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

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.

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!
很耐心、好沟通的老师，课堂以口语练习为主，实用性强，推荐。
