Eri Tsunoda
San Francisco, CA

Super friendly and easy going Japanese teacher😊 Japanese tutoring, Elementary math in English

I have been teaching Japanese on other platforms for 6months. I don’t have any certificates, but I am teaching Japanese to my host kids, who are 8yo and 9yo now. So mostly my students are kids( from 4 to 12yo). There are other students who can speak Japanese a little bit, and who don’t want to learn Hiragana, which is Japanese letter. Depends on the people, my class is different. I make some class plan for each students, and share it so that students can reflect what we did in the class so far. I also often ask students what they want to learn more, and whether the style suit for them or not.

Matthew Anderson
Santa Monica, CA

Mechanical Engineering Graduate UCLA 2024

Ever since I was born, English was my native language. Living in Indonesia, I went to a school where Chinese was taught, therefore I could read the characters with minimum difficulty. However, without any knowledge of Japanese, I started self-study in early 2019 using Duolingo and other resources mainly from Youtube. Although I started learning for fun, I became engaged and mastered the language in a year. After traveling to Japan several times, I am able to communicate with native speakers. In my community college, I converse daily with my Japanese peers, understanding the foundation of the language up to the slang and being able to read and write. It has been almost 4 years of my self-study, and I hope to continue learning while also sharing my knowledge with other people. My passion for languages has extended over the years, as I volunteered to teach kids in Indonesia who couldn't speak English, and I lead the International Students Club at my college, helping international students with their language barrier, to connect with one another despite our differences.

Chieko Shinoda
Los Angeles, CA

Hello! Kon ni chi wa!

Nice to meet you, my name is Chieko. I am currently studying English in the US. I have 5 years of experience as a Japanese teacher. After graduating from university, I worked for an IT company in Tokyo for over 10 years before coming to the US. During that time, I was in charge of interviews in the HR department, so I can teach you everything from mock interview practice to honorific language and business etiquette. My teaching style is to have you relax and take my classes. Because I believe that you cannot show your true potential unless you are relaxed. This class is all for you, so don't be afraid to fail or make mistakes. Let's have a fun class. はじめまして、Chiekoです。今はアメリカで英語の勉強をしています。日本語教師の経験は5年になります。大学を卒業して、アメリカに来るまで10数年間は東京のIT企業に勤めていました。その間、人事で面接担当をしていたので模擬面接の練習から敬語、仕事上のマナーまで教えることができます。私の授業のスタイルは会話のリラックスをしてもらってクラスを受けてもらいたいと思っています。なぜなら、リラックスした状態でないとあなたの本来の実力が出ないと思っているからです。このクラスの時間は全てあなたのためのクラスなので失敗や間違いを恐れないでください。楽しいクラスにしましょう。

Akira Komatsu

Japanese Language Instructor

(Please message me inquiring about online lessons only.) Thank you very much for your interest in my Japanese language lessons. I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan, living in Los Angeles since 2017, and graduated from the literature department of Waseda University. I have taught for more than four years and have about 3000 hours of teaching experience. I have taught students from 6 years old to over 60 in the US or Canada from beginner to advanced. I have a good time with every student through classes and I also have learned a lot from students. I listen to you as carefully as possible to make the lesson meaningful. I try to listen and understand what my student is interested in and which direction she/he wants to go. I always try to make my lessons fun and informative at the same time. There are some students with autism or ADHD, I do my best for them though I am not a specialist in that field. I enjoy meeting new people and love to talk about Japanese culture, especially movies (Ghibli!), TV shows (Shogun!), music (City Pop!), food (Ramen!) and tourism (I'm from Tokyo!). There are some students from the entertainment industry as actors, band members of world-famous top 40 artists, and film composers who have a business relationship with companies in Japan. Please don’t hesitate to ask any questions. Message me anytime. I offer 20 min sample FREE lesson via Zoom. I am sure that the lessons are going to be fun! I use GENKI as a textbook. Lessons are online only.

Matthew Ortiz
Riverside, California, 미국

University of California Riverside Alumni, Passionate 5 year+ language learner

I have been studying Japanese for the past five years and I would love to pass down the knowledge I recived and kept throught the years. I also know that teaching is a core value in understanding anything especially a language so I knew tutoring would be a great job for me. Being able to conversate with people who also want to learn the same subject is just a wonderful sight to see and experience. Going through several Japanese courses throught college and even before that self studying the language has given me the ability to teach and help many of my fellow classmates.

Alisha Yanos
Las Vegas, NV

Passionate Tutor who likes to make learning fun and easy

Being part Japanese, I took Japanese all of high school to not only learn the language but to learn the culture. Since graduating high school, in order to retain the information I had learned, I am a strong believer of the phrase “use it before you use it”. Learning Japanese is one of the hardest languages, but it can be fun to learn and very rewarding.

Tasha Waldorf
Tucson, AZ

Japanese Language Teacher for All Ages & Adult ESL Teacher for Japanese Speakers

I graduated from the University of California, Riverside with a Bachelor's in Japanese and also received an Associate's of Arts in English from Crafton Hills College. I currently teach Japanese to all ages online on Varsity Tutors, and volunteer at my local Japanese Language School to help with teaching students of all ages in Japanese. In addition, I have earned a teaching certificate (TEFL). This was a 120-hour course which included a course on teaching English as a foreign language and it's structure; while it was specifically for teaching ESL, the bulk of the course focused on the methodology I would need to work as a teacher. I did this so that I can better teach Native Japanese students English, and though I love to teach Japanese the most, I felt that earning a teaching certificate was the best way to learn methods about teaching a language and helping my students as their tutor! Along the way, I learned a lot about teaching, its methods, lesson planning, and how to teach language in general. I love teaching students of all ages, making engaging and fun lessons, and spreading the passion, love, and knowledge of Japanese!

Anna Walter
Rapid City, SD

Your Civil Engineering, Japanese, Mandarin, or College Essay Writing Tutor

I grew up speaking Japanese at home, which gave me a natural familiarity with conversational Japanese from an early age. Additionally, I attended Japanese school every Saturday when I was younger, where I developed basic written skills, including reading and writing hiragana, and katakana. Beyond my academic background, I have traveled to Japan multiple times, which has deepened my understanding of the language and provided me with valuable insights into Japanese culture, customs, and everyday expressions. This first-hand experience allows me to share cultural nuances with students, helping them not only learn the language but also understand its context in real-life situations. Whether you are a beginner or looking to improve your conversational skills, I can help you build confidence in speaking, reading, and writing Japanese while providing insights into the culture that are essential for mastering the language.

Tim Jensen
Minneapolis, MN

Recent College Graduate, Language Tutor

I have been studying Japanese for six years. I began studying Japanese independently in high school, then took four years of intermediate and advanced language classes at Carleton College in Northfield, MN. I worked as a Japanese tutor at Carleton for three years, transitioning fluidly between in-person and remote teaching as COVID demanded. I graduated in 2023 with a Bachelor's degree in Japanese Language and Literature. My connection to Japan and the Japanese language is very personal, as my grandfather was born and raised in Tokyo, and immigrated to the US after WWII. Learning Japanese has enabled me to learn more about my grandfather's life, deepening my connections to my family history and culture. I am also an avid manga reader, and love the films of Hayao Miyazaki. Regardless of where you are on your language learning journey, I am excited to be sharing my passion for Japanese. Learning a new language can be daunting, but I know firsthand how rewarding the experience can be. 一緒に頑張りましょう！
