      (Details in my profile) M. Ed, Certified Japanese Educator with +5 years of experience 🎖JLPT/Fundamental Grammar/Conversation specialist 🏫 Ⅲ. Intermediate level learners who can somewhat make their own sentences and have a simple conversation in Japanese: depending on their current knowledge/ability, materials/contents vary, but typically work on later lessons(chapters) or summary exercises on Genki 1 or JLPT N5-N3 materials.

      Why choose Sora S.
      "I had a lot of fun studying with Sora. He is extremely patient and explains concepts fairly well. His English is easily understandable, though the English in the study material can be funky at times. His Teaching style is beginner-friendly, you don't have to worry about any benchmarks before starting. Moreover, if you feel particularly confident about a certain topic/concept, he won't force you through it. Overall a satisfying experience. "

    Ryusei is such an awesome tutor. Im a guy in my 20s around N3 level in Japanese. I learn 10-15 new words or phrases every session, and they are really natural ways of saying things. I learn a lot about culture and Japan from Ryusei’s experience as well

    Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

    🌆 How do I improve my Japanese in White Plains, NY and what are my options in terms of commitment?

    Besides self-study using special programs, you have several principal possibilities for learning Japanese interactively in White Plains, NY. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, research centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are better priced.) Your 2nd option can be local for-profit language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, government-supported learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Finally, you can find a private Japanese tutor in White Plains, NY. If flexibility is key, you can compare local White Plains, NY and online Japanese tutors.

    🎟 Is it expensive to learn Japanese and what do Japanese tutors charge?

    For university and college courses you can estimate Japanese course cost by dividing annual tuition by ten (one course is usually 3 out of 30 credit hours offered) to get the cost of 1/2 of a hundred instruction hours each semester. Language academies and individual Japanese tutors charge $30-55 for hourly group lesson, with individual classes starting around $50 or more. Some of the most budget-friendly Japanese tutors can be found online, with rates on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor hometown, availability and languages the tutor can teach in. Average reviews for Japanese lessons on Preply is 4.97 out of 5 stars.

    📚 What are the requirements for Japanese language skill level to sign up for a course?

    When considering college and learning center classes be prepared prove your profeciency level. Planned classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework load and exams, so research those in advance. With personal Japanese tutors you can find out in advance for whom the tutor is effective with and which other add-ons they make available (like teaching children or teens, etc.) For best flexibility, choose a tutor from those who are teaching online.

    🔥 Why is Japanese so hard and are there ways to learn it in a better way?

    Formal language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Japanese. As proven by others before, you can gain basic Japanese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback five hours a week you will be able to understand common sentences, speak on some level, shop and place orders in about a year. Physical language immersion is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a rapid and fun way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Japanese. After attaining basic skills, online marketplaces like Preply have Japanese tutors who specialize in intensive classes for intermediate and advanced speakers.

    🤷 How long does it take to learn Japanese?

    Some people just have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Japanese will require at least 600 hours of active use. The required duration of time can differ by a lot depending on your existing level of Japanese or familiarity with other languages in the same group. As soon as you've learned the basics it is a good idea to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, start a journal or write posts and comments using your new language skills, seek native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Japanese out loud. If you're struggling when starting a discusssion you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.

    🤳 Can I pick my own Japanese coach?

    In colleges and universities, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from up to a dozen teachers). Online, of course! The largest selection of pre-screened Japanese tutors with extensive profiles and real student reviews is available on online language learning platforms like Preply.

    🗓 Will I be able to fit lessons in my busy schedule?

    Colleges offer classes two times weekly over a semester (15-week period). Language schools typically have shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, allows the flexibility to schedule lessons around your commitments, on weekdays and/or weekends.
