The new learner is always welcome=) Feel free to approach me if you have any question. My name is Tadahiro Murooka. I was born in Osaka, in 1972. And I live in Tokyo now. My hobby is English, observing people, and weight training. Needless to say, I love eating Japanese food =) Especially, I found myself fond of it more than any other countries food now. And I would like to draw pictures when I have the time but I don’t at the moment… however, I want to engage in such creative work someday. Some of my friends tell me that I am approachable. So you can feel free to give me any kind of question or request. I have student who is struggled with Dyslexia. Nowadays, such problem is very common. So I welcome such student as well=) Learning language is fun and rewarding but also sometimes challeging to continue without let up. Let's enjoy it with me!! I prefer to use GENKI book. It has two sections, Conversation & Grammar section and Reading & Writing section. I would like to cover both section because I believe that Speaking & Listening and Reading & Writing has the mutual relation. And as passing by chapters, we may talk everything in Japanese as much as we can. So learing both are the important thing for the student who wants to reach the intermediate or more level. As for me as a teacher, laying the foundation is the most important. In order to do that, I use the white board, audio file for shadowing or repeating practice with many homework. I'm sure that you can be confident in Japanese through my lessons!

Another great lesson with Sensei. He’s strict (linguistic perfectionist), but that is a good thing. Correct Pronunciation is key. He really knows the Henki book and knows where all the grammar points are by exact page number, which makes it more efficient during the lesson. For example, when I make a mistake, he’ll ask me if I remember reading a grammar point on a particular page, and then we’ll look it over together. He’s just a really good teacher and I could find something new each lesson for which to praise him. He also works on intonation and sentence syntax, which I find very refreshing and helpful!

In order to learn a language you need a good reason. Not just an "I would like to" or "it would be cool if", but a real good reason. Then you need a good teacher. Hiro knows how to create the building blocks you need to succeed. Sometimes you will not know why he spends so much time on a subject until down the road when you realize how important it is. いつも一生懸命教えてくれてありがとうございます。

I really enjoyed the trial with Hiro. He is very detailed and up front about what he is expecting from you, I like the discipline. Very clear on the agenda. I am looking forward to taking more lessons with him.

I’m so blessed to have Sensei as my teacher. He is a compassionate man who truly understands what it is like to be an English-speaking student learning such a beautiful and complex language as Japanese. He also understands life and was very understanding regarding my personal situation. His empathy and patience mean a lot to me. If you desire an excellent teacher who has the patience of a saint and who will not give up on you, then please book this great teacher! Thank you Sensei!!
