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 !!

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.

Great lesson! Went over different vocab related to business and the workplace and introduced new grammar structures alongside.

Ryota was very kind and understanding. He corrected me politely when I made an error and encouraged me to verbally practice after noticing I was nervous at first. I’m looking forward to my next lesson!

A little bit of context. I booked my first lesson with a teacher that wasn't fluent in English. My mistake as I am new to the platform. Ryota is fluent in English and a fantastic teacher. A great choice on my second go. Ryota is very patient and he uses teaching aids that were extremely helpful and you can use these tools outside of lessons for free, very useful as homework. I highly recommend Ryota for English speaking students that wish to learn Japanese.

Ryota was very patient and helpful during the lesson, as I'm a complete beginner with Japanese. He also provided great resources to study and a plan of where to start and what I should focus on. Amazing teacher (⁠☆⁠▽⁠☆⁠)
