Private Japanese Lessons That Fit Your Goals and Interests
[ABOUT ME]
I’m Ryota, a native Japanese speaker living in Yokohama, and I’m here to help you learn Japanese in a fun and practical way. With strong English skills and a deep understanding of what it’s like to learn a second language, I can guide you through the tricky parts and make the process smoother.
[ABOUT THE SESSIONS]
Our sessions are going to be tailored to your particular goals and interests. If you’re a beginner, we’ll start with easy conversations or watching and discussing videos in Japanese. That way I can help you get used to the rhythm and flow of Japanese. If you’re a more advanced learner, perhaps preparing for the JLPT, we can review past exams together and focus on polishing your grammar and vocabulary to get you ready.
I’m also well-versed in Japanese traditions and culture—including anime and manga—so we can easily incorporate those into our lessons if they interest you. And if you’ve recently moved to Japan or are planning to, I can share insights and practical tips to help you navigate life here. (I’ve got plenty of expat friends and know the drill!)
If you’re looking for a supportive, chill tutor to guide you on your Japanese journey, I’d love to help. Let’s make learning Japanese an exciting and enjoyable experience together!

🇯🇵Nationally Certified Japanese language teacher teach Japanese language class for international students in Japan登録日本語教員/日本語教師
I have not only certified Japanese language teacher but also
Japan government “Nationally “ certified Japanese language teacher.
I have been teaching Japanese language for 8 years to U.S Navy base military students on Yokosuka U.S. Navy base ,DoDEA Ikego elementary school students in Ikego and International students at Japanese language school in Yokohama.
I am teaching Survival Japanese,Grammar,JLPT N1-N5 and so on.
I can arrange your class as your demand.
I became a Japanese teacher because my half Japanese and American daughter was struggling to learn Japanese, specially counter numbers.
We lived overseas so my daughter couldn’t speak Japanese language at all when she was 5 years old.
I didn’t know how difficult and complicated Japanese language was.
So I got certified to teach Japanese and I started teaching in 2017.

Classes for junior high students from academic performance (entrance exam for senior high school). Face-to-face instruction only.This class is for junior high students who currently living in Japan who are preparing for the entrance exam for senior high school and are suffering from poor academic performance. In most cases, there is no single cause for poor academic performance, but rather a combination of factors. Adults may dismiss a child's inability to get a good score on a school test as a lack of understanding, but I will carefully explore the reasons why the students are struggling. Through my own experience of studying for the entrance exams (private junior high and university) as well as my teaching experience of more than 40 Japanese students, I'd like to help you.

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 :)

🍡 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! 🌸
