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! I'm confident that I can help you achieve your goals. I offer professionally structured lessons based on my original learning methods. One of the most important methods I will share is the Sentence Pattern Method.The Sentence Pattern Method is the sentence template that contains constants and variables. This is similar to the mathematical formula. Also, I will tell you how to utilize “the Read-aloud Method” to print sentence patterns in your memory and to open the door to boosting your Japanese communication skills. I teach a range of students from teens to seniors. Beginners to advanced welcome! I believe that my methods( the Sentence Pattern Method and the Read-aloud Method) are quite useful in making your language study and practice time more effective and more productive in less time! I look forward to meeting you and helping you with your Japanese la...

I have taken 6 lessons with Noboru先生 at JLPT N3 level and am beginning to see concrete progress in 2 ways: 1/ the method is great for learning new Grammar patterns 2/ it really consolidates what I thought I knew but couldn't really use. Noboru先生 encourages you to make your own sentence patterns while you are practicing so that it becomes much more natural to use the grammar during conversation. Noboru先生 also provides written feedback during the conversation part of the lesson. Great stuff!

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

Noboru-sensei is a fantastic Japanese teacher. His lessons are well prepared and all-ready to go from N5 to N1. I've been learning Japanese with him since N5, and am now on N1. He is amazing, patient and worth learning from. He has also written books and has his own YouTube channel. I highly recommend Noboru-sensei.
