About Me
italki teacher since Jun 26, 2023InterestsSports & FitnessTechBusiness & FinanceTravelHistory
Hello, my name is Shimpei, and I’m a Japanese teacher on italki.
I was born and raised in Japan, and I’m currently based in Kyoto.
I have worked with learners from many different backgrounds,
from complete beginners to business professionals and advanced learners
who want to understand Japanese culture more deeply.
I can provide support in English when necessary.
Here, I’d like to introduce the four courses I offer.
大家好，我叫 Shimpei，是 italki 的日语老师。
我出生并成长于日本，目前住在京都。
我教过来自不同背景的学习者，
从完全的初学者，到商务人士，
以及希望更深入了解日本文化的高级学习者。
在需要的情况下，可以使用中文进行辅助说明。
下面是我提供的四门课程。Me as a Teacher
I offer carefully tailored Japanese lessons for learners who value steady, long-term progress.
Including volunteer activities, I have taught Japanese to hundreds of learners
with different backgrounds and goals.
Some of my students study with me on a regular basis,
which allows me to adjust lessons carefully to each learner’s needs.
I value long-term learning and steady progress rather than memorization.
我为重视长期、稳步进步的学习者提供量身定制的日语课程。
包括志愿教学在内，
我曾为数百名来自不同背景、拥有不同学习目标的学习者教授日语。
有些学生会长期、定期地跟我学习，
这让我能够根据每位学习者的需求，细心地调整课程内容。
我重视长期学习和稳步进步，
而不是单纯的死记硬背。 My lessons & teaching style

A very patient and friendly teacher.
The lessons focus a lot on speaking, with plenty of chances to practice real-life Japanese. Clear explanations and a comfortable learning atmosphere. Highly recommended!

Another excellent lesson! Shimpei-Sensei provides challenging role based conversation drills and practical vocabulary.
I know I can count on each lesson to make great use of our time together.
Excited to continue!

Shimpei Sensei made the daunting task of learning Japanese seem tangible. For our first lesson, he helped me understand some basics that were practical. I am looking forward to continuing my Japanese language learning with him.
