Takeshi sensei is a fantastic teacher! I have had over 200 lessons with him so far and I am always learning something new. His teaching style is very unique and effective, as I have seen a lot of progress in my Japanese since starting lessons with him. It took me a few lessons to understand his method, but once I did, I realized the value in how he breaks everything down to its most simple form. Takeshi sensei is patient, respectful, and really funny!

THE-BEST-LESSONS. Pages of self-made learning materials. Action figures and other goods purchased expressly for making lessons more interesting. Obsessive attention to detail on his end while being extremely flexible with you. On time like a Japanese train. Respectfulness to a level most people I know can't acheive. Fun, funny, and good-natured. I cannot even begin to describe the amazing person that is Takeshi-san. Be prepared for the best Japanese lessons you could possibly hope for.

Takeshi-san is an amazing human who understands the mechanics of sound production and communication very well. He's extremely patient and encouraging. He's passionate about teaching and is very helpful. I really appreciate the effort he puts into the lessons.

Takeshi sensei conducts lessons in a lively way and explains grammar patiently.

Takeshi-san was very energetic and fun to do the lesson with. His use of the dolls was hilarious and actually helped to convey the message of the lesson. I look forward to meeting with him again! 😊

Takeshi-sensei is extremely passionate about Japanese language and Japanese sounds. He's very patient and has been working with me to ensure that I pronounce the Japanese sounds correctly. He provides plenty of examples, explains things multiple ways and provides constructive feedback. If you're after learning to speak Japanese the right way, Takeshi-sensei is your man.
