※Detailded Lessons ※Lessons suitable for your level ※Learning while having fun My name is Norio. I was born in 1951 and raised in Saitama, Japan. In 1995, I took Japanese Language Training Course and I have been teaching Japanese to foreigners of various occupations since then. I really enjoy riding my motorcycle. I have travelled across the American continent by motorcycle alone. Also, I have ridden around some countries in Europe. I do work out at the gym at least 3 times a week.

I’d like to help you improve your Japanese, and stimulate your interest in learning it more. I’ve always strived to help people who visit Japan. And what better way than to teach them Japanese! I’m very patient when I teach. I like to take time when preparing for my lessons. This way I never lack material nor topics in conversations with my students. Lesson type I can offer ranges from individual to small/large group. I endeavor to prepare well for my lessons. I do so by preparing teaching material appropriate to your needs and your current Japanese level. I own lots of course material, and I’m constantly creating new ones. My lesson components range from very basic Japanese (starting from hiragana and katakana and simple kanjis), to the higher and advanced levels (JLPT N2 and N1). Beside grammar an...

He is the best teacher, he tested my japanese for my first class like I asked to, he personalized my classes into doing topics that I need to do the most and he presents materials in which he makes you practice and also explains it if you don't understand something, and finally he later sends you the material to review again.

Norio-san and I met for the first time today and we went over my goals and discussed my Japanese level. We covered a bit of grammar, and he offered corrections for my initial message to him and explained my mistakes. Thank you!

A fun debut lesson! I introduced myself, and we talked about my Japanese learning goals and motivations. I have a persistent issue with overusing stiff, bookish language during a conversation, so I hope to receive tips and advice to help make my register more appropriate to casual interactions. I thank Norio sensei for his patience and willingness to share his experiences throughout his career as a teacher of Japanese.
