Hi! I’m Ryu from Japan and I am a native speaker of Japanese. I also speak English and Filipino fluently. I have lived in Japan, the Philippines, Malaysia, and Hong Kong.
I was a flight attendant and I love traveling, learning different languages, and listening to music. I have been learning Spanish and I love listening to Spanish / Latin American music. Taylor Swift, Fall Out Boy, K-Pop? TWICE.
I love to travel because I want to experience the unknown. It’s amazing how it makes us appreciate the opportunity and experience of a lifetime, while learning and having fun at the same time.

Attentive, fun, supportive. As a tutor, I want to be as flexible as possible to your learning needs. Someone that you can easily approach because you want to practice and be better. I have been learning languages my entire life so I know how it is to be a language learner. I am here for you when you want to learn something new, when you want to practice what you already know, and whenever you just feel like talking in a different language. Consistency is the key!
みなさんの必要に応じた会話・フリートークのレッスンを目指したいです。質問があったり、聞き取れないことがあったら躊躇なく言ってください。「なんとなく分かったからいいや」で終わらないレッスンを提供することができれば幸いです。少しづつでも毎日コツコツと頑張ることが肝心です。一緒に頑張りましょう！ My lessons & teaching style
Flexible. It will be mostly my lessons will be mainly conversations. We can talk about anything under the sun. If you want to talk about a news article, your new favorite song lyrics, your favorite travel, what’s on your mind? No problem.
If needed, I can correct awkward sentences or wording, and suggest you a better way to say it or express it.
For beginners, we can start with the basics. A lot of basics and practices. The basics are very important and practice makes perfect. Please do not hesitate to mention if you have any request.
レッスンは基本、会話・フリートークです。
トピックはなんでも大丈夫です。今日の出来事、旅行の思い出、新しいお気に入りの歌の歌詞、近所の話、話せる事たくさんありますよね。初心者の方は一緒に基礎をたくさん繰り返し練習しましょう。練習あるのみです。

Ryu is a great teacher, I highly recommend him! He’s patient, and puts everything into context which makes it a lot easier to understand. And he teaches both the formal and informal version of vocabulary. I will continue taking classes with him!

Taking lessons with Ryu has been an amazing way to practice my Japanese. He's a natural conversation partner, and is always actively listening. He politely corrects my Japanese, and his excellent English skills are super helpful for bridging the gap in understanding. Highly recommend you check him out!
