Hello, everyone. My name is TAD. I am from Osaka, Japan. I have taught as a professional teacher at various domestic institutions, a high school, and universities in China. I've got training to talk in standard Japanese. With the skill of announcement, I have recorded a large variety of listening materials and examinations. My hobby... no, my interest has been always to sounds around me, like analyzing their components, creating, and studying pronunciation. ---- 大家好！我是TAD。 我生长在大阪，大阪是日本的美食之城（食い倒れの街），因此我也非常喜欢美食，喜欢到处走走看看。幸运的是成为专业日语老师后，我获得了去很多地方教日语的机会，实现了我行万里路，吃万千美食的愿望。在中国的教学经历更是给我留下了很多深刻的回忆。 学生时代我一直是学校广播室的播音员，接受过专业的发音训练。标准的日语发音是我的强项，也有很多制作听力教材和试题的经验。 我最大的爱好是收集各种声音，对这些声音进行分析、编辑组合等等，非常有趣。

Tad is patient and support. He always takes time to explain things, even in different ways to enforce and help me improve. I will continue booking lessons with him on a regular basis.

Wow! This is my second lesson in and I'm really excited to be learning with Tad. His teaching style really works for me. I am working towards passing the JLPT tests but am a complete beginner. The approach is very friendly because of how immediately usable and functional it is, and he explains the logic behind word and sentence composition in a way that will really stick with me as we work through our textbook. I can't wait to see where this journey goes.

Today‘s lesson with Tad-san was great! He helped me with a specific topic/situation and gave me a lot of useful sentences. His lesson is well-structured, easy to follow and I have enough room to practice and get feedback on my pronounciation. It was very helpful!

TAD-sensei knows so much and is able to explain so many interesting things in such an easy to understand way that I wish he would write a textbook or a reference book so I could buy it. Today I learned about culture, history and language so thank you for today's lesson again!

TAD-sensei is brilliant, and I always learn a lot from his lessons. He always checks in to make sure I understand what he's saying (which is perfect because sometimes I smile and nod), and he is very patient at explaining ideas. I've also learned a lot of really helpful cultural nuances from him. I always walk away from his lessons learning a lot about accents, cultural nuances, and new words or better ways to use grammar points. Thank you sensei!
