Hi everyone, I'm Tatsuki. I'm 30 and live in Italy. I love learning languages. Now I'm studying English, Italian, and Danish. My hobbies are traveling, watching movies, reading books, and playing/watching soccer. Soccer has always been my passion. I'm well experienced in teaching Japanese. As you can see, I have had over 9000 lessons here on Italki and taught over 500 students. I learned how to teach Japanese to foreigners at my university and became a professional Japanese teacher after I passed an exam in 2019. But I didn't stop there, and I have been improving as a teacher. I'm a friendly and kind person and really like teaching languages. If you are a beginner and do not understand Japanese, don't worry. I have been studying English for a long time and can explain it in English. I organize my lessons based on what you want to learn. If you want to practice conversation, we'll have a conversation and I'll correct you when you make mistakes. If you want to concentrate on learning grammar, we will use a textbook and cover each chapter. We can also practice reading. We'll read an online article in a lesson (or I can send it to you beforehand) and cover new grammar and words. After every lesson, if you request, I'll send you homework based on your needs or a summary of the lesson so that you can review what you learned during the lesson.

I've been taking lessons with Tatsuki for over two years at this point I think. I've tried lessons with other teachers on italki, and while they were friendly and competent, Tatsuki is by far the best. From the very beginning, Tatsuki made me feel completely comfortable; he's friendly, genuine, interesting, and funny. Additionally, he has always been able to identify my weaknesses as a Japanese learner and tailor our lessons around those. I'm sure he has many students, yet he can recall specific areas where I frequently make mistakes. To be honest, I deeply appreciate the time I've gotten to spend with Tatsuki and consider him to be my friend at this point. As my journey to learn Japanese has progressed, our conversations have become more natural and we often talk about movies, culture, anime, or whatever else we feel like talking about that day. Tatsuki is probably the best teacher I've had, period. Take lessons with him, you won't regret it.

Tatsuki-sensei è un insegnante fantastico e sono molto soddisfatta del percorso che stiamo svolgendo insieme. Con lui mi sono trovata bene dall’inizio, ma ho deciso di scrivere la mia recensione dopo 16 lezioni insieme per potere condividere maggiori elementi. Tatsuki è molto professionale, paziente ed efficace nel suo stile di insegnamento. Le lezioni sono personalizzate e strutturate, con una sequenza negli argomenti che mi sta aiutando a progredire costantemente. Le spiegazioni sono chiare e avvengono in un’atmosfera rilassata, combinazione ideale per apprendere al meglio. Le mie domande sono benvenute, cosa per me fondamentale per capire a fondo un argomento. Tatsuki conosce molto bene l’italiano. Questa conoscenza profonda, combinata con le sue abilità di insegnante, fa emergere le sinergie esistenti tra il giapponese l’italiano, cosa sulla quale non è possibile far leva nello studio intermediato dall’inglese. Sono molto felice di continuare il mio percorso con Tatsuki-sensei!

たつき先生 is excellent. I have been taking lessons with Tatsuki consistently for six months. He is diligent and thoughtful in the way he prepares his lessons and reviews important vocabulary and grammar. I began lessons with a basic understanding of the kana, a baseline of vocabulary and set-phrases, and a grasp of simple, polite-form grammar. Tatsuki has patiently helped to correct misunderstandings in my self-study and guide through more advanced forms of grammar. Tatsuki patiently answers questions about vocabulary and grammar that I encounter in my self study, engages in level-appropriate practice conversation, while preparing comprehensive, classroom-style instruction during our lessons. As a native speaker, Tatsuki teaches practical language skills that go an extra level of depth and nuance beyond the text book. I would strongly recommend Tatsuki to serious learners of Japanese looking for an experienced and dedicated teacher. ガンバて!たつき先生、ありがとうございます!
