Hi, I’m Taka. I’m a native Japanese tutor from Gunma, Japan, currently living in Bali, Indonesia. Many of my students learn Japanese as a hobby, so my lessons focus on relaxed conversation and natural Japanese rather than perfection. In my conversation lessons, we talk freely about what interests you. While we chat, I gently help you organise your thoughts and express your ideas more clearly. No preparation is needed. I enjoy animals, music, anime, coffee, and everyday conversations. I live with one dog, two cats, a hamster, and my Indonesian wife, so animal and cultural topics often come up naturally. I also offer beginner grammar lessons using GENKI (in English) and guided conversation

I really enjoy learning from Taka sensei. I’ve been a student of his for a year and a half now and in that time, I’ve gone to Japan twice, both times as a solo traveler. Because of these lessons, I have been able to carry on basic conversations in Japanese with the locals and with my Japanese friends. I enjoy his classes because he tailors them to my needs and makes them fun by using examples from my favorite anime, hobbies and foods. We focus more on casual conversation because that was my main goal and I am learning how to use grammar more naturally. I also like how sensei has lesson plans for me every week. That definitely helps to motivate me for each lesson. I have improved a lot, and I owe it all to sensei. I hope to be fluent in Japanese someday!

Todays lesson was a little challenging but fun. learnt new vocab and important gramer all in the context of casual conversation. And the recap at the end where Takahiro more or less went through todays topics in condensed form with questions was challenging but also very good practice.

高先生の授業はどのレベルの日本語の学習者にもおすすめです。先生は熱心で、学生を上手くなるように助けたい気持ちを感じます。いつも話しやすい空気を作っています。なお、授業が終わったら詳細的なフィードバックをすぐに送ります。最後は、学生の目的とレベルに合わせて指導方法を調整します。

There is plenty of source material to study. We review and then add new content each time. It helps to refresh the previous week's lessons. He assists with pronunciation and lets you know right away if it's close, but not quite correct. I find that helpful. I find him to be a good teacher.
