Why study Japanese with Cafetalk?
-
Accredited & Experienced Tutors
On Cafetalk, you have hundreds of accredited and experienced tutors to choose from. Many have been teaching Japanese for years online and are officially certified as Japanese educators.
-
One-on-One Learning
Your tutor can assess your Japanese level, personal goals and learning history to create the perfect lesson plan for you. No more group lessons that are too advanced or too boring!
-
Affordable Lessons
Online lessons allow you to meet your tutor without the additional cost of travel and paying for a beverage in a Cafe. Thus, lessons are much more affordable!
-
Feedback from a Native
Self-learning only gets you so far, and you run the risk of adopting mistakes into your speech pattern. Feedback from a native allows you to improve your Japanese swiftly and correctly.
-
Personalized Guidance
As a Japanese company, customer service is one of the pillars of our core values. If you need help finding the right tutor or lesson, one of our trilingual staff members will personally get in touch with you to help you make the right choice.
-
Incredible Flexibility
Cafetalk has no monthly fees or entry fees. You simply buy points whenever you have the time to study, with the tutor or tutors of your choice. Additionally, points are valid for 5 months after purchase, leaving you ample time to use them up.
How do I go about requesting the right lesson?
-
Find Lessons & Tutors with the Lesson/Tutor Search
The Lesson Search and Tutor Search allow you to apply specific filters to find the perfect Japanese tutor for you! -
Book a Consultation/Level-Check Class first!
- If the tutor offers one, it can be useful to book a Counseling/ Consultation/ Level-Check class first. This will allow you to communicate your expectations to the tutor, and the tutor can assess your level and learning history. Don’t be shy to tell your tutor if you have specific ideas!
- If you have no idea where to start, tell your tutor that! Many tutors have lots of experience and can help you find the perfect place to start.
-
Use the Comment Section If You Need To
If need be, you can use the comment section on the booking page of your request to ask your tutor anything! -
Have Your Skype Lesson
Meet your tutor on Skype and have your actual lesson! To assure a smooth flow, try to be online and available on Skype about 5 minutes before your lesson is scheduled. -
Receive Your Feedback & Review Your Lesson
Your tutor will send you some feedback and notes after the lesson so you can review what you’ve learned! Then, you can book another lesson with your tutor or try out a new tutor!
Finding the right tutor can be hard,
so here are some handpicked tutors from the Cafetalk team.

Saya sensei is by far the best Japanese teacher I have met in years. She is very professional and very fun too. A great balance when studying such a difficult language such as Japanese. I absolutely recommend her.

Aya-sensei is awesome! She has helped me with some grammar assignments and corrections. Not only does she correct my errors, but also explains why it is incorrect and how to avoid making the same mistake again. I will definitely be back for more sessions! Thank you Aya-sensei you're a lifesaver and great teacher!

Free talk lessons with Yoshie-san go by very quickly. She's friendly, super easy to talk to, and conversation never stalls and you'll learn new vocabulary words to start integrating into your conversations.
I take a lot of online Japanese lessons and Yoshie-san is definitely one of my favorite tutors! Highly recommended.By ***at45

Kayo-sensei's lesson is great value for the money. The thing that stood out the most about her lesson was the level of professionalism. Even though it was a free talk lesson, she managed to stay focused on helping me with my Japanese. Other teachers that I've had first lessons with often drifted into just plain free talk, which is not how I want my lessons to be. The other thing is the nice lesson summary that she sent back to me after the lesson. This is really useful and I plan to keep referring it to review. I look forward to taking her lesson again soon.

This is my 30th class with Miki 先生 and I love the consistency of the quality of our classes. Always fun and content rich. I love how she always caters to my Japanese language level and energy levels (sometimes I am too tired from work and can't focus as much I want to but she's remained patient with me.) どうもありがとうございました . これからもよろしくお願いします . Always grateful. ^^
