Kokugo - Japanese as Heritage Language for Native/Multilingual Children

This is individual Japanese/Japanese language instruction for primary and secondary school students whose native language is Japanese or who are growing up in a bilingual environment.
By reading aloud a variety of texts and writing compositions, students will gradually improve their Japanese skills.

・Learning programs adapted to each level, objective and environment
・Those who want to improve their Japanese skills in a bilingual environment
・Those who wish to take entrance exams or pursue higher education after returning to Japan

Living outside of Japan, knowing the world of languages other than Japanese, and knowing the language of Japan, which is far from Europe, all have the potential to broaden one's horizons and the world. It is an irreplaceable experience. I would like to use my experience living in Europe as a child and my university studies as a returnee in Japan, and help them learn Japanese together so that they can develop Japanese as an important language for them.

About Me

Learning a language is a great gateway to delve into the world's cultural richness, be it your own or a culture you encounter. Having spent my childhood moving from city to city and living in several countries, crossing oceans and borders for my study, this has become one of my fundamental questions: How can people from various backgrounds meet each other and live together harmoniously? As a language teacher, I encourage my students to open themselves up to embrace diverse cultural richness through active and student-led learning with the unique teaching methods I established.

Reviews (1)

We were warmly welcomed at Marie's home for a group Japanese lesson, organized for my daughter's birthday. She adapted the lesson to my daughter's interest (manga) and birthday. The lesson was clear in structure and a very nice way to get acquainted with the Japanese language and customs. Two of the three girls would like to continue Japanese language lessons with Marie online after this lesson.

Whether you are struggling with your structure, your language or the cohesion of your academic piece, I am happy to help you as a sounding board, partner and guide. My experience in academic writing spans 5 different academic pieces of writing across 3 degrees and several journal articles, with my LLM paper nominated for an award. I am aware of all the pitfalls one can encounter in this really challenging process and am therefore transparent with regards to not only the quality of the paper but also your work ethic in order that you can then obtain the best piece of work possible.

Alethea
Japanese Class from a native Japanese speaker living in Utrecht!
Japanese language, Japanese culture, anime etc has been increasingly popular in many countries worldwide lately. Japanese is a difficult yet very beautiful and interesting language to learn. If you would like to learn Japanese, and learn about the life in Japan in general, you came to the right place! I give fun easy going lessons by mostly encouraging you to speak, because taking it into practice and talking is the quickest way to learn! It's a safe non judgemental space to make mistakes as much as you have to!

Dutch lessons for children
I teach Dutch to children, adapted to the level of the child, the age and the goals that wish to be achieved. The lessons can be given entirely in Dutch, or with explanations and translations in English where necessary (if the child speaks English). With young children I often use cheerful images, games and songs to learn the language in a playful way. From experience, this also works fine online, via video calls. If you send me a message, we can discuss the options together. Tambien puedo dar las clases con traducciones en español.

Homework tutoring,Online /In person Private lessons /Turkish tutoring/Conversation/Grammar/Writing/Reading/Homework
I am a Turkish teacher. I graduated in Turkey with a BA in Languages. The classes I offer are from basic to academic level, so for children, students, expats and adults. That focus is on learning grammar, speaking,, reading and writing. If you want to learn Turkish for vacation, work, family or just as a hobby, I can certainly help you. I use Turkish grammar books, podcast, websites for learning Turkish and other study materials. and the rate is lower from 5 lessons. Normally a student with a motivation to learn the language learns basic Turkish in 10 or 15 lessons. Both private and group lessons (The Hague) are available.
