Lessons with Ryuto are always great. He is nice and easy to talk to and he makes the lessons fun and enjoyable. My Japanese level has significantly improved since taking lessons with him. He always writes down words I struggle with which is very helpful. I highly recommend him to others.

Recently Ryuto tasked me with writing a diary for the week so we could work on my weak grammar points during our lesson. It was seriously fun. All week I had been writing "恥ずかしい!!" (Embarrassing) in my diary, but actually our lesson was the one place I didn't feel embarrassed, go figure hahaha

Ryuto 先生 is super chill and great to talk to, a great teacher for practicing speaking in practical real life conversations! Of course, if you’re interested in games and stuff, he’s very knowledgeable on those subjects as well. People typically learn more when talking about subjects they’re interested in, so that’s a huge plus. Lesson doesn’t ever feel awkward and it’s easy to get comfortable and just practice speaking. If there’s any vocab or expressions you don’t know he’ll send it in the chat during the lesson, which is very helpful. Overall a joy to talk to, we talked about a range of different things, had some genuine laughs, and it was an all around great time! Highly recommend. :)
Ryuto 先生、レッスンありがとう!

I started lessons with 龍人 because we could dive into some nerdy talk together. He’s super friendly, always patient, and makes learning feel natural. Plus, he’s into games, anime, photography, hiking — you name it. So every lesson is not just language practice but also a fun chat with someone full of cool stories. What’s more, he always keeps neat notes during class, which makes it easy to review later and.
Highly recommended if you want a teacher who makes studying feel like hanging out with an interesting friend — while still keeping things organized and effective.

Just had my first lesson with Ryuto Sensei and absolutely had a blast. He wasn't just informative, but he was also very easy going and super nice, This lesson felt like talking to a helpful friend, guiding me while I spoke. Also! Looking forward to snowboarding in Japan! 飲みましょう!
