Toshi

I started classes with Toshi around last summer and managed to pass the JLPT N3 in december. He is very kind and passionate about teaching Japanese. It's always fun to learn with him and I look forward to every lesson. This year I want to pass the JLPT N2 in december of 2024 and will continue to have classes with Toshi. Definately a recommentdation for all Japanese learners!

Tuve de nuevo una buena experiencia con las clases de Toshi sensei. A lo largo del tiempo que lo he conocido, me ha ayudado a estudiar para el JLPT, a corregir ensayos, practicar oratorias e incluso me ha apoyado con práctica para entrevistas en japonés. Con su ayuda, pude aprobar el JLPT N3 en diciembre del 2022, también obtener premios por esfuerzo por mis ensayos y oratorias, y ahora también, gracias a su guía y apoyo durante todo el proceso, he conseguido la beca MEXT para estudiar mi carrera universitaria en Japón. Recomiendo mucho sus lecciones puesto que es un profesor muy agradable, confiable y sabe adaptarse a las necesidades de cada quien. ¡Muchas gracias, Toshi sensei!

非常感谢我的Toshi老师！在Toshi老师的指导下，我顺利通过了JLPT N2考试，一次通过！ 在非脱产学习了150个小时左右后取得这样的成绩，得益于老师一直以来的耐心讲解。再次感谢老师！ Huge thanks to Toshi Sensei! With your guidance, I passed the JLPT N2 exam in a single attempt! Achieving this after 150 hours of learning makes me incredibly proud and grateful. Toshi sensei’s patient teaching and expertise helped me grasp intricate grammar and vocabulary. The extensive practice and mock exams were a tremendous aid in my preparation. Thank you once again!

Toshi 先生 was a great help in my last spurt of JLPT N3 studies. Going through past year questions, he explained in great detail of the concept or words i was still confused with. We also focused on areas i am weak at, like 敬語. A few more days to the exam and i feel more confident and ready than before, thanks to Toshi 先生. Would definitely learn under his guidance again if i were to take N2 in the future.

I wanted took 5 Lessons + 1 Trial Lesson with Toshi. I wanted to write a proper review after some time learning together. I really enjoy learning with Toshi as he fit the teaching on my learning goals and needs. As I had previously acquired knowledge of Japanese, he managed to identify quickly where my level is at and continue from there with the proper materials that I started with. He followed my wish to review previous material within one lesson and from the 2nd lesson onwards we started with new material. Within the lesson, we spoke only Japanese, which I am personally used to and appreciate. Careful if you do not wish to learn completely in Japanese. Toshi absolutely speaks on a level which I can understand well, but does not refrain from challenging my boundaries to expand my knowledge. The grammar is always well explained, gives examples and asks me to come up with examples by myself. Then moving into exercises to practice. I definitely would recommend lessons with Toshi.

Learning with Toshi-sensei is a wonderful experience. He is well versed in many languages, including my native language which makes it easier for me to understand and relate Japanese to my native language in a variety of situations. His lesson is broad, casual, and exciting. Always makes me want to attend more of his lesson.
