A trialing tutor of Japanese, Spanish and EnglishHi everyone! My name is Bruno. I am a native Japanese speaker from Yokohama, Japan. I was born and raised in Japan. However, my parents are initially from Peru, so I grew up speaking Spanish too. So, I have a deeper understanding of the challenges of learning a new language. I'd be glad to help you with your Japanese.

I have been taking Miyuki-sensei's lessons for a couple months now: she excels at providing high quality lessons that incorporate culture and current events into learning the Japanese language. If you want a teacher that knows exactly how to customize your lesson to improve your skills in the most efficient way possible I would give her a try!

From the first lesson, she made me feel comfortable for me to learn Japanese by her. She is easy to learn from and talk to. She’s patient with teaching and time it take for me to learn. I know I still have a long road ahead to perfect my Japanese. But I have to say “thank you Sayaka”. You rock!

I'm so glad to have Rena as a teacher. She is really amazing and always takes her time to explain every question I've got. She fully commits to me as an individual, which I really appreciate since it's an important matter to me. Thanks to her I'm able to improve my japanese skills way more than only studying with a book or some bigger class / course.

In fact, you can easily compare between different tutors in language platforms like Preply. Here, you can filter the list of tutors by language, price, country and availability so that you can find your favourite tutor within the price range that works best for you.
