👨‍🏫Find Private Students in Japan🇯🇵 2

Unlike other teacher matching sites, we are striving to build a community of helpful students and freelance teachers. 

Teachers can earn points (called Sensei Points ⭐) for visiting the site each day, posting helpful content and answering questions from our community of learners. 

The more points the teacher receives, the higher they rank on the Sensei Search page. Teachers are free to participate or simply create a normal profile to advertise their teaching services.
