A passionate teacher of Japanese (my native language), I offer personalized, interactive courses adapted to all levels. 🍡 Build your grammar foundations My comprehensive courses are based on books such as Minna no Nihongo or Irodori, as well as my own materials (slideshows, personalized documents). We approach vocabulary, grammar, conversation and listening in a progressive and interactive way. 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 :) 🍡 Advanced Reading and Listening For learners who already have a solid foundation, these courses help strengthen your reading and listening skills. If you have texts or content that you would like to explore, we will use them in class. Otherwise, I will provide you with resources adapted to your level and interests! 🍡 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! 🌸

Learn Japanese from a Native Speaker – Beginner to IntermediateTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Learn Japanese with a Native Japanese Teacher Hello! I’m a native Japanese speaker and a Japanese teacher. I offer friendly and practical Japanese lessons for beginners and intermediate learners. All lessons are conducted in Japanese. Don’t worry if you are a beginner! I will speak slowly and use simple Japanese according to your level. I’ll help you understand and express yourself step by step. Whether you are learning Japanese for travel, work, hobbies, or simply because you love Japan, I will tailor the lessons to your goals and interests. What we can study * 🗣️ Everyday conversation and speaking practice * ✈️ Useful Japanese for traveling in Japan * 📖 Grammar and vocabulary * ✍️ Reading and writing * 有 Hiragana, Katakana and Kanji * 🎌 Japanese culture and everyday life * 💬 Natural Japanese expressions and pronunciation If you would like to study with a textbook, I can also use the “Genki” textbook for our lessons. You will need to purchase and prepare your own copy of the textbook. I believe the best way to learn a language is to use it and have fun. I encourage you to speak Japanese as much as possible during the lesson, even if you are still a beginner. You don’t need to speak perfect Japanese to start communicating. Making mistakes is a natural part of learning, and I’ll support you along the way. Let’s enjoy learning Japanese together!

Speak More Japanese: Conversation Practice with Personalised FeedbackTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Speak More Japanese: Conversation Practice with Personalised FeedbackTranslate this text using Google Translate.

Do you study Japanese but rarely have the opportunity to actually speak it? This class is designed for learners who want to spend less time listening to explanations and more time expressing themselves in Japanese. You will do most of the talking. I will ask follow-up questions, explore your answers in more depth, and help you keep the conversation going. We can talk about daily life, travel, work, Japanese culture, current interests, or any topic on which you would like to share your thoughts. I previously worked as a consultant in Japan. Asking questions, leading discussions, and helping people organise and communicate their ideas clearly were important parts of my work. I use these skills to create conversations that go beyond simple small talk. I will not interrupt you for every small mistake. You will first have the opportunity to finish expressing your thoughts. I will then help you correct important mistakes and introduce more natural ways of saying what you wanted to say. After the lesson, I can also send you personalised feedback notes containing corrections, natural expressions, and alternative ways to communicate your ideas. This class is ideal for learners who already know some basic Japanese but need more opportunities to speak. The aim is to improve your fluency, confidence, and ability to hold deeper conversations in Japanese. Lessons are available in person in Groningen and online.

“ I’ve wanted to learn Japanese for a long time, but as a native English speaker it can feel like quite a daunting language to take on. Having one-to-one lessons with a native Japanese speaker has made such a difference. Kokoro is incredibly friendly, patient and approachable. She really listens, not just to what I’m trying to say, but also to how I’m saying it, and she corrects my pronunciation and mistakes in a way that is always positive, encouraging and genuinely helpful. I never feel embarrassed about getting something wrong, which makes it much easier to learn and ask questions. I’ve probably bombarded her with questions about the Japanese language and why certain things are said or written in particular ways, but she has always been happy to explain them and takes the time to make sure I understand. I genuinely enjoy my lessons with Kokoro and look forward to them. Learning Japanese is certainly a challenge, but having her guidance makes it feel much more achievable and enjoyable. I would happily recommend her to anyone looking to learn Japanese. ”

“ I recommend Khalil without a doubt to anyone looking to improve his/her German level in both writing and speaking. He is a very professional, structured and knowledgeable teacher. He was able to immediately evaluate my level of German during the very first lesson and adjust the teaching methodology and materials accordingly. I am truly impressed with his patience and dedication towards teaching the proper German pronunciation with all its complexities and difficulties as well as the proper rules when it comes to grammar and language. We also had lessons using Skype which is also a good option for those who have a limited amount of spare time or are too far apart from the teacher. It is obvious that Khalil loves what he is doing and is willing to put all his effort into his passion. I wholeheartedly recommend Khalil for anyone wanting to learn the language. ”

“ For a long time I had been looking for a Japanese teacher in Luxembourg for private lessons until I found Maki-sensei. Her teaching style is really meeting my needs: she is encouraging me to talk more in Japanese while working on my vocabulary and grammar. She is using a range of teaching materials, such as text books, audio clips, short movie-clips, and articles from web-sites, which makes her lessons very enjoyable and rewarding. After the lesson Maki-sensei provides me with a write-up with newly learned words and corrections. I am always looking forward to the next lesson and strongly recommend her for anybody wanting to learn Japanese or about Japanese culture. ”
