Certified and experienced teacher. Test Prep for JLPT, General Japanese and more. Hi, I'm Seijiro, a Japanese language teacher from Kumamoto, Japan. I live in Melbourne, Australia and have been teaching Japanese since 2015. My favourite food is Unadon (Eel and rice bowl) and I like anime too. I love meeting people from all over the world and I have a passion for languages and philosophy. POLICY: Rescheduling within 24 hours of our agreed lesson time will not be accepted. Please reschedule before the 24-hour mark to avoid being charged. I've taught many people from diverse backgrounds in both Japan and Australia. I am not only a trained Japanese language teacher, but also studied linguistics and cognitive science at university. With this knowledge, I can help you learn Japanese more efficiently, so you won't find yourself repeating the same material. If you'd like me to write feedback on italki, please feel free to message me. I have another job, so my availability is limited. The dates and times listed are all of my available slots. I appreciate your understanding. I have experience with one-on-one lessons and classes of up to 30 people, and I adapt to each student's needs and learning goals. I often use drawings and pictures during lessons, as visual aids can make a big difference in understanding. I strongly recommend booking a package for regular, more affordable lessons.

I have weekly lessons with Mr Seijiro since Sept 2020 to prepare for the JLPT. Mr Seijiro is an experienced and responsible teacher with very good English. He is strong in grammar teaching, besides explaining the grammar in a clear and systematic way, he would illustrate them with daily examples and make colourful and easy-to-read notes during lessons. Moreover, he corrects my pronunciation (and the intonation as well) whenever I got it wrong, and it’s important in my conversation practice. Mr Seijiro is amiable, helpful and open-minded. He gives constructive comments in preparing the exam. Though I always rush my homework before lessons, I enjoy learning Japanese with Mr Seijiro.

I tried some other teachers on Italki and Seijiro-Sensei was definitely the best! I am excited to continue lessons with him as he is very clear and precise. He will be honest and practice with you and tell you exactly what is important to continue on. He is very prepared and also has worksheets or visual displays to help you too! Thank you so much for the wonderful lesson Sensei!

he agreed to reply in english so i could focus on my own japanese first, and he's easy to talk to so the conversation went pretty smoothly and made the conversation practice pretty fun
