친절하게 알려주시고 모르는 내용이나 틀린내용 수정을 너무 자연스럽게 해주십니다 특히 한국어로 직역된 내용을 일본어 내용으로 자연스럽게 교정 해주시고 모르는 내용을 물어봐도 관련된 내용을 전부 알려주십니다 항상 친절하게 알려주셔서 꾸준히 수업을 듣고 싶습니다 수업 받아보시는걸 강력추천 드립니다.

Video Japanese lessons vs. a language school

The advantage of video lessons goes beyond skipping the commute. In a group class you might speak for a few minutes an hour. In a 1:1 video lesson, all 25 minutes are yours. And instead of fitting a local school's timetable, you compare verified tutors (years in Japan, top JLPT levels, business experience) by reviews and real published prices.

Prices are published by each tutor. The range at the top of this page is the actual going rate for a 25-minute lesson, with no enrollment consultation required. Lessons run on Zoom, in the app or your browser.

For how to choose a video lesson service (price, reviews, making the most of a first lesson), see the guides below.

Choosing a video Japanese service: subscription schools vs tutor marketplaces

Search for video Japanese lessons and you get a flood of brand names, but the services split into two types, and which fits you depends on your goals more than your taste.

The two types of video Japanese service, compared
	Subscription school (monthly plan)	Tutor marketplace (Haru)
Who teaches you	Assigned, and may rotate lesson to lesson	You pick by profile, reviews, and price, and keep the same tutor
How you pay	Monthly fee, spent whether you show up or not	Per 25-minute lesson, only for what you take
Curriculum	A standard textbook track	Built around your goal with your tutor: conversation, JLPT, business
Best for	Learners who want a fixed track to follow	Learners with a clear goal who care who they learn from

Haru is built as the latter for a simple reason: conversation is ultimately about who you keep talking to, so a structure that helps you find your tutor and stay with them produces results. The band at the top of this page is the actual current 25-minute rate.

What a video Japanese lesson looks like

Book an open slot on the tutor's profile. Times show in your own time zone.
At lesson time, join from your bookings on Zoom, in the app or in your browser if you don't have it.
Trade words and sentences in chat during the lesson, so anything you miss by ear you catch in writing.
Leave a review afterward and, if it clicks, continue with the same tutor. Lesson packs are discounted.

Frequently asked questions

Phone lessons vs video lessons: which is better?

For pronunciation, video wins clearly. The tutor needs to see your mouth and expressions to correct precisely, and screen share plus chat let you confirm spelling on the spot. Even the old phone-lesson advantage, learning on the move, is mostly covered by mobile video now.

Can video lessons alone improve my speaking?

Speaking improves with speaking time. One or two 25-minute 1:1 lessons a week usually gives you more actual talking time than a weekly group class.

What do lessons cost?

Each tutor sets their price, and the range above is the current actual rate. Packs are discounted, and you can start with a single lesson to check the fit.

Can total beginners do conversation lessons?

Yes. Some tutors start from hiragana, with explanations in your language. Kana memorization is fastest self-taught, so see the kana guide below to prep.
