    ※I'm going to take a holiday from 9th of May to 19th of May. 🇯🇵Japanese teacher living in the UK 🇬🇧 I have 3 years tutoring of experience in the UK 👩‍🏫 Previously I worked as a primary (elementary) school support teacher in Japan. Since moving to the UK I have worked as an online Japanese and music teacher. I teach all ages and levels of ability, so please don't hesitate. I am also studying Spanish and French, so I know how hard it is to study a new language.
    【Teaching experience】

    Why choose Tomomi F.
    "Tomomi is a joy to talk to. She is observant and attentive to the conversation, making it easy to naturally move from topic to topic. She is kind, patient, and very easy going. Using natural conversations to practice my current level of Japanese has helped immensely. Grammar and vocabulary are more retainable now because it's actively being put into practice. It’s helped me be more proactive in the language rather than just passively learning. The many mistakes I make are kindly corrected and Tomomi writes new words and phrases that come up in chat just in case I would like to study those as well."

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

🌆 How do I skill up on Japanese in Kobe and is possible to go light in terms of commitment?

Besides self-study with recorded courses, you have 4 main possibilities for learning Japanese interactively in Kobe. First, universities and community colleges are an especially good idea for in-state residents. Also, read about centers for continuing education and professional studies (they are a little more affordable.) Your other resource can be local private language academies that cost less and flexible in schedule and requirements. Third, non-profit learning centers usually offer cheaper group and more expensive in-person courses. Last, you can choose a private Japanese tutor in Kobe. If flexibility is key, you can compare local Kobe and online Japanese tutors.

🎟 Is it expensive to learn Japanese and what does a lesson with a tutor of Japanese cost?

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 rate for about 50 course hours each semester. Language schools and individual Japanese tutors charge $30-55 an hourly group lesson, with private classes starting from $50 or more. Some of the more affordable Japanese tutors can be found online, with tuition on Preply averaging 19 and tutor rates varying widely based on tutor location, positive reviews and languages the tutor can teach in. Customer review average for Japanese lessons on Preply is 4.97 out of 5 stars.

📚 What level of Japanese do I need to sign up for a course?

When considering college and learning center classes be prepared prove your profeciency level. All classes vary widely in terms of textbook quality, homework volume and tests, so research each program in advance. With personal Japanese tutors you can read reviews and get a good idea for whom the tutor is effective with and which other specializations they make available (like intermediate level practice, advanced students etc.) For better flexibility, choose a tutor from those teaching online.

🔥 Why is Japanese not easy and are there ways to learn it more effectively?

One-size-fits-all language instruction practiced in schools is not the most effective way to learn Japanese. According to experts, you can gain basic Japanese fluency in 300 hours from zero knowledge. Studying and getting feedback several hours a week you will be able to understand most expressions, be understood when you talk, shop and place orders in about a year. Offline interaction is not a practical option for everyone, so online classes are a ready and enjoyable way of acquiring the basic knowledge of Japanese. After acquiring 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 get better at speaking Japanese?

Some people have a natural ability and learn languages quickly, but for most to go beyond the basics and gain working fluency in Japanese will demand at least 600 hours of dedication. The length of time can differ a lot depending on your current level of Japanese or knowledge of other languages in the same group. After alphabet and basic reading it is best to use the language as often as possible: watch videos, try typing using your new language skills, find native speakers to speak with, try more ways to think and speak in Japanese out loud. If this is a greater challenge than you had anticipated you can also take conversational Japanese classes online.

🤳 What are my options when choosing the Japanese tutor?

In language learning academies, there's a chance you can choose your own tutor (from select few). Online, certainly! The largest selection of verified Japanese tutors with video profiles and customer reviews is available on online language learning marketplaces like Preply.

🗓 What's the best time to schedule classes?

Colleges run classes twice a week over a semester (15-week period). Language schools as a rule give shorter, 8-week, 12-week, and 16-week course sessions. Online, you can take as few as one lesson a year, as many as several a day - and as many (or as few) as you want during any time of day, on weekdays and/or weekends.
