Transform your nervous silence into confidence and authentic connection in Japanese in 3 months! <My philosophy is that>1. my class is a safe enviroment where you feel comfortable to try and make as many mistakes as it takes before you make it right because that is where your confidence is born and grow! 2. no question is too basic. Often, your question leads what matters the most in your journey of learning Japanese because everyone learns unique, 2,200+ lessons of helping nervous learners relax and speak. 3. we'll have fun! practical lessons alone won't ignite your motivation for learning a language in a long run, but your joy does. you having fun is my top priority and I will make sure;) <about myself> My journey started in the fast-paced world of global banking at Goldman Sachs Singapore, where I learned the value of precision and cultural flexibility. Now, from the peaceful shores of Japan, I teach while surfing, making music, and living in the present moment. Having lived in the U.S., U.K., Costa Rica, and Singapore, and traveled to over 12 countries, I embrace life with authenticity. As a global citizen, surfer, and musician, I believe true communication connects souls—not just words. If you want to learn English or Japanese with someone who understands both language and culture, let’s embark on your adventure together! 私の旅はシンガポールのゴールドマン・サックスで始まり、グローバルな環境で精度と文化的柔軟性を学びました。今は日本の穏やかな海辺で、サーフィンや音楽を楽しみながら「今この瞬間」を大切に教えています。アメリカ、イギリス、コスタリカ、シンガポールなど12ヶ国以上を巡り、「本物の生き方」を追求してきました。グローバルな視点を持つサーファーでありミュージシャンとして、言葉だけでなく心で伝えるコミュニケーションを大切にしています。言語と文化を深く学びたい方、一緒に新しい冒険を始めましょう!

Highly recommend if you are an intermediate Japanese learner looking to speak more Japanese. We casually talk during the lesson and Hide creates your study materials based on what you talk about during the lesson. You end up learning a lot about what you would normally talk about in conversations in your native language and it feels personalized.

I have been out of practice for a while for personal reasons and was actually quite nervous about my upcoming class,but Hide Sensei’s calming and encouraging vibe has helped motivate me continue working on my Japanese,many times just as I’m about to give up.He’s a great teacher for all levels and I’d highly recommend him😁本当にありがとございます!

Hide helps me push my learning further than I could on my own. Sometimes my lessons are over a month apart, and sometimes they're a week apart, but either way he is able to adapt his plans based on how much progress I'm able to make on my own in-between.
