About Me

When it comes to language tutoring, the goals and learning experience of my students are the most important. It has no point if the students' learning outcomes are not reached, or that they find it hard to keep up with the learning because they lose motivations. Learning with me, you'll be able to learn in a way that suits you the most.
I'm enthusiastic about languages, sharing my knowledge in languages have been fruitful for me, and I hope you'll be able to enjoy your learning journey from my classes!

Kaori
Japanese lessons from beginners to advanced people who love Japan
It would be a great pleasure to share my language and culture with you! The classes are semi-structured and can be scheduled flexibly, depending how you would like to study. The aim of the class is to be able to speak and understand the language in an intuitive manner. In the lessons we therefore mainly focus on conversational training. I also provide some (home) excises and practice it together. We can focus on different aspects of Japanese - both language and culture -depending on your preference. Culture is important because in Japanese, the way how you speak is just as important as what you actually say. During the lesson we will handle a variety of subjects, practice vocabulary and pronunciation as well as deal with both intermediate and advanced issues with grammar and expressions in an interactive and engaging way. Along the way I hope you will come to like Japan even more than before! 一緒に頑張りましょう!

Chiaki
Japanese Lessons - Born in Tokyo, I have a Master's degree in Language Education and am certified in Japanese language teaching
Hello!🍡 My name is Chiaki (千明 in Japanese, it means "a thousand lights") and I am a Japanese teacher in Lausanne. Passionate about foreign languages and cultures, I studied Japanese teaching at university and obtained a master's degree in language teaching. I truly believe that a good teacher is also a learner. Through my own experiences with languages like English, German, Arabic, Italian, Korean, and French, I have come to understand the challenges, doubts, and joys that come with diving into a new language. For me, learning a language is more than just words. It’s a way to see the world through a new lens, to understand different cultures, and to build bridges between people. I believe that this knowledge can break down barriers and foster a more peaceful world. 🕊️ As a Japanese teacher, my goal is to offer my students the chance to discover the world through the “Japanese prism”🌈 If you dream of learning Japanese, I would be happy to accompany you :)

Alice
Native Japanese teacher gives Japanese lessons at all levels (18 years of experience). Personalized methodology
All my lessons will be based on the correct interpretation of the nuances of the language, and this is where my "TRI-CULTURE" will serve you best! I will teach you the language and its grammar, as well as the culture and customs through different media chosen especially for each student. I start with Hiragana Katakana which are the basis of the Japanese language, then I continue with the grammar rules necessary to found your own sentences. Then I begin the more elaborate grammar rules of conjugation using different media (texts, videos, songs, etc.) with explanations of sentence nuances. I'll cover Kanji (for those who are interested) and I'll explain how they work, which isn't always very well explained when you start learning Japanese alone. I always give homework from one class to the next so that you don't forget what we learned in class. For JLPT preparations I will base myself on past papers or other materials which will allow you to work on your gaps (Listening, Reading or Writing). I also do exam and interview preparation coaching, particularly working on Keigo and polite turns of phrase.

Let's learn Japanese with a native through a casual talk
-------About me Name: Ayaka Origin: Osaka Japanese: Standard Japanese, Kansai dialect Jobs: Flight Attendant (past), Yoga Instructor (active) Hobbies: Traveling, Yoga, Photography, Walking and hiking, Cooking, Skiing, Animal lover ----------About the Lesson--------------------- The main focus will be on "Speaking." Q. Why is speaking the main focus? A. We want you to experience the joy of speaking Japanese through free talk. Just learning words from manga is not easy to understand what natives say in daily life. I will assist you in learning vocabulary and acquiring natural expressions by speaking with native Japanese speakers. -----A message to the students at the end----- I love cultural exchange and have a friendly personality. Having traveled to various countries and learning German, I understand the challenges and joys of learning a new language firsthand. This makes me happy to be able to help you learn Japanese. I look forward to the day when we can have enjoyable conversations together.

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.
