From Japan

Living in Kyoto, Japan

Hi, I'm Toru. I was born and raised in Kyoto, Japan, and I currently live there. Before returning to Kyoto, I lived in the Philippines. I'm a Japanese teacher at several universities and a company in the Philippines. I like to travel, and I've been to several countries. The places are Taiwan, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Guam, Korea, Thailand, Cambodia, Turkey, China, etc. I also like music, movies, anime, manga, etc. I am very fond of Japanese anime, so I am sure we can have a conversation about them as well. I'm learning English and Filipino. I'm a professional Japanese teacher and a native Japanese speaker. I completed all the requirements of the Japanese Language Teacher Training Course (420 hours). I teach Japanese from 1st year to 4th year university students. I also teach Japanese to employees of a company. So I can teach Japanese at a variety of levels, from beginner to advanced. I know that it's difficult to learn a foreign language, but I will be your teacher, so you can ask me everything about Japanese and also Japanese culture. I am also learning English and Filipino, so I can understand your feelings about learning another language. Since I lived in Kyoto and Osaka, Japan, I can also teach the Kansai dialect. In my lesson, we will do Conversation, Grammar, Listening, Reading comprehension, Preparation for JLPT, etc. Please inform me what you want to do or learn. I will give you feedback. I'm a friendly person, so we would enjoy our lessons.

It's always a blast to talk with Toru Sensei. We talked about interesting misspellings, or using words from other languages. Like the umlauts in Mötley Crüe.

Thank you for today, Toru-sensei! I got to practice a lot of listening and learned about different topics relating to TV culture in Japan. Hope to see you again next time!

It turned into an fun unexpected looks at which kanji use さんずいへん, I only got a couple of them. We also discussed old spellings of numbers specifically for money, that was super interesting. It was to stop money laundering.

My first lesson with Toru sensei was good. He was patient, friendly, and well prepared with PPTs and notes on basic greetings and pronunciation, as I had requested. There was ample drills to consolidate during lesson. Thank you very much!
