Information About Daiki:


Personal Description:

Hi, I'm Daiki. I'm originally from Japan and now live in Lichfield, UK.

I enjoy helping people learn Japanese in a relaxed, friendly and practical way. Whether you are learning Japanese for travel, hobbies, culture, anime, school, exams, or simply because you love Japan, I can support you step by step.

My lessons are personalised to each student's goals, level and learning style. I focus on building confidence and helping students use real Japanese in natural situations, not just memorise from textbooks.

My background is in teaching and education. I originally worked as a Japanese history teacher, so I can also include Japanese culture, history, education and study in Japan in lessons where relevant.

I welcome complete beginners, younger learners, and students preparing for JLPT N5/N4.



Teaching Experience:

My background includes around 9 years of teaching experience in Japan and around 2 years of experience working in education in the UK.

In Japan, I worked as a teacher in mainstream secondary schools, mainly teaching Japanese history. In the UK, I have experience supporting students with individual learning needs, including one-to-one support.

At the moment, I teach Japanese privately to several learners, including UK secondary school students and adult learners. I also teach at a Japanese supplementary school on Saturdays.

I enjoy creating lessons that are clear, relaxed and suited to each student's goals. Lessons can include conversation, grammar, reading, writing, travel Japanese, Japanese culture, education in Japan, study in Japan, and JLPT preparation. I can also use textbooks such as Genki, depending on the student's level and goals.



Tutoring Approach:

My teaching style is friendly, patient and flexible. I believe learning a language should be enjoyable, practical and not stressful.

Lessons are adapted to each person's goals, whether they want to improve conversation skills, prepare for a trip to Japan, understand Japanese culture, study for JLPT, or build confidence from the very beginning.

I like to explain things clearly and give students plenty of opportunities to practise using Japanese naturally. I can use textbooks such as Genki, but I also include real-life examples, conversation practice and cultural topics depending on the student's interests.

Mistakes are an important part of learning, so my lessons are a relaxed space where students can build confidence step by step.

Face-to-face lessons are available locally, either at the student's home or at a suitable public place. Home-based lessons may also be possible by arrangement.

An additional travel fee may apply for lessons outside Lichfield.

Online lessons are available at £25 for 50 minutes.
