About Me
italki teacher since Apr 21, 2020Interest topicHistoryTravelSports & Fitness
Hello everyone. I'm Tom from Japan. I'm a Japanese native speaker and I would like to help you improve your Japanese. I look forward to meeting new students and speaking Japanese together in a relaxed way.
Feel free to watch my YouTube channel "nihongo Tom":

My interests :
Studying Japanese history, visiting shrines and temples (collecting stamps in Goshuincho booklets), travel, running, playing guitar (flamenco guitar!), learning English, relaxing in a cafe, etc.Me as a Teacher
Prior to my teaching career, I have more than 15 year working experience in IT and educational institutions. I also have a managerial experience in business, so I can share how to use Business Japanese in various situations with you. I have taught students from different countries for more than 2,500 lessons on italki as well as provided one-on-one lessons for business persons working in Japan. I ask students to try your Japanese as much as possible to check what you can do and can't. If necessary, I will explain meanings or grammar points in English.

For many learners, I believe that time they have with the tutor for lessons is limited. I hope that you will monitor what you were able to do and what you were not able to do from lessons, then apply that to your learning outside of your lessons. As an instructor, I not only teach, but also want to be a coach to help you reach your goal as quickly as possible. Don't be afraid of making mistakes. It's part of learning. Let's enjoy the process!!

I have done 10 of Tom先生's NHK reading sessions and would highly recommend them to people looking to break into reading original material and deepening their knowledge of Japanese culture. Tom is patient, knowledgeable and has excellent English if needed.
