About Me
italki teacher since Aug 17, 2025InterestsArtTravelHistoryPets & AnimalsWriting
Hello! I am a self-employed Japanese teacher and website operator.
I previously worked for 4 years at Japanese companies (bank and construction).
Now, I support learners with over 1,000 hours of teaching experience!
🔸Features of My Lessons
I focus on the following two points:
① Speaking-focused (practical conversation)
I prioritize actual speaking, not just grammar explanation.
Because grammar can be learned alone, but conversation requires a partner.
Key points:
👉 I speak slowly based on your level
👉 English is OK at first
👉 Mistakes are welcome
Even beginners can build speaking skills with confidence!
② Learn Kanji with “Core Images”
About 2,136 kanji are needed for reading Japanese.
Memorizing alone is inefficient, so guidance is essential.
Key points:
👉 Learn core meanings of kanji
👉 Fun, puzzle-like learning
👉 Boost vocabulary efficiently
Perfect for learners who struggle with kanji!

Sho is consistently supportive, available, and encouraging. Thanks to his guidance, my Japanese is improving quickly. Of course, progress depends on your own effort, but a teacher like this makes all the difference. You can’t replace a good teacher.
ありがとうございます!

Sho先生 is a very kind a patient teacher. He make sure that you are able to understand and explains things very slow which is incredibly helpful for a beginner. I will definitely continue to learn more from him. (:

It was my first lesson, but I already got a very good impression. Teacher Sho is friendly, calm, and mature, and the class felt very comfortable. I’m looking forward to the next one!

Today, I had my first lesson with Sho. It was absolutely fantastic. He is very patient and listen to you carefully. He talks in the right speed so you do not miss anything. I am looking forward having another lesson with him.
