Japanese Lessons - Born in Tokyo, I have a Master's degree in Language Education and am certified in Japanese language teaching

A passionate teacher of Japanese (my native language), I offer personalized, interactive courses adapted to all levels.

🍡 Build your grammar foundations
My comprehensive courses are based on books such as Minna no Nihongo or Irodori, as well as my own materials (slideshows, personalized documents). We approach vocabulary, grammar, conversation and listening in a progressive and interactive way.
Are you a beginner? No worries, we will work from the basics using French or English to help you. 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. If you have texts or content that you would like to explore, we will use them in class. Otherwise, I will provide you with resources adapted to your level and interests!

🍡 JLPT exam preparation
Prepare effectively for the JLPT (Japanese Language Proficiency Test), a recognized exam that validates your level of Japanese. Whether it's to boost your chances for studies, a job or simply to challenge yourself, my courses will guide you with targeted exercises and strategies adapted to your level.

In the first lesson, we will discuss in Japanese/French/English to assess your level of Japanese, your expectations for the Japanese course, as well as the books we will use.

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! 🌸

About Me

はじめまして!☺️

Je m’appelle Chiaki, un prénom qui signifie mille lumières en japonais. Originaire de Tokyo, j’ai toujours été fascinée par les langues et les cultures étrangères. Cette passion m’a menée en Europe, où j’ai découvert un profond attachement lors de mes études en Allemagne. Aujourd’hui, je vis à Lausanne, en Suisse, où je partage avec enthousiasme la richesse de ma langue et de ma culture.

Titulaire d’un master en enseignement des langues, j’ai également complété une formation spécialisée pour l’enseignement du japonais comme langue étrangère. Je possède plusieurs certifications :
– Certificat de formation de professeur de japonais comme langue étrangère
– Certificat d'aptitudes pédagogiques pour l'enseignement du japonais (École obligatoire et gymnase)
– Certificat d’éducatrice pour le Baccalauréat International (IB).

Mon parcours inclut le développement d’une application éducative pour l’apprentissage des kanji, reconnue par le Fumiko Koide Academic Award. J’ai enseigné dans des contextes variés : écoles, universités et cours privés, aussi bien au Japon qu’en Allemagne et en Australie.

Quand je ne travaille pas, je voyage, prends des photos ou me perds dans un bon animé !

Je crois fermement qu’un bon enseignant est aussi un apprenant. Grâce à mes propres expériences avec des langues comme l’anglais, l’allemand, l’arabe, l’italien, le coréen et le français, j’ai appris à comprendre les défis, les doutes et les joies que l’on rencontre lorsqu’on se plonge dans une nouvelle langue.🌈

Prêt(e) à apprendre avec moi ? :)

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.
