Let's study Japanese (Japanese) efficiently with Amazon best seller author & a friend of super famous J-POP musicians!
course price icon
From 33.22 $ /h
arrow icon
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.
Extra information
I also offer intensive courses.

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 ^)

Moving to Japan? Dating a Japanese Partner? Let’s Make You Fluent Naturally🇯🇵

Ex-Editor from Tokyo, Now Teaching in London

Hello, I’m Minami.

If you want to speak natural Japanese, not textbook Japanese, I’m here to help you.

I’m originally from Tokyo and currently living in London.
I worked as an editor at a major publishing company in Japan before moving to the UK for graduate study.

Because I’ve studied English and French for many years (and lived abroad), I truly understand the joy, frustration, and breakthrough moments of learning a new language.

🌿 Who I work best with:
• People planning to move to Japan
• Those with a Japanese partner
• Professionals who need business Japanese
• Learners who want to understand Japanese culture deeply

In our lessons, you will:

✓ Speak more confidently from Day 1
✓ Learn expressions real Japanese people actually use
✓ Understand cultural nuance (not just grammar)
✓ Build a personalised study system that fits your life

I have taught Japanese to over 20 learners through language exchange programs and now teach online students worldwide.

In our first lesson, we will clarify your goals and create a clear action plan. You’ll leave with practical phrases you can use immediately.

Learning Japanese should feel motivating, not overwhelming.
Let’s build your confidence step by step.

I look forward to meeting you.

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.

Hello!
My name is Sayuri and I’m from Japan. I’m a native Japanese speaker.

I enjoy teaching Japanese to beginners in a gentle and relaxed way.
Let’s have fun learning hiragana, katakana, simple kanji, and everyday conversation together.

Even if it’s your first time learning Japanese, that’s completely okay.
I adjust my lessons to each student’s pace and make sure everything is clear and easy to understand.

I can also be a conversation partner, so you can practice speaking Japanese in a relaxed and comfortable way.

In my lessons, I use visual materials like pictures and a whiteboard to make learning more fun and easier to understand.

I love cooking and animals, and I have a Shiba Inu at home.
I also enjoy talking about Japanese food and culture.

Let’s enjoy studying Japanese together in a friendly and relaxed atmosphere!
I’m looking forward to meeting you 😊
