About Me
italki teacher since Jun 14, 2017Interest topicSportsReadingTravel
Hi, I'm Hiro from Tokyo.
I am a Japanese teacher and an enthusiastic language learner. I speak Japanese which is my native language, English fluently, Spanish and now I'm learning Mandarin Chinese.
I believe that learning a new language is one of the best ways to understand the people and the world. And If we try to understand different people and cultures through learning language, I believe our world will be better placed.
Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching Japanese on italki since 2017.
Since then, I have been receiving great feedback from my students. Their feedback has made me more dedicated to teaching Japanese.
Each student has different goals and interests. So my lessons are 100% personalized according to the student's needs and levels. I make a friendly and easy-going atmosphere during our session so that students feel comfortable.
I don't want to be just a teacher but also want to be your best language partner and personal guide to reach your goal!My lessons & teaching style
① Conversational
Practicing conversation is one of the best and fastest ways to reach fluency. The conversation is guided and supported by grammatical explanations. So you don't have to worry even if you haven't had a conversion experience in Japanese. Each lesson is organized, you will be comfortable throughout the entire lesson.
② Many Examples
It is important that you are exposed to vocabulary, phrases, and expressions many times in different contexts. To be exposed to the contexts, I make many example sentences that are related to your real life situations.
③ Motivation first
Motivation is the key to reach fluency.
I keep you motivated by using interesting topics and materials.My teaching material

Another great lesson with Hiro Sensei! We had a great conversation and I was able to make some good sentences. I always feel more motivated after our lessons. I recently switched to 30-minute lessons twice a week instead of 1-hour lessons once a week. It has been working great for me, we can actually have a nice conversation in 30 minutes and cover some grammar and vocabulary, it’s the perfect amount of time. I highly recommend Hiro Sensei’s lessons.

I really enjoyed our lesson. Hiro is a fantastic language teacher that's fun to talk to and very knowledgeable. I appreciate that he prepares a variety of conversation topics and study materials to help me get the most out of each lesson, while also giving me plenty of opportunities to practice speaking without feeling too pressured or nervous about making mistakes. I always feel more motivated to study after talking with him, and as always I'm looking forward to next time!

Very productive lesson as always. Hiro-san is very well prepared and although lessons are casual, I think they are more structured than lessons with other tutors that I have taken before. My lessons are well balanced, usually with conversation and reading practises. Before lessons, Hiro-san will prepare relevant news article for the reading practise. Last part of a lesson is usually a review session where Hiro-san will correct the mistakes I made during the lesson and document those in a Google Document so it’s easy to revisit and study (sometimes I think Hiro-san put in more effort than me although I am the student!). I have definitely improved ever since taking the lessons with Hiro-san. 日本語を教えてくれてありがとうございます！

Always a great lesson with Hiro Sensei! I was tired and sleepy before the lesson but we had a great conversation and I feel more energized now. I was able to make longer sentences this time and I feel more motivated about my progress.
