Kaixo! 👋 I’m Gorka, a CELTA-certified teacher based in Japan. Over the years, I have helped countless students of all levels achieve their goals. While teaching English is really fun, Basque is especially close to my heart. Helping students get into their dream universities or achieve a test score that leads to a promotion is incredibly rewarding. However, there's something truly special about helping people reconnect with or discover Euskara. Whether you're starting from scratch or are an independent learner looking for practice, I offer tailored lessons with support in various languages to ensure an engaging experience. If that sounds good to you, goazen! (Let's go!) 🔥 As a teacher I'm patient, gentle, and fun... or so I've been told! My lessons are flexible and relaxed. I believe the journey is important, although I understand that you will have your own goals and I will definitely adapt to them. Message me if you can't see a time that's good for you.

The way i work with Gorka is that I prepare a text for us to review together during the class. That way I decide what I am trying to learn and he helps me understand better what mistakes I have made, as well as covering matters which crop during the class. I think it works very well and Gorka is always clear and helpful.

I started with a starter lesson with Gorka. Then I paid for 20 more with him. Draw your own conclusions!

This week's lesson was a lot more complex and we went over a few new grammar rules. I was having a bit of trouble with the nuances, but Gorka was able to explain and guide me though the differences and mistakes I was making.

Great first lesson! Gorka jumped right into the material and stayed over our time so I could have my first conversation in Basque.
