunting in Japan, everyday life, etc. I am all ears! Shall we 挑戦?
Welcome to my class! Please tell me what you aim with your Japanese study, for education, for JLPT, for traveling. Also tell me how you have studied Japanese. I carefully think which method and materials would work best for you. My class is customized for you and I am not the type of tutor who uses same materials for anyone. Before class time I devote preparing class for you and after class I will dedicate extra time for review to make your next class to be better. I know how to study Japanese and guide you to what you aim for (please take a look at my profile). I expect you to work hard, really hard, not only during class but before and after as well. I might ask you do homework to strengthen what needs extra practice. If you have a question that you noticed after class, contact me. Once you decide to take my classes, please trust me, study very hard for what you dream to get and make great effort for yourself. I have got your back!
Touch up your resume for future study/job hunting in Japan and practice for the interview. Practice everyday-Japanese. Sharpen up your Business Japanese. Prepare for JLPT exams (N5-N1). After listening how and what would you like to study/practice, I would like us to discuss to suggest you custom-made study plans. At the end of each class, I would love to tell what you now can say/express correct grammatically and also what to work on more or the next. I might ask you to do homework, if you do not mind. It is all up to you!

Hong Thi
Highly Experienced Native Vietnamese Tutor with a Proven Track Record
Speak Vietnamese Fluently in Just 2 Months! I am passionate about helping learners not only master Vietnamese but also gain a deeper understanding of Vietnamese culture. I will guide you to pronounce naturally like a native speaker and communicate confidently in any situation. ‍The biggest challenge for Vietnamese learners is pronunciation and addressing people correctly. With six tones and a complex system of pronouns that change based on formality, age, gender, and family relationships, it can feel overwhelming. But don’t worry! I’ll guide you through it and help you gain confidence from the very first lesson! Whether you're a student, a professional, living with Vietnamese people, or have Vietnamese friends or colleagues, I’m here to support you. I always tailor my teaching approach to keep you motivated, engaged, and increasingly confident in using Vietnamese. With just 2 months of learning with me, you'll be able to communicate confidently!

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.

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! 🌸

Yeon
Speak Natural and Polite Korean with a Native Tutor
✅ Want to speak polite and natural Korean like a native? People often get so caught up in the methodology of learning Korean language, but it's not about what method you use. It's about how much input you get and how often you practice it. Many Korean textbooks for foreign learners include expressions that sound unnatural or even rude in real conversations. I'll help you avoid these and speak clearly and respectfully, just like real Koreans do. ✅ Who is this tutor and what is this session? I'm Yeon, a native Korean tutor with 4 years of experience and an intermediate level of English. In this session, you'll practice Korean through real, structured conversation. The tone is relaxed but focused, with clear guidance and mutual respect. I'll gently correct your sentences and pronunciation as you speak, helping you sound more natural and confident. You'll pick up everyday language that's actually used in real conversations. Advanced learners can also work on tone, nuance, and fluency. This session is for respectful, sincere learners at any level. ✅ What you'll get: - Real-time speaking practice with live corrections - Natural and polite Korean expressions - Gentle correction during conversation - Simple review notes after each session - Cultural context from a native speaker - Zoom sessions from anywhere ✅ Lessons are online via Zoom. - I'm in Korea. (KST time zone) - Please be on time so we can use the full 60 minutes efficiently. - Please contact me before booking to schedule your session time. Let's build your Korean step by step. As your tutor, I'll guide you with care! Thank you, Yeon

Pablo
Student in Japan for 3 years, offers online courses!
I have been a French student in Japan for 2 years now at APU University (OITA Prefecture)!! I also hold the N2, Japanese certification. I offer introductory and advanced Japanese language training, which is essential for traveling and communicating with Japanese people. Upon request, I can also assist with academic Japanese language training, which can be used for university studies in Japan. I prefer speaking and could, upon request, give you the opportunity to chat with some of my Japanese friends to familiarize you with the different accents and the Japanese language. I also have Japanese language textbooks provided by the university that I will refer to if needed. Being a big fan of manga and anime myself, I plan to use them to further the course!! Typical procedure: - discussion about everyday life - introduction of new words and KANJI/KANA - written and oral practice - introduction to a new grammar and putting it into practice - discussion and analysis of manga/anime or other media This course is aimed at beginner, intermediate and advanced levels. よろしくお願いします!!
