My lessons & teaching style
初めての方は、まずメッセージで今まで何をどこまで、どのように勉強したか。またこれから何を勉強したいのかを教えてください。その後、双方問題なければトライアルを申し込みください。授業は皆さんが学びたいことに合わせて行います。いずれのレッスンでも出来るだけアウトプットが出来るように留意します。会話中心のフリートーク(日常会話から複雑な問題まで)、JLPT対策など文法、進学及び就職のための準備のクラス(書類の書き方から面接練習まで)から始めたいと思います。
The first time student can give me message what and how you've learned and also what you want to learn with me. We have lesson based on your needs. On each lesson, I try to give you output opportunity as much as possible. For the start, I provide you lessons, Conversation class (from daily conversation to controversial issue), Grammar/JLPT class, preparation to job hunting or applying to University ( from how to write application documents to interview practice)

Great experience, so glad I finally decided to try online tutoring out! I'm looking to brush up on my Japanese skills after years of not having an opportunity to use it and this is perfect. Ishibashi is great, the enjoyable conversation makes dusting off my knowledge enjoyable instead of intimidating. Feeling motivated and excited to keep learning!

Ishibashi is a really excellent teacher. I use Japanese for my work and am at the level where I can get by in Japanese, but I still make mistakes and have misunderstandings from time to time. He's really flexible in practicing what I want to practice for my work and daily life, and also good at preparing materials to work on high-level topics like keigo and pronunciation. He noticed and gives great advice on even very small elements of my speech that I want to know about but most people wouldn't think to comment on. I really appreciate his kind and thoughtful teaching style.

Great experience. Easy to understand Ishibashi sensei’s lesson and it was fun and helpful. His voice was clear so could easily understand him and repeat properly. His also prepared a lot of materials to practice. I was finally able to learn Japanese in an interesting and motivating way, and can’t wait to take his next class. Highly recommended
What a great lesson! We talked about a lot and I feel more confident in my skills. I can't wait to finally go to Japan and experience firsthand what I've only seen in photos and movies!
