Private Lessons with Lesson Market
Have you ever had these thoughts during class?
Here is how Lesson Market differs

Learn anytime
With Lesson Market, you and your teacher decide a lesson time together. Lessons are 60 minutes long, and the lesson frequency is up to you.

Private Lessons
At Lesson Market, a professional in the field will be your instructor. Unlike group lessons, you will be able to receive one-on-one instruction under a teacher that will be able to cater to your needs.

Beginners welcome!
Students may sometimes be intimidated by their teacher. No need! At Lesson Market, your instructor will create a friendly teaching atmosphere. In addition, in order to avoid creating bad habits, attending in-person lessons in the beginning is recommended.

Hello, my name is Seiji. a native Japanese speaker. I’m from Tokyo, born and raised, but I live in Izu in Shizuoka prefecture and doing tour guide now.
I used to live in Australia when I was 20’s, and have experiences of working at foreign companies for 11 years after I came back to Japan so I speak English too.
I have traveled all around Japan by motorbike so I know many beautiful places in Japan. I think I can help you if you are planning to visit Japan in near future.
I also did overseas travel over 80 times and visited many countries so I may have been visited your country!
Beside that, I also like playing music (playing guitar, piano and singing in an acappella chorus group). Now I’m teaching music too. Also I like to Cycling, Hiking, Camping, Scuba diving and Snorkeling. I’m also Yoga instructor as well. I’m interested in not only sports, but also very interested in Japanese history, culture and religion too.
So I’m quite curious person. Let’s talk about those topics in my lesson!
In my lesson, I focus on having natural conversation first, rather than using textbook. But It’s also possible to use your Japanese language textbook, if you have it.
Also if you are already in intermediate level and would like to get a job in Japan, I can teach you a professional business Japanese too. I can help you because I have been working in Japan for many years and have experiences of job hunting too. So let’s meet at on-line lesson soon!

Hi there. I am professional musician born in Buenos Aires, Argentina. I am a Viola Player in a Opera House´s Symphony Orchestra in Buenos Aires. I have also studied Classical Guitar, Violin, Piano, Composition and Orchestral Conducting in my country`s national conservatory. But.. I am mostly a popular music player, and I love Pop/Rock music. Even when I have a very fast sightseeing sheet music skills, i think that for playing popular music is by far more important developing the intuition, as a main criteria for choosing what to do. Speaking about Popular music; I play Rock, Pop, Ballads and Blues. I also compose and arrange for groups of such music. I have toured all around the world playing music, as a guitar player and arranger, and also as a Violin player. For a Brief Example of the music I play this is my youtube channel: Electrical Guitar strumming and soloing, and Singing on Rock Music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kJSmfcxRISI Spanish guitar soloing and singing on ballads: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1EsLcE03prs The Orchestra in which i play (Shostakovich 10`s Symphony) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-89dGYL3Fv0&t=721s&ab_channel=OrquestaEstabledelTeatroArgentino Tango on spanish guitar. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=deYpqIc8d3E Jazz Guitar on Piazzolla music: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kiSFaPHi_7g

About Our School
My daughter was kicked out of the classroom.
Hello, I am the representative for Lesson Market, Tomiyoshi. One day, I went to a certain school with my daughter to take a trial lesson. It was a long trip, but whenever I remember how excited my daughter was, I did not mind the trip at all. My daughter seemed to be nervous, but also very excited. Despite that, I did not think *that* would happen…
We arrived to the classroom, and class starts. It was a classroom filled with many students. It seemed like all the other students were experienced, and my daughter was the only one who was new. My daughter gets flustered. The teacher did not seem like they would pay any attention to my daugther, so the lesson continued while she fell behind. I could not bear to watch that, so I would help my daughter by whispering to her some advice while also being considerate of my surroundings. The teacher saw that, and told us “Whispering is not allowed, please leave”, and thus we were kicked out of the classroom.
I acknowledge that I broke the no-whispering rule. However, whenever I think of how much my daughter was looking forward to this day, I could not let this go. I wanted the teacher to give some attention to my daughter. Whenever I think of my daughter who was so looking forward to this day, I am overcome with sadness. I will not forget this experience. From this experience, I started Lesson Market, where you can have completely private lessons. I will not let you have a sad experience like my daughter did. I hope from the bottom of my heart, that you will enjoy your lessons.
