Hi there! I'm Noboru, a Japanese language education specialist and author of JLPT preparation materials. Drawing from my own struggles with foreign language learning, I've developed two unique approaches: the "Sentence Pattern Method" and the "Reading Aloud Technique." These methods help you quickly understand Japanese structure, like mathematical formulas, and develop natural conversational skills. I use these same methods in my materials published on Amazon. My lessons bridge the gap between "textbook Japanese" and "real-world Japanese" to support your language goals. Let's learn together and have fun doing it!

Another great class with Norobu Sensei. Norobu Sensei teaching methods have really been helping me think in Nihongo, which has been helping with my understanding and sentence structure. I have been more comfortable with speaking and coming up with topics on the fly. I can't wait to see how my progression looks at the end of the year if I stay on this path.

Hands down best lesson on italki. Noboru is a regular guy with a full time job and he has taken the time to create his own website and teaching materials/method based on his own experiences. I took a 30 minute trial lesson where he explained the structure of his lessons and the reasons behind why he structures them that way. His method is easy to understand and it makes sense. If you take a lesson with Noboru, you will easily see his passion for teaching and how much he stands behind his material. Looking forward to starting regular lessons with Noboru

Thank you sensei. I completed Noboru-sensei's N4 classes today. Great teacher for Japanese. I really enjoy his classes. I like the structure. The way he teaches will take time and dedication, but you will become more fluent and feel like you are progressing.
