★ I have been teaching Japanese professionally for about 5 years. Also, I have some other qualifications including Guide Interpreter, TOEIC 935, EIKEN Grade 1, etc.
★ I have worked for trading & shipping firms for decades, so I have broad business expertise both in JP & EN.
★ I have enjoyed being a globetrotter, visiting over 60 countries. Recently, however, I like travelling in the countryside of Japan to have fun feeling nature and hot springs, Onsen.
★ As I have been involved in some hospitality industries, I think I am a highly sociable person from earlier years.Me as a Teacher
★ In 2020, I started teaching Japanese to foreigners in business fields at a community center here in Tokyo.
★ I passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test 日本語教育能力検定試験 in 2021, and from there officially started my teaching career.
★ I completed a training course for teaching Japanese through the use of English, or the indirect method 間接教授法(英語), held by the World Japanese Language Centre (WJLC) in Australia in 2022.
★ Several months ago, I started studying Chinese (standard Mandarin) 中国標準語 and am truly enjoying the leaning process towards an intermediate level right now. It is great fun for sure!My lessons & teaching style
★ I can teach everything about Japanese, starting from zero in English. I teach with introductory textbooks, while I can also use general-conversation-based textbooks for those who are planning to visit Japan and not so interested in grammar.
★ To improve speaking skills, I would like you to speak as much as you can. Picking from some topics you are familiar with is perfectly fine, although I can send you some modern news events every week, so you can pick one or two and share your opinions with me.
★ I teach 1) business Keigo 敬語, 2) how to write business emails メール, 3) how to read various materials including business news ニュース, 4) JLPT N1 & N2 preparation, and 5) Job interviews 面接.My teaching material

Yoshi's Easy Japanese for Travelling course was excellent preparation for my trip to Japan; it included loads of helpful vocabulary and basic grammar which were relevant for day to day interactions. The tools he provided were also very useful as a reference, which I could refer back to. He also teaches these materials in a fun & easy going manner. Highly recommended for this travelling to Japan soon!

Yoshi sensei’s grammar lesson is very helpful! I thought I understood particles pretty well but, he really goes into detail with examples of when and how to use Japanese particles naturally and correctly. I would definitely recommend him as a teacher to anyone interested in Japanese, and would recommend this lesson for anyone who wants to better understand particles. Looking forward to the next lesson! ありがとうございます

今日は尊敬語と謙譲語について学びました。市販(しはん)の日本語の文法書では、尊敬語の作り方の一つとして「れる・られる」が紹介されていますが、今回のレッスンで、この形はあまり使われないということに気づきました。
また、「ご確認しました」よりも「確認いたしました」のほうが自然な表現だということも学べて、本当に勉強になりました。先生、次のレッスンもよろしくお願いいたします!

The lesson was well organized and seemed very well planned! All my questions were answered, and he was interested and enthusiastic to tailor future lessons to my goals. I'm excited for future lessons!

Another fun and useful lesson! Currently, I am taking two sessions a week and would do more if my schedule allowed for it. Despite my numerous mistakes, Yoshi is makes things clear, and we have some laughs along the way. This truly has become my favorite hobby.
