Me as a Teacher

When I was in college, I volunteered as a language partner for international students and taught Japanese. 大学生の時、留学生のパートナーとしてボランティアで日本語を教えていました。 I worked for a Japanese company for six years, so I can teach business Japanese. 日本の企業で6年間働いていたので、ビジネスの日本語も教えることができます。 With my experience in human resources, I can also support job hunting and interview preparation. 人事の経験を活かして、就職活動や面接準備のサポートもできます。 Of course, I'm good at casual Japanese. もちろん、カジュアルな日本語も得意です。 I'm from Osaka, but I can teach both Kansai dialect and standard Japanese. 大阪人ですが、関西弁と標準語を教えれます。

My lessons & teaching style

In our lessons, we’ll focus on real, natural conversation to improve your vocab, grammar, and pronunciation. The goal is to feel confident speaking Japanese and learn how to express yourself freely in any situation. Forget about boring textbooks—you’ll learn naturally by chatting about things you’re interested in. The lessons are super relaxed, so don’t stress about making mistakes. I’ll guide and correct you gently without breaking the flow of our conversation. If needed, I can explain things in English, but we’ll work towards speaking fully in Japanese as soon as you’re ready. Let’s have fun, learn at your own pace, and improve together!

Naoya is easy to understand, patient, and extraordinarily friendly. I would highly recommend him to anyone who is interested in learning Japanese.

Naoya sensei is one of the very best teachers I’ve met :) I got to work on my rusty Japanese business keigo with him. He’s very patient and genuinely cares for his students. The lessons are easy and free-flowing. Highly recommend for intermediate-fluent language learners. Thanks!
