"It's not about whether I can or can't. I'm doing it because I want to." Monkey D Luffy, One Piece My journey began in the high-stakes world of Global Banking at Goldman Sachs in Singapore, where precision and cultural agility were the only currency. Today, I live at the intersection of discipline and flow, teaching from the serene coasts of Japan where I surf, play music, and practice the art of "The Present Moment." Having lived in the U.S., U.K., Costa Rica, and Singapore, and explored over 12 countries, I’ve come to understand the art of "living with authenticity". I am a global citizen, a surfer, and a musician who understands that true communication is about the "Soul," not just data. Let’s set sail for your adventure today! <English>***日本語下にあります I have struggled enough before being able to communicate fluently with English speakers! So I understand how you can learn and practice different languages while you are enjoying the process of learning. Besides being able to speak English, understanding and embodying different cultures are a whole another level. However, I have been exposed to people with different cultures and taken leadership in a global environment as a professional. I am very confident of teaching Japanese in English and vise versa. <日本語> 英語で流暢に意思疎通ができるまで本当に苦労しました。なので異なる言語をどのように勉強し練習しつつ、学ぶ過程の楽しさも身をもって感じています。英語で話せること以上に、違う文化を理解し体現することはとても難しいですが、グローバルな環境に触れ、リーダーシップの経験を活かし自信をもって英語と日本語の授業をお教えいたします。 <Purpose> The purposes in my classes are having FUN and being PRACTICAL. <Goal> So as to fulfill them, class will be individualized for each student based on...

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-san is the best teacher I've ever had. He's kind, patient, and fun, and I've learned so much over the past year thanks to him - I could not ask for better!

I asked Hide to specifically aim the class towards conversation practice. And so each of our sessions involves talking about life, then bringing up turns of phrase or grammar and new vocabulary. and then he makes a small practice to review in our own time. The class is accompanied by a running document of everything we've worked on together. and his class style is helpful, interesting and cheerful. i really enjoy our classes together. so much so that I've had my husband join us as a group class. we both need the practice :D

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.
