About Avaelin
I am an accomplished online private tutor and currently maintain students that are beginners all the way through JLPT N2. I've lived in Japan and speak at an advanced level (N2/N1 or CEFR C1 roughly), depending on the specific subject matter. I have a degree in Japanese Language and Literature and have lived in and visited Japan several times in my life. I routinely enjoy Japanese media without the assistance of English and bring a lot of practical language learning experience that comes from years of self-study and learning language acquisition techniques, not just in Japanese but across many other languages. I also work with many students who lead all kinds of lives and it's my job as a tutor and Japanese enthusiast to remove all of the roadblocks that I can between you and reaching the level of fluency you want to achieve with Japanese.
I currently maintain about 15 students on another (more expensive to the student) tutoring platform, as well as a few direct clients. Don't let my student count through Superprof worry you!

My method is a combination of work with textbooks and free conversation and activities tailored to my students. One day we might be practicing travel necessities, another we might work on understanding a Japanese YouTube tutorial on skateboarding, reading the manga you always wanted to experience in Japanese, or helping you develop listening skills for conversation or... just for watching anime and playing games.
I embrace using techniques to minimize the grind (it's still a grind!) as well as my years of experience teaching and studying languages myself.
I am a native English speaker who has studied, spoken, and now taught Japanese since the early 2000s. I have a lot of experience in linguistics and in explaining difficult concepts about Japanese in ways that people with no prior experience with Japanese or linguistics can understand. I'm also used to working with neurodivergent students, and I am neurodivergent myself!
I accept students at all levels from Absolute Beginner all the way to Advanced Intermediate (Roughly JLPT N3/N2 in terms of language content). I teach students 10 years old and up, though I specialize in teaching adults.
A typical lesson might involve a little free conversation in Japanese, discussing some grammar points, and then practicing with new vocab and constructions with exercises and more free conversation. After that I leave a portion of the lesson tailored to a given student, depending on what they need to focus on or what they want to focus on, whether a special interest or just more practice in problem areas. I try to leave as much English at the door as I can and it's my goal to get my students using Japanese fast.
For those who prefer textbooks as the basis of their learning, I am experience with both the Genki and the Tobira series, but have taught and learned from others as well.

- Linxi was great to chat with and really enthusiastic about Japanese despite being an absolute beginner! I'm really looking forward to more Japanese lessons with her.Avaelin's response :
Perfect! Very nice and competent teacher!
- Jingwen was a pleasure to talk to and is approaching the study of Japanese from the right place! It's always a treat to speak with a new student in Japanese almost exclusively. I look forward to working with her more in the future!Avaelin's response :
Perfect! Avaelin is Positive and encouraging! We did a systematic review of material studied, Avaelin pointed out nuances I would not have caught by studying on my own. I am so glad I reached out and set up tutoring.
- I'm looking forward to working with Ana more over the next couple of months! She has a tough target to hit but a very realistic approach and understanding of the time it will take, which is always a relief to see as a teacher!Avaelin's response :
Excellent! Avaelin has been a very helpful Japanese tutor to me for a while now and has been great to work with. Lessons have been and always are enjoyable and instructive.
- It's always a pleasure working with Lisa's son Will. We've been working together elsewhere for nearly as year now and he's a great kid. It's been lovely seeing him get more confident and capable in the language.Avaelin's response :

Avaelin is a fantastic tutor. I've been learning with her for a number off months now and I feel like I've made amazing progress with my Japanese.
She's patient, happy to answer any questions and tailors classes to my needs and learning styles with ease. She makes classes entertaining and relevant to what I want to learn about.
She's also brilliant at helping me build confidence. It can be unnerving to learn a new language and I often feel self-conscious, but the calmness she approaches class with really helps me push myself outside of my comfort zone and I can see really consistent improvement.Avaelin has been teaching me Japanese for almost 6 months now. He’s always on time and hasn’t missed a session. Always makes sure I understand the material. He answers my questions and gives explanations. He also has the experience to back him up and is passionate about what he does. Couldn’t ask for more.
Avaelin is patient and kind. She has great teaching abilities and knows her material! Works in a way that is easier to learn than using some app or program!
You'd be hard pressed to find better!She's very patient and enthusiastic in our lessons. After having lived in Japan for a while, she has a lot of knowledge about the language, country and culture. She's able to answer a lot of questions about how the language is used formally in places like a work environment and informally in social settings like when hanging out with friends. So she's great if you're studying for Japanese exams or if you're learning in a more casual way.
Avaelin is an amazing instructor to learn Japanese from. She is very knowledgeable and patient with her students, and adapts her methods to fit her students needs.
I would highly recommend.View more recommendations
