Living in Tokyo, Japan

26 years as a singing & voice teacher, now sharing Japanese songs and language lessons on italki. Hello! My name is Takako, a cheerful and patient Japanese teacher living in Japan. I am also a professional singer and voice instructor, which gives me a unique perspective on teaching with rhythm, clear pronunciation, and confidence. Teaching and connecting with people is my passion. I have also been a student on italki, learning English, French, Portuguese, and more, so I understand how challenging learning a new language can be. In my lessons, we focus on daily conversation, grammar, or even Japanese songs if you like. Your everyday life can be your best learning material! I strive to make lessons relaxing, motivating, and supportive, helping you enjoy learning Japanese naturally. I am a voice and singing teacher with over 26 years of experience, teaching students from many countries, often using Japanese songs to learn the language. I have organized concerts and voice seminars, and some private students have studied with me for over 20 years. As an italki tutor, I create lessons tailored to each student—conversation, grammar, or Japanese through music. I share documents, record audio for homework, and support each student’s goals. Teaching is my passion, and students’ smiles are my greatest motivation. 歌と声の先生として26年以上の経験があります。世界中の生徒に日本語や歌を通して教え、コンサートやセミナーも企画運営しています。プライベートの生徒の中には20年以上学ぶ方もいます。italkiでは、一人ひとりに合わせた会話、文法、日本語学習を提供し、資料の共有や音声宿題でサポートします。生徒の笑顔は、私の最大の励みです。 Please feel free to ask about lesson times and content. I create lessons tailored to each student’s needs. Bas...

「ENG」 This was my 100th lesson with Takako先生.After 100 hours of lessons, there is no other hour of the week I look forward to more than my hour of Japanese with Takako先生. She is talented, brilliant, kind, and genuinely interested to hear from students around the world. Your Japanese will not only improve, it will become more natural as a result of the wide range of topics she can share her opinion and knowledge on. From music to culture, tourism, world travels, singing, she is the best teacher and will become your friend in the process! As always, thank you. 「日本語」 今日のレッスンは僕の百の授業だった。百時間後、毎週この時間は全部の他時間に比べて何でも良いです。Takako先生が頭がいい、親切すぎる、頭がいい、才能あります。全部の生徒の人生本当に興味があるので、色々なトピックを話せるので、あなたたちの日本語はもっと自然になります。 音楽とか歴史とか文化とか旅行するとかTakako先生は、多くのトピックについてあなたに教えることができます。何よりも友達日本語のレッスン中友達になります! いつもありがとうございます。

We had a really fun lesson! We talked about a podcast we had both listened to. Then Sensei encouraged me to think about how I would talk about this topic from the perspective of my own country. I got to try talking about challenging topics such as the history of my country. I appreciate how Sensei is helping me strengthen my listening and speaking skills, and teaching me great expressions and vocabulary words so I can express myself more precisely. Thank you as always!

Taking lessons with Takako Sensei has been a transformative experience. Her classes are filled with such bright energy and radiance that it’s impossible not to feel motivated. Beyond just language learning, she has helped me grow as a person by building my confidence and teaching me how to truly enjoy the art of conversation. I am so grateful for her guidance!
