Hello! My name is Takeshi. I lived in Toronto for two years, and now I'm back in Japan! I also spent 9 months in the States. While I was in the States, I spent my time recording music in Chicago and studying English. I'm super passionate about music, movies, acting, creating content, and language. I'm also addicted to improving myself. I want to meet people who are serious about learning Japanese and whom I can share my vast knowledge with! I'm looking forward to meeting you!

For this class I couldn't prepare like I always do. We started as always with a chit chat, we review a couple of videos I had studied but that I didn't have many questions and since we had time left, Takeshi brought a video to watch together, we watched it twice, one to assess how much I can understand and another one to solve doubts. I learned new vocabulary and had a laugh finding out the plot of the video. Takeshi sent me this video to review it again and make notations and another one to watch for next time. Always fun to hang out with Takeshi, he seems already like an old friend, so fun to talk to that I forget about the time. Thank you for the patience Takkun xP

This time I’ve watched some videos and jotted down all the new words and expressions. We started with a little chit chat in Japanese, catching up and all that, it was fun. We watched both videos together and review all the words and expressions. There were also many cultural references that I needed a bit more context to understand what it was talked about and Takeshi provided me with examples and even showed me videos and photos to see who the character is

Wow... Takeshi is exactly what I was looking for. I've been self-studying Japanese for a while, but never built up my confidence in speaking or listening. Takeshi has so many useful tips, tricks and methods to share - you HAVE to book a lesson :)

I had tons of material accumulated and many questions and we resolved together each one. There were plenty that I struggled with but Takeshi was patient with me and repeat the explanation when I needed it. As always, great class, I had a blast!

Takeshi did this particular lesson the day before he was leaving to study in the US and was still 100% fully attentive and focused on giving the best lesson he could! I've been taking weekly lessons with him for 9 month now and he continues to amaze me with his enthusiasm for teaching. Very happy with my Japanese progress now and I HIGHLY recommend him as an instructor!

Great class, we did a quick catch up, casual chit chat, then proceed to resolve some doubts that I had from previous material and we watched some new material to be reviewed more in depth in the next class. Always so fun to have a class with Takeshi
