During my undergraduate studies, I worked as a president of SUNY Albany Japanese Student Association and also worked as a TA for Japanese 101 classes, and I absolutely love to teach languages! I understand it is often very hard to find a language tutor outside of the spoken community, and I hope to provide you with the opportunity to be exposed to authentic media sources to acquire natural fluency. Hope to hear from you soon!

I am a native Japanese speaker with a Japanese teaching credential. All ages and levels are welcomed! Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. I am also qualified to tutor graduate students (Master’s and PhD) doing their thesis.
I believe when we learn other languages, it is important to learn their culture, history, etc. for better understanding. I’ve learned Japanese drums, how to wear Kimono, Tea and flower ceremonies so that we can explore Japanese culture more than just learning the language!

Do you want to understand your favorite anime show, movies or Japanese culture better? Do you want to learn to crack jokes in Japanese and win any crowd over? Would you like to do business in Japan and need someone who can not only teach you the language, but cultural differences and etiquette so you can win over any client?
Japanese and English are polar opposites in many ways.
Sentence structures are upside down. English is written horizontally left to right, but traditional Japanese is written vertically right to left.
Communicating can be difficult when what can be spoken directly in English has to be said in more subtle ways in Japanese, and this miscommunication can cause relationships to break down.
My passion is to help people cross cultural barriers and make new friends.
Learning a new language can build confidence and expand your mind in ways you never thought possible!
One of the signs that you have truly mastered a language is to understand the humor. I can ...

Online Japanese Classes for Everybody
What’s the secret to learning Japanese as fast as possible? Working with a private tutor! Online Japanese classes combine the convenience of remote learning with the effectiveness of one-on-one tutoring, so you or your child can maximize their language potential. TakeLessons takes the guesswork out of finding the perfect online Japanese tutor and makes learning more fun than ever.
Why Take Japanese Lessons Online?
Japanese is a fascinating language that is rewarding to learn, whether your goal is fluency or just enough to get around Tokyo. With three distinct writing systems and various formality levels, it can be difficult to learn on your own. Fortunately, an online Japanese tutor can provide you with a personalized, step-by-step plan to accomplish your linguistic goals.
The Best Online Japanese Classes
Although there is a wealth of resources for learning Japanese, nothing beats having your own tutor. Books, lesson videos, and apps simply can’t give you the level of personalized lesson planning that a private teacher provides. You can get your questions answered in real time while you learn reading, writing, and speaking in Japanese. This results in faster progress and a more complete understanding of the language and culture.
Busy parents and kids alike love the convenience of taking Japanese lessons online. Virtually any schedule can fit in a lesson when there’s no need to commute across town – simply use your computer or smartphone to connect with your teacher directly. It’s easier to stay motivated with a teacher’s help, and regular lessons help ensure steady progress for the long run. Your language goals are never too far away with the right tutor on your side!
With TakeLessons, finding the perfect Japanese tutor is simple. Just browse our listings of Japanese teachers around the world and select a few teachers that meet your needs. Then, you can check out their bio, schedule, and reviews to decide which instructor is right for you. Feel free to send them an introductory message to make sure they are a good fit right from the start! Ready to discover your Japanese language potential? Find your tutor today!

When you're taking Japanese lessons, you will be introduced to the three different writing systems: hiragana, katakana, and kanji. Although kanji is generally considered the most difficult to learn, because of the symbols, it's the most popular writing system among non-Japanese speakers. Kanji consists of thousands of characters which were derived from the Chinese writing system. Because of the way they look, and the fact that they can convey a meaningful message in a limited amount of ch …
