About Me
italki teacher since May 7, 2020
Hi, my name is Shunpei. I am a Japanese teacher living in Tokyo. I have always been interested in learning language and have experienced the difficulties and joys of language learning. That is why I decided to teach language—to help and share with other learners. When I have time, I listen to pop music and sing karaoke. I also play the piano and the kokyū (a traditional Japanese string instrument). I like going to the movie theater, mainly to see Disney and Marvel movies. Lately, I’ve gotten into flower arranging which helps me relax and be creative. こんにちは、しゅんぺいです。東京に住んでいる日本人です。言葉を学ぶことは大変ですが楽しいですよね。私が言葉を教えたいと思ったのは、学ぶ人を助けたいそして一緒に楽しみたいと思ったからです。音楽を聴いたりカラオケが趣味です。ピアノや胡弓を弾きます。映画館へ行ったり花も好きです。

Shunpei is very professional and always tailors the lessons to suit my level and knowledge. We move at a comfortable but steady pace, covering a mix of vocabulary, grammar explanations, and practical exercises. I’m encouraged to complete tasks independently but receive guidance when needed. The atmosphere is relaxed and supportive, which makes the lessons enjoyable and effective. I’ve learned a lot and always look forward to the next class.

I have been studying Japanese with Shunpei for over 2 years. We use the Genki textbook and each lesson is similarly structured. We spend a few minutes speaking casually, then review vocabulary and grammar from prior chapters, then learn the next grammar concept, and then work through the exercises in Genki to practice the concept. Throughout the lesson he corrects the grammar mistakes and answers clarifying questions. He assigns weekly homework from the Genki workbook which he collects and grades. I appreciate the structure of the classes, particularly how he continually reviews older material so you don't forget, and how there is a big focus on really learning the grammatical concepts. I would highly recommend Shunpei sensei!
