Learning Japanese means juggling three writing systems, honorific levels, and grammar that works nothing like English — and Karen tackles all of it from firsthand experience using the language abroad. Whether a student is memorizing their first hundred kanji or practicing particle usage in complex sentences, she builds each lesson around practical communication skills.

Learning Japanese means juggling three writing systems, unfamiliar grammar structures, and a set of politeness registers that don't exist in English.

I'm a student at Brown University with an eclectic set of interests. I am trilingual, analytical, and creative and look forward to tutoring you! :)

I am an experienced tutor and teacher from Okinawa, Japan who recently graduated from Brown University and now lives in Brooklyn.

I am a current student at the University of Vermont. I am completing two Bachelors in Linguistics and Japanese, and am a researcher for both departments. From high school to the present day I have tutored people my age and younger, and I have experience working with refugee/ELL students; I have collected 2 years of experience. Though I can tutor several subjects, I am most passionate for Japanese, and feel it is my true calling. In my experience helping those who want to learn a foreign language like Japanese, I have found that scaffolding, or building off of, your interests in film, food, literature and culture has a profound and positive effect on your learning. I love education and learning for the sake of learning, and I will soon graduate and plan to teach English in Japan; sharing language and culture is my way of helping others and the world.

Briana minored in Japanese at Michigan State, giving her a grounded understanding of the language's grammar patterns, particle usage, and writing systems — hiragana, katakana, and introductory kanji. She approaches Japanese as someone who learned it systematically in an academic setting, which means she can explain the "why" behind structures that often confuse English speakers.

Studying Japanese as a minor at Columbia — with plans to eventually work in Japan's renewable energy sector — Shin uses the language as a living tool, not just a classroom exercise. He teaches everything from hiragana and katakana basics to intermediate grammar patterns like ～てしまう and ～ことにする, adjusting to each student's level and building real conversational confidence alongside written accuracy.

Linguistics training gives Andrew a structural advantage when teaching Japanese — he understands how languages build meaning differently, which matters when explaining why particles replace prepositions or why verbs land at the end of every sentence. His background in Korean and German means he's personally navigated multiple grammar systems far removed from English, and he applies that comparative instinct to make Japanese word order and conjugation feel logical rather than arbitrary.

Learning Japanese means juggling three writing systems, unfamiliar sentence structures, and layers of politeness that don't exist in English. Aki breaks down hiragana, katakana, and basic kanji recognition alongside grammar patterns like particle usage and verb conjugation, building reading and conversational skills in parallel.

During his final summer at NYU, William traveled to Japan to study the language alongside traditional music and wartime film, grounding his Japanese in real cultural context. That immersive experience means he connects vocabulary and grammar to the situations where they're actually used — from reading signs and menus to discussing historical texts. He's especially strong at bridging the gap between textbook Japanese and how the language sounds in practice.

Learning Japanese means juggling three writing systems, unfamiliar sentence structures, and particles that don't map neatly onto English — Rex tackles each layer separately so students can build real reading and conversational ability. His communication design background also gives him a unique perspective on how visual layout and typography work in Japanese media, which keeps lessons engaging and culturally grounded.

Mechanical engineering at the University of Dayton doesn't obviously connect to Japanese, but Nicholas's systematic problem-solving mindset lends itself well to breaking down kanji radicals, verb conjugation groups, and particle logic into repeatable patterns. He's also genuinely social and talkative — a trait that matters more than you'd think when practicing conversational Japanese, where comfort with speaking aloud is half the battle.
