Private lessons - Japanese

Hello! I’m Kurumi 😊
Thank you so much for being interested in Japan. I’m really happy that you’ve come to Preply to learn Japanese, and I truly want to support you on your language journey! I’ve been learning English for over 10 years, so I understand how challenging learning a new language can be. Memorizing grammar and vocabulary, understanding pronunciation and expressions that don’t exist in your native language—it’s not easy. Especially when it comes to actually speaking the language, it takes time and effort to make what you’ve learned truly your own. I also know that speaking with native speakers can make you nervous or even scared sometimes. I completely understand that feeling. That’s why I think it’s amazing that you’ve taken the first step to have a real conversation in Japanese here! 🌟 In my lessons, I create a relaxed and friendly atmosphere where you can enjoy using Japanese with confidence. Whether you want to practice natural conversation, learn more about Japanese culture, or simply get comfortable speaking, everyone is welcome—no matter your level!
Let’s have fun learning Japanese together! ✨ [ About me ]
I was born and raised in Tokyo, and I am currently a university student. 🎬 Hobbies: watching movies and practicing Japanese calligraphy (I’ve been doing it for 10 years!)
🌏 I love traveling abroad.
🗣️ I can speak English (IELTS 5.5). I’m currently studying Korean.
In my lessons, you can learn basic Japanese grammar, practical conversation skills ((both formal situations and casual, friendly styles), useful travel phrases, and fun insights into Japanese culture — all in a relaxed and enjoyable way! 🌟 I participated as a class supporter for exchange students, teaching learners from beginner to advanced levels. Also, I'm teaching Japanese online platform. 🌟 During the trial lesson, we’ll introduce ourselves and discuss your learning goals, so you can feel comfortable and confident from the very first session. 🟠 I can communicate in English and a little Korean, so even if you’re a complete beginner, don’t worry — I’ll guide you step by step! 😊 ✨ After each class, I’ll send you a PDF summary of what you learned. I can also include translations in your native language to help you review easily. Vocabulary and grammar covered in class can be compiled into files and provided to you. Additionally, quiz and flashcard data can be provided after class. 🎯 Each lesson is customized to your level and goals, so you can learn efficiently and enjoy your progress. Let’s make Japanese learning fun and meaningful together! 🌸
I’m really looking forward to meeting you soon!

Hello, my name is Megumi Taguchi. I am currently teaching Japanese at a university in the United States. The reason I teach Japanese is that I want students who are interested in Japan to gain a deeper understanding of Japanese culture and bring it into their daily lives, and to discover a “new version of themselves” through learning the language. So far, I have taught Japanese both online and in person, based in Japan and the United States, to university students and professionals aiming to work in Japan. I believe that “teaching the Japanese language is also teaching the culture.” In my classes, I use illustrated real-life situations for conversation practice and focus on helping students acquire natural Japanese expressions and practical communication skills that go beyond the textbook. I also design lesson content tailored to each learner’s needs, incorporating various approaches to make learning Japanese both enjoyable and effective.
