Private Lessons
Helping you learn Japanese with clarity, care, and confidence.
What is your goal for learning Japanese?
Whether you want to travel in Japan, work here, explore traditional Japanese culture, enjoy Japanese anime, excel in your Japanese classes at high school or college, or pass the JLPT exams—I’m happy to support you every step of the way!
Here are the five courses I offer.
Each lesson will be tailor-made to fit your current level, needs, and goals.
Let’s learn Japanese with Meg!
1. GEneral Japanese
This course is designed for learners who want to improve all four language skills: speaking, listening, reading, and writing.
We will study new grammar points using a textbook and supplementary materials tailored to your level, and then practice them together during the lessons.
2. Speaking
This course is designed for learners who want to focus on improving their speaking skills in daily conversations.
We will discuss topics you choose or ones I suggest during the lesson.
I will gently correct any errors and introduce useful expressions to help you speak more naturally.
When necessary, we’ll also review relevant grammar points.
All lesson notes and corrections will be shared with you on Google Docs.
3. Listening
This course is designed for learners who want to focus on improving their listening skills.
You will work on listening exercises from textbooks, podcasts, and other sources.
I will explain vocabulary and grammar points used in the exercises whenever necessary to help you fully understand.
4. Reading
This course is designed for learners who want to focus on improving their reading skills.
You will work with a variety of reading materials, including textbooks, graded readers, news articles, and podcast transcripts.
I will explain vocabulary and grammar points used in the materials whenever necessary to help you understand fully.
5. JLPT Preparation
This course is designed for learners who want to prepare for the JLPT exam.
The exam consists of three sections: vocabulary & kanji, grammar & reading, and listening.
We will focus on the section(s) where you need the most support to help you achieve your best result.
