Hi! My name is Takahiro. I’m from Saitama prefecture near Tokyo. Now I’m living in Japan and teaching Japanese at Japanese Language school in Tokyo. My hobby are reading books and sports(Kick Boxing and Basketball), drawing, etc… I’m looking forward to see you!Me as a Teacher
I have been teaching Japanese for about 7 years. First, I taught Japanese in Egypt at two universities and the Japanese Cultural Center(Japan Foundation Cairo office). Now I am teaching Japanese for students who want to proceed to the next level of education in Tokyo. However, because I want to teach the Japanese language to students from different countries, I decided to become a teacher at italki. My lessons & teaching style
I can teach anything from beginner to advanced, including conversation, grammar, reading and listening comprehension. Of course, I can teach you how to prepare for JLPT and EJU exams. My teaching style is to teach interactively anyway.My teaching material

Work Experience

The class homeroom teacherI have learned the basics of teaching Japanese in Egypt, but it was a very rewarding experience for me to take exam preparation classes and deal with students of various nationalities in my current workplace.
2016 - 2018
Japanese Language TeacherI was engaged in work to establish a new Japanese Language Department at this university. There were difficult situations such as lack of necessary tools and classrooms, but this experience improved my teaching skills.
2015 - 2018
Japanese Language TeacherThere were students of all professions, from young people to seniors, so I think it was a very diverse environment.
2014 - 2018

I had a fantastic trial lesson with Murakami-san. From the beginning, he created a friendly and comfortable atmosphere. He was encouraging and provided useful feedback in English and Arabic, which are useful references for improving my Japanese. He was super helpful, giving great feedback in English and Arabic—really useful for better memorization of words. I immediately booked more classes after the trial.

The last half a year with Murakami-san was super enjoyable, I recommend his lessons to everyone. : )
The lessons are characterised by variety, great sense of humour, attention to details and cultural tidbits. Whatever your needs are - be it grammar, listening or simply conversation, Murakami-san is your guy.
I was very lucky to find him as a first teacher, can't wait to continue in 2022!

Takahiro is amazing! I love the way he teaches by just diving into constructing sentences. I tend to feel too overwhelmed learning languages by just studying a book, so I really appreciate having his teaching style of using pictures to illustrate sentence structure and repetition of speaking. I don't like the way I sound when I try to speak Japanese, but he is so nice I don't have to feel too bad about it.

Murakami Sensei is an excellent teacher - very patient, great to talk to, and puts in a lot of extra work outside of lessons as well. I am confident that, through his teaching, I was able to pass the JLPT N3 this year, and will continue working with him as I move toward the N2 level and eventual fluency

I really enjoyed my lesson with Takahiro! He dove right into having me speak Japanese sentences, which was fun and interesting. I look forward to taking more lessons with him!
