Absolute beginners are WELCOME ! Certified Japanese teacher with Over 2,000 online Lesson Hi I'm Ryota. I was born in Japan and grew up in Osaka then move to Tokyo when I graduated university. Recently I have changed my career to be a Japanese teacher from working at Japanese company as a sales & marketing for 10 years. I used to live in Netherlands ,Singapore and Malaysia and met many people interested in Japan. That is the reason why I became a Japanese teacher !! I'm certified Japanese teacher and I have been teaching Japanese since 2009 on italki. I always enjoy teaching and seeing my students improve their Japanese. I am a teacher but I have been studying English and Spanish so I fully understand the difficulty to learn other languages. As I have lived in Tokyo for about 10 years I speak standard Japanese other than Kansai dialect ( 関西弁). I also speak English and Spanish other than Japanese. So don't worry if you have trouble understanding Japanese I can also explain in English as well. ★ Lesson concept ★ - Our goal is not just to increase your grammar knowledge or sentence patterns.

Ryota-Sensei offers concise and clear explanations of Japanese grammar, delivered in a calm and patient manner. He was very helpful in identifying a learning approach that suited me, showcasing his strong skills in structure, organization, and analytical thinking. I highly recommend him to anyone eager to enhance their Japanese skills. I'm looking forward to my next lecture with him.

Ryota made a wonderful tutor for my first time using italki! He was very patient with me when I was trying to remember words and kept the flow of a casual conversation which is exactly what I was hoping for! Very nice and very easy to talk with. :)
