Polyglot and TEFL-certified teacher with 6 years of teaching experience I teach English conversation to intermediate and advanced students, during which I make careful suggestions as to how students can improve the grammatical accuracy and idiomatic appropriateness of their spoken English. My strong understanding of Russian has enabled me to help many Russian-speakers in particular. I have heard every mistake Russians can make in English! I also have a special interest in phonetics and phonology. I have a postgraduate education in this subject, and particularly enjoy working on pronunciation. Students looking for detailed feedback on their pronunciation should feel free to contact me.

I believe that the easy point and difficult point in learning Japanese through teaching Japanese to many foreigners living in Japan. However, I’ll make you understand the complex part using the secret way that I got from my experiences. In learning languages, I think it’s essential to enjoy using them and like their culture. Therefore, I’ll give you a class proving both of them. Also, it’s important to make a mistake to speak new languages, don’t be afraid of it, and keep using Japanese! 多くの日本在住の外国人に日本語を教えてきて、日本語の簡単なところと難しい所を理解しているつもりです。しかしながら、今までの経験で得た独自の方法で難しい所を理解させるように努めます。私個人としては言語を学ぶにおいて大切なことはその言葉を使うことを楽しむこととその国の文化を好きになることだと思っているので、その二つを提供できるクラスを行います。また、言語を学ぶにおいて間違えることは大切なことなので、間違いを恐

Learn Real-Life Japanese with a Native Speaker | Culture, Conversation & Everyday Life Hello! I'm Nao, a native Japanese speaker from Japan, currently living in the UK. I believe learning a language is about more than just memorizing grammar and vocabulary—it's also about discovering the culture and way of thinking behind the language. That's why I aim to create relaxed, enjoyable conversation lessons where you can learn Japanese at your own pace. Before moving to the UK, I worked as a fashion designer in Tokyo, so I'd be happy to chat about fashion and design as well! I also love talking about Japanese culture, food, travel, sports, and everyday life. Whether you're learning Japanese for travel, work, anime and manga, or simply as a hobby, I'd love to help you build your confidence and improve your conversational Japanese in a natural way. Since I'm also living abroad and learning a foreign language myself, I understand both the excitement and the challenges of language learning. I can support you in English whenever needed, so beginners are very welcome. I'm looking forward to meeting you and enjoying the journey of learning Japanese together!

Friendly Japanese teacher with over 10 years of teaching experience I was born in Fukuoka and grew up in Hiroshima and Kyoto. Since 2021 I have lived in Glasgow, Scotland.

Takeo is an exceptional teacher who genuinely invests in your growth and progress. Thanks to his supportive guidance and practical conversation practice, I feel entirely confident heading into my upcoming trip and no longer hesitant to speak in person. Every lesson is structured, encouraging, and tailored to real-world scenarios. Highly recommended!

Maki-sensei is a very detailed and patient teacher who keeps class engaging by combining structured grammar and vocabulary lessons with everyday discussion topics and things I enjoy. I have learned a lot of new vocabulary from everyday topics like cooking to more difficult conversations such as world events and even slang. I've mentioned that I like writing and music, so she was very kind to incorporate creative exercises and I've even been able to analyze and interpret one of my favorite Japanese songs one lesson. Maki-sensei also provides notes and tips on mistakes I make while speaking, and I have been able to create flashcards to study and refer back because of this. These days, I can walk away from my computer while watching something in Japanese, and understand most of what is being said without subtitles, which is a big improvement from when I first started. Maki-sensei keeps class engaging so I can easily retain a lot of information. Thank you for all of your help and guidance!

I recently took Ako-Sensei's new "Drills, Drills, Drills" class and I highly recommend it for anyone who needs to iron out any of their weak points. Before the lesson, I gave Sensei a list of the topics I have been struggling with and she made a custom lesson for me to brush up on them and make the points stick. You'll be talking a lot if you take this class, so make sure to take plenty of water! Thank You for the lesson Ako-Sensei!

I took lessons with Sakura Yoko sensei to prepare for my trip to Japan. She listened very well to my needs, and adjusted accordingly. She also was very good at teaching and speaking Japanese at exactly the level that I needed. I really loved that she would actively correct me where I made a mistake and teach me how to say it in natural Japanese. For every lesson we agreed together on the topic beforehand, and she would always come prepared with a conversation and a scenario, from a dialogue to videos to use as a visual aid. Something else that was very helpful was that she would make notes during the lesson of words, phrases and grammar points and send those to me afterwards to study. I had a great time studying with her, and I feel much better prepared for me trip. I´m very thankful for the lessons and believe she went above and beyond so I could get the most out of it!

Aika-sensei is an excellent teacher who is kind, encouraging, and patient. During our conversations, she asks questions that are at the right level to push me to improve and attempt to more challenging sentences, while keeping the conversation comfortable and enjoyable. My Japanese speaking ability has drastically improved since taking lessons with Aika-sensei. I would highly recommend her lessons!

Highly recommend if you are an intermediate Japanese learner looking to speak more Japanese. We casually talk during the lesson and Hide creates your study materials based on what you talk about during the lesson. You end up learning a lot about what you would normally talk about in conversations in your native language and it feels personalized.

Tomoko sensei is a very patient teacher. She always tries to understand what I mean first, and only then gives the right correction, so I never feel cut off mid-sentence. In our lessons she guided me through a full presentation in Japanese, and kept asking follow-up questions so the conversation never stalled. Highly recommended for anyone who needs Japanese for work.

I highly recommend Hina Sensei for anyone who is looking to seriously improve their language skills, whether through the JLPT or otherwise. Thanks to Hina Sensei’s well structured lessons and thoughtful feedback, I’ve been able to make more progress than I thought possible. As a person who best learns by doing, I can read textbook explanations and examples all day and not truly understand. But Hina Sensei’s lessons always make me directly engage with the material right away and I learn so much faster this way. Hina Sensei also has tons of in-depth knowledge of the JLPT and learning and putting her strategies into action is really helping me improve. I know this test is a big challenge for me but with Hina Sensei’s guidance I think I’ve got a chance 😊

We went through more reading strategies today. It was really hopeful to know how to read faster for different types of questions. Chieko’s lesson is always very structured where we go through the theory before diving into the practical and wrapping up with a summary. She’s also very encouraging despite me not being 100% sure and guessing answers which makes me feel at ease. When there is a word I don’t know she also encourages me think what it means as there are probably plenty of words in the JLPT that I won’t know.
