About Me
italki teacher since Jul 5, 2013
InterestsPets & AnimalsFoodTravelMusicSports & Fitness
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. I got a start online teaching because I wanted to use English at work. I am opened and easy going, but sometimes straightforward ;/ Since I like weight training, I prefer to apply the motto 'No Pain No Gain' for my life. This spirit can be reflected on my teaching style too.

忠裕先生 has a clean and clear teaching structure utilizing a variety of sources such as Genki, Genki workbook, and Minna No Nihongo materials. We cover reading, writing, speaking, shadowing, pronunciation, grammar structure, and theory. Plus weekly homework challenges. Being able to work with 忠裕先生 has greatly improved my Japanese, much more so than my previous self studies. 忠裕先生、ありがとうございました。

Continuing to work through Genki 1with the use of the Genki and Minna workbooks for completing homework. Even with an off week, I am finding Hiro Sensei's teachings have made a difference, I am able to recall grammar structure easier than before and am more conscious about correct pronunciation (even though I don't always succeed!). Hiro Sensei is understanding and comfortable to talk with which really helps our sessions. For next week, I must try harder! Once again, ありがとうございました。

Always a pleasure to be tutored by such a wonderful sensei. As a previous self learner I have noticed that after reading Genki and other materials I have become used to what answers I should be giving which has narrowed my knowledge and understanding, Hiro Sensei often challenges my understanding and knowledge by asking me to translate sentences he provides which I feel has broadened and strengthened my knowledge (which I am grateful for). Hiro Sensei often introduces other materials, test sheets, and homework that are relevant and useful. We go over small adjustments in my pronunciation and tips/documents to help with that. Once again, ありがとうございました。
