自分は生徒が緊張せずありのままに言いたいことを言える環境を作ることに努めています。まだ自信がない人も、授業内でたくさん間違えて、授業外で完璧な日本語を見せつけてやりましょう^^ My ultimate goal in my lessons is to provide a safe environment for everyone (LGBT friendly) where you can feel comfortable discussing any topic at your own pace. You are allowed to make mistakes and it is actually more ideal than switching between languages. By repeating this process, your Japanese gets better after every lesson! 初めまして!僕の名前はマサです ^ ^ 僕は話すのが大好きです!たくさん話して、毎回より自然に聞こえる日本語を話せるようになりましょう! I love getting to know new people! In our lessons, we’ll focus on conversational Japanese to help you improve your speaking fluency and build confidence. Let’s speak Japanese together and have fun whilst improving your speaking skills in a relaxed environment! どちらも文法の間違えはありませんが、どちらかが日本人にはとても自然に聞こえます。わかりますか? Do you know which sentences sound very natural to Japanese? The nearest station from here is XXX. →ここから1番目の駅はXXXです →ここから1番近い駅はXXXです My Japanese has got rusty. → 日本語がさびついてしまった → 日本語がなまってしまった I learn Japanese every weekend. → 週末はいつも日本語を勉強している → 毎週末日本語を勉強している Lesson in JAPANESE or ENGLISH ONLY まずは自己紹介を兼ねて、あなたの日本語のレベルを確認します。 日本語レベル確認後、一緒に学習していく上での目標を設定します。 僕のレッスンでは、100%日本語のみを目指して、会話/スピーキングの練習をします。 ネイティブの日本人と実践式の話す練習をしたいという人には最適です! In the trail lesson, I will assess your Japanese level, including your self-introduction. After that, we will set your learning goals together. I encourage both of us to speak only in Japanese, as this will improve your conversational skills.

It’s been my third lesson with Masa-san and I really feel I found one of the best tutor ever! He is extremely friendly, kind and especially careful in detecting mistakes and giving advices. He manages to keep to conversation alive without making it heavy, time flies during our conversations! I highly recommend his lessons!

Masa is incredibly patient, kind, and creates well thought out lesson plans for each session. I really appreciate all of the useful examples, and practical applications during them. Masa makes learning Japanese approachable and I love our sessions together!

Masa is genuinely enjoyable to work with. They just want you to talk even if you're not great at grammar and structure. Conversation is enjoyable. This tutor uses immersion and if you don't know a word, they'll use simpler Japanese to help describe it. You won't feel pressured to speak perfectly. Just speak and have fun.

masa san is very easy to talk to and very proactive! he quickly adapted to what i needed from tutoring and worked with me to come up with personalized ideas for future lessons very quickly, even though my situation is (probably) different from the norm. he engages you in a way that made it much easier for the japanese to flow on my end, so i left feeling a lot more confident in my potential to speak in the future than i have w other tutors or conversation partners. very highly recommended!

First lesson with Masa - time went very quick and I felt comfortable conversing with him in Japanese and English when needed.
