Having prepared for and taken the SAT Subject Test in Japanese with Listening, Dylan brings practical fluency in grammar structures like particle usage, verb conjugation groups, and honorific registers. He tackles reading comprehension by teaching students to decode kanji compounds in context rather than relying purely on rote memorization. Rated 5.0 by students.

Emily minored in Japanese at Texas A&M and continues to engage with the language through media and self-study. She teaches hiragana, katakana, and foundational grammar patterns like particle usage with the same structured approach she applies to her other languages, making the writing systems feel systematic rather than overwhelming.

Damien studied Asian studies at Cornell, where Japanese language and culture were central to his coursework. He approaches the language by grounding grammar patterns — particles like は versus が, verb conjugation groups, and sentence-ending forms — in real context so they stick. Rated 5.0 by students, he makes the jump from textbook exercises to actual comprehension feel manageable.

Zhaleh is actively studying Japanese at Carnegie Mellon University, which means she's navigating the same kanji memorization strategies, grammar particle distinctions, and reading comprehension challenges her students face. She breaks down tricky structures like て-form conjugations and は vs. が usage in ways that make the logic behind the language click.

Earning a full bachelor's degree in Japanese — not just a minor or a few semesters — means Jina can teach well beyond survival phrases into kanji readings, grammar particles like は vs. が, and the nuances of keigo (formal speech). She brings the same analytical rigor from her science training to breaking down sentence structure and verb conjugation patterns.

I am also fluent (reading/listening/writing) in Cantonese and mandarin Chinese because of my upbringing. Half of my childhood education was received in Hong Kong and the other half was in Australia.

Having majored in Japanese at SUNY Albany, James doesn't just know the language — he understands the grammar architecturally, from particle usage and verb conjugation tiers to the nuances of honorific speech. He teaches reading and writing through cultural context, connecting kanji compounds to their historical roots so students retain them long-term rather than cramming and forgetting. Rated 4.9 by students.

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

I am motivated in addressing the disparities in educational equity here in the Twin Cities, particularly for students of color and students of differing socio-economic backgrounds. I work to build strong relationships with students to determine the strengths and knowledge they bring to the table.

Though her degrees are in biology and science education, Sarah lists Japanese among her interests and brings a teacher's instinct for breaking complex systems into learnable parts — useful when students are wrestling with hiragana stroke order or the logic behind particle placement. Her 5.0 rating and four years of classroom teaching mean she knows how to pace a lesson and adjust when something isn't landing.

Rachel's International Relations coursework exposes her to multiple language systems and cross-cultural communication, which she channels into teaching Japanese fundamentals like hiragana recognition, basic particle usage, and everyday vocabulary. Her relaxed, adaptive style — reflected in a 5.0 rating — is especially useful for beginners who tense up when faced with an entirely new writing system and unfamiliar grammar order.

Having completed an Asian Languages minor at UCLA, Abrahim brings formal training in Japanese grammar, kanji acquisition, and reading comprehension to his tutoring. He approaches the language methodically — building from particle usage and verb conjugation patterns up to reading authentic texts — which works especially well for students who want structure rather than immersion-only learning.

Hi! It's Wataru. I am originally from Japan and have been living in New York since 2000. I had a career as an industrial newspaper pressman/editor in Tokyo so that I know newspaper level strict grammar and manner of business speech. I watch anime and I can talk about Japanese subculture with you if you like. I have been teaching Japanese language in person and online. I have taught from beginners to JLPT N3 certificate prep students. I've taught American, Canadian, English, Indian, German, Australian, Mexican, and so on. Teaching is one of my way to feel the joy of supporting people. I'll help you master the language and dive into Japanese culture and subculture. Once you start to think in Japanese, you will notice that your way of communication changes. English is good for business, law, and science while Japanese is more about sharing feelings. The waiters in Japan may be reluctant to serve your table, but my students prepare well to make them feel at ease and they have fantastic travel in Japan.
