Greetings. I am Tom, a nationally registered Japanese language teacher from Japan. With over 15 years of professional experience spanning both the IT sector and educational institutions, I specialize in teaching practical Japanese with a wide range of knowledge in grammar and Japanese culture.
Please access to my educational YouTube channel 'nihongo Tom' (https://www.youtube.com/@nihongo_tom/videos)
My interests :
Studying Japanese history, reading both Japanese and world literature, visiting shrines and temples (collecting Goshuin stamps in booklet), playing guitar (flamenco), watching animes, running, travel, and learning foreign languages, etc.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have taught students from different countries for more than 3,500 lessons on italki as well as one-on-one lessons for business persons working in Japan. My teaching philosophy centers on helping students consolidate solid foundations and improving your Japanese skills in a way that aligns as closely as possible with your interests. Through consultation, I suggest a suitable textbook to tailor to individual goals, considering each student's learning style.

Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
Practice makes perfect. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. It's part of learning. Let's enjoy the process!!
If you want me to point out areas for improvement, this is the place for you. I am a coach who wants to help students improve their Japanese. I will point out grammatical errors and pronunciation as necessary.
We use Google Meet in lessons (G-mail account is required).
Also we can share Google Doc to take notes for corrections about grammar or words.
Cancellation/Reschedule policy: my policy reflects the italki restriction. Rescheduling lessons must be completed on the system at least 24 hours before their start time.
I have an incomplete pool of knowledge that needs polish and structure, I have a solid game plan now after just a trial lesson! Im excited to improve and return for more

Tom is very focused on pronounciation and learning in the correct way without short-cuts. I like his methods very much and I think he's an amazing teacher.
