Hello, I'm Taka!
I was born and grew up in Japan and currently live in Tokyo.
After graduating from a university in Tokyo, I worked for several Japanese companies, mainly in the media industry, for over 25 years.
Thanks to plenty of experiences of business trips nationwide from Hokkaido to Kagoshima, I can tell the differences in dialogue, food, and transportation between cities.
Outside of work, I like traveling, strength training in the gym, and playing poker.
Me as a Teacher
1. I offer three types of lesson, as shown in the menu. I can modify and improve lessons to meet your expectations and requests. Please let me know what in particular and how you want to learn.
2. During and after lessons, I provide personalized corrections and advice to help you improve your skills more rapidly and efficiently. This individualized feedback is a key part of my teaching approach.
3. My lessons go with the textbooks Minna no Nihongo and Genki. If you use textbooks other than these two, please let me know.Even if you don't have textbooks in the initial stages, you can still start your lessons. I've prepared over 50 sets of PowerPoint slides as tutoring materials.

How I teach
-You'll think and speak more than me. Focusing on creating sentences yourself is the most important thing for improving your Japanese skills.
-I usually use Japanese in my classes. I use English according to your request.
-My classes are for learners at 15 years old or older.
-I tell you how to achieve Japanese skills online in the most efficient way. When it comes to learning English, I started online learning in 2016. I passed the first grade of Eigo Kentei(CEFR C1).

Taka was very patient and allowed me to try and create sentences and work on my Japanese skills. He was diligent in providing feedback where needed and new vocabulary where needed.

My first lesson with Taka-san was very good. He explained new grammar concepts to me and provided a lot of guidance, encouraging me to think of examples and use Japanese as much as I could during the lesson. Thank you for your help and patience!

Today was another great lesson! He was very encouraging even as I struggled and provided many slides and examples so I was able to get comfortable with the aspects of Japanese I was practicing. He provides great feedback in a way that keeps me motivated to study harder in the future! I am very glad I found him on iTalki.
