Hello, my name is Makoto. I like traveling, I traveled to around 30 different countries. I used to live in New Zealand and Portugal. I lived in a few places such as Hokkaido, Gunma, and Okinawa.
I enjoy reading manga and watching Anime such as Slam Dunk, One piece, Kimetsu no Yaiba, Tensura, Danmachi, and many others. Lately, I am watching Oshi no ko and dead mount death play.
I like sports too, especially tennis, basketball, and Rugby.

Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching Japanese on italki since May 2022. I completed the Japanese Language Teacher Training Course in July. So I can teach you Japanese using different methods.
I studied English in New Zealand and Portuguese in Portugal from scratch and currently studying Spanish so I understand the challenges and joy of learning new languages.
My lessons & teaching style
My course will primarily focus on the following areas:
*Free talk
We can engage in conversations about various topics that interest you. This approach ensures your satisfaction and keeps you motivated throughout the learning process
*Japanese common phrases and grammar
Having completed a Japanese teaching course and gained experience teaching on platforms like italki, I am confident in my ability to employ diverse teaching methods
*Japanese business in the hospitality industries
From my professional experience in hospitality industries, can teach you the common words and phrases used in these fields
I want your Japanese to be improved and at the same time let's make learning Japanese fun!

I had a good time reviewing the information after we finished reading the article along with learning about different types of genres about anime.

I have done a number of lessons with Makoto Sensei and I always find our lessons very fun and interactive. Makoto Sensei is very patient and I always learn new vocabulary during our dialogue practice. I also enjoy the materials he sends for preparation before class.

I have had about 20 lessons with Makoto now and really feeling like I'm making good progress. Makoto has an unmatched ability to keep an conversation interesting, flowing and going at a level which is bordering on my abilities. This makes is both challenging and motivating as I get to both learn and use new grammar, vocabulary and speech patterns. Highly recommended!

This was my first trial lesson with iTalki. In our first encounter I could tell that Murohashi sensei was very easy to talk to. He was very attentive and wanted to know my needs as a student. I look forward to working with him in the near future.

Great lesson as always! Today we revised on some grammar points and practiced using them in speech.
Thank you!
