Hi, I'm Naoto from Japan! 🇯🇵
I'm currently working in Tonga 🇹🇴 in a fully English-speaking environment. I face language barriers every day, just like you! I know exactly how hard and frustrating it is to learn a new language.
But don't worry. I will support you in English!
My goal is to make your learning journey "Fun" and "Effective".
I previously supported exchange students in Japan, helping them with language and culture. Now, using my experience working abroad, I want to be your guide.
Whether you are a beginner just started learning Japanese , I am here for you. Let's overcome the challenge together!Me as a Teacher
Are you afraid of making mistakes? Don't be!
As a Community Tutor, I create a relaxing atmosphere, but I am serious about your progress.
My biggest strength is "English Support" and "Gamification". Since I use English for work daily, I can explain Japanese nuances clearly when you get stuck. You don't have to struggle in silence.
I also believe that "Fun" is the best way to learn. That's why I combine language learning with games like Minecraft. I am patient, friendly, and flexible. I will tailor my teaching style to your personality. Even if you are a slow learner, we can go at your own speed! My lessons & teaching style
Choose your style:
1. 🎮 Minecraft Lesson (Java)
Stop boring study! Let's play & learn natural Japanese while playing Minecraft together!
2. 🗣️ Intensive Conversation
This is NOT just a random chat. We focus on specific topics to build your "speaking muscles" and fix mistakes.
3. 📚 Beginner Course (N4/N5)
We use the "GENKI" textbook to build a solid foundation. I explain grammar clearly in English. We can use your own textbook!
✨ I tailor every lesson to your pace and goals. I can also provide travel tips and cultural advice!
⚠️ Policy: I do not accept cancellations or rescheduling within 24 hours of the lesson. In such cases, the full fee will be charged.5.0

He goes above and beyond to help you learn real spoken Japanese that is also socially appropriate. Couldn't ask for a better teacher!

Super fun first lesson! He’s very patient and really helps you fix grammar and gives you the most natural sounding phrases to use. Will definitely schedule another lesson!

Naoto-sensei seems to be a very kind and enthusiastic teacher, and knows how to encourage people. For a first meeting, I felt very relaxed and enjoyed the convo. He has a very clear voice and his speech is easy to follow, so I think he's a great teacher for those who want to improve their listening skills :) 次回のレッスンも楽しみにしています。ありがとうございました！
