I passed the Japanese teaching test and taught 1000 lessons and have 100 students over the world (including all platforms) so you can have a professional lesson at a reasonable price and we can focus on your personal goal from beginners to fluent speakers.
My favorite topics to chat about are J-POP/Rock. I even used to hang out with super famous musicians .I can't tell who they are for their privacy, but we can talk about Japanese music, backstage and Japanese music industry.

I also translate subtitles for movies.

For beginners, I use teaching materials and focus on the Genki textbook. But I can customize the lesson without it.
For JLPT I use a JLPT textbook. I published a book about how to get high scores on exams using only short-term study and it's a best seller on Amazon so I certainly know plenty of tips. Let's study efficiently together!

For students who finished Genki-->We will start another textbook for intermediate degrees

Also, I'm studying Java programming, so I am teaching programming Japanese terms to students.
so my lesson helps you to work with Japanese programmers!

Me as a Teacher
I know many Japanese learners have headaches for particles like the difference between 'が' and 'は', 'に'and 'で', 自動詞(はいる)and 他動詞(いれる). As a professional teacher, I am willing to explain and practice with you.

The style chart of my lesson is like below.
My Lessons & Teaching Style
Complete beginner:
--->Yes-->Start with the easiest letter.We can order foods in the end of the lesson. (talk about a textbook for next lessons)
---->Yes, but personal purpose&goal--->Let's target to it!

Not a complete beginner:
-->Students who finished Genki-->We will start another textbook for intermediate degrees
-->For travel to JP-->Role play for a variety of travel situations
-->JLPT -->N1/N2/N3 -->Practicing the exam & discussion based on each level
-->JLPT -->N4/N5 -->Practicing the exam & conversation based on each level
-->Can do daily conversations-->Choose a topic from a list and conversation
-->Still learning daily conversations-->Genki textbook and actual conversation based on it(I recommend the textbook but tell me if it's difficult. I can customize the lesson.

*I basically teach online but I also teach once a week at library in Rotterdam. Please contact me about the availability.

My name is Ron, a dedicated Dutch tutor based in Suriname. Originally trained as an HVAC engineer with the intention of continuing my father’s legacy, I transitioned into teaching during the pandemic after discovering my passion for language education. This shift allowed me to embrace remote work while connecting with learners globally. With a friendly and adaptable approach, I prioritize creating engaging, personalized lessons that foster confidence in conversational Dutch. Outside of teaching, I take pride in my family life as a happily married professional who finds fulfillment in helping others achieve their language goals.

Japanese is a beautiful language brimming with culture, but unfortunately, it's also difficult to get started. If you're lost for the trees (or the kanji), or haven't even dared to try it yet, but have suddenly been bitten by the Japanese bug, then you've come to the right place.

I'll teach you the basics of Japanese and grow completely at your level. You'll receive customized learning materials, and I can provide homework assignments if needed. Once you've mastered the basics, we can expand to cultural nuances and more advanced language skills. You can also "request topics." Is there something specific you'd like to learn? Are you preparing for a vacation, or do you simply want to improve your writing? Let me know!
