About Me
italki teacher since Aug 2, 2025InterestsGamingMusicFoodAnimation & ComicsFilms & TV Series
Hello! I’m Masa.
Living in different countries connected me with people from around the world and opened my heart to cultures and perspectives I never imagined.
As someone still learning English, I understand how it feels when you have something to say, but the words just won’t come out or when you’re too afraid of making mistakes to speak.
That’s why my lessons are a safe space where mistakes are welcome, and you’ll often hear me say “Daijoubu!”
You don’t need to feel nervous.
We’ll take it step by step, at your pace, in your way.
Let’s have fun and grow your Japanese!
By the end of the lesson, you’ll feel more relaxed, more confident, and a step closer to speaking natural Japanese.Me as a Teacher
Whether you’re a complete beginner or someone who simply wants to enjoy more conversation, everyone is welcome.
I explain things clearly and patiently, and I focus on teaching practical Japanese you can use in daily life.
Since I can also support you in English, you can feel comfortable and relaxed during the lessons.
Thanks to the support of my students, I also received italki’s Excellence Award.
I truly support your learning journey, and I hope learning Japanese opens up your world even more.
初心者の方も、たくさん会話を楽しみたい方も、大歓迎です。
丁寧でわかりやすく、日常で本当に使える日本語表現をお伝えします。
英語でのサポートも可能なので、初めての方でも安心してレッスンを受けていただけます。
生徒のみなさんの支えのおかげで、italkiのExcellence Awardもいただきました。
日本語を学ぶことで、あなたの世界がもっと広がるように。
その挑戦を、心から応援しています My lessons & teaching style
Here's how my lessons work:
☕️ ともだちトーク | Free Conversation
Relaxed and friendly—like chatting with a friend.
Talk about travel, hobbies, work, or daily life.
📘 テキスト ＆ ☕️ともだちトーク | Textbook & Free Conversation
We use NHK Easy News, Genki, manga, or your own materials.
We learn grammar and vocabulary, then use them in real conversations right away.
⸻
Lessons are flexible: free chat, role-plays, storytelling—whatever helps you learn best.
I can explain in English when necessary, so you don’t have to worry.
✨ Mistakes welcome. Learn Japanese in a simple, natural, and fun way. ✨My teaching material

Always a fun time talking with Masa sensei. I think if I keep building this habit of speaking Japanese frequently then I will get more comfortable with it even if I'm not great yet. Masa makes this a perfect learning environment for that
