About Me

Hi, I’m Taka! Born and raised in Japan, I have 26 years of work experience in the Japanese media industry and hold a bachelor’s and master’s degree in mechanical engineering.
I help students master not just the language but also its cultural and business contexts. Whether you’re learning daily conversation or business Japanese, I tailor lessons to your goals!
I’ve traveled to over 30 countries - China, the U.S., Australia, England, Vietnam, France, Spain - the list goes on forever! This experience helps me connect with students from diverse backgrounds and understand the challenges of learning a new language :)
If you’re looking for an experienced and engaging tutor, I’d love to help!Me as a Teacher
I offer five types of lessons tailored to your needs. Most lessons include personalized correction notes and advice to help you sound more like a native Japanese.
For grammar lessons, I use Minna no Nihongo and Genki, but I can accommodate other textbooks upon request. No textbook? No problem! I've prepared over 50 PowerPoint tutoring slides to support your learning from day one.My lessons & teaching style
How I Teach
- You will speak more than me while I listen and take notes - creating your own sentences is key to mastering Japanese ^ ^
- I will primarily use Japanese in class but can use English when necessary.
- My lessons are for learners 15 years and older.
- I provide guidance on the most efficient ways to learn Japanese, based on my own experience learning English online through self-study since 2016 (CEFR C1, Eiken Grade 1).

I have been taking classes with Taka-san for close to 6 months and have been enjoying it.
My classes with Taka-san have included free talk sessions, reading news articles and classes on using Keigo.
Taka-san is very methodical and has his own teaching materials on Keigo, which has been helpful in guiding lessons. I also appreciate that he shares his screen and types out the conversation, explaining whether a sentence structure / grammar would work or not. He also takes time and care to prepare post-lesson review and feedback on improvements / areas for improvement which I file post-lessons as a reminder for my continuous studies.

Thank you, Taka Sensei, for another great lesson. I am taking the 敬語 lesson package with Take Sensei and I am now learning 謙譲語. As always, Taka Sensei is professional and encouraging. Before moving on to the new material at each lesson, we started with a little review which I think is very helpful, especially on weeks that I did't have much time to study. At the beginning of a lesson, we warmed up with some 会話、I appreciate Taka Sensei correcting my spoken sentences, helping me to improve my conversational skill. My goal is to be able to speak correctly and naturally, and I am thankful I found the right teacher who would go to the details of it. I look forward to advancing my Japanese with Taka Sensei. いつも、ありがとうございます。

Takasensei has really good lesson materials and he is clearly very experienced. It is very pleasant taking classes with his slides and google docs. This makes it very easy to repeat everything that was learned, and also to prepare for the next class.
