こんにちは！ I'm Kaito, a passionate Japanese language instructor originally from Tokyo with over 5 years of teaching experience and more than 400 students worldwide. My journey as an educator has taken me across borders - from professional language teacher training in Sydney to college years in California where I balanced academics with surfing. Currently, I'm living my dream of exploring all 47 Japanese prefectures in my self-built camper van while continuing to teach online. This unique lifestyle allows me to share authentic cultural insights alongside language instruction. I've developed a original teaching approach called the '2-Sentence Structure Method' focusing on building practical use.Me as a Teacher

Kaito is a fantastic Japanese Teacher! He has been very patient in helping me refine my Japanese pronunciation and ability to speak the language. For someone like me, who has good comprehension with the language, but struggles to speak, he does a fantastic job at explaining both higher level, and equally important, simpler concepts. I always leave class having learned something new, and with an actionable plan on how to improve with appropriately portioned homework. I really look forward to taking many more lessons with Kaito sensei, and highly recommend him as a Japanese teacher to Japanese learners of all levels!

Kaito was amazing as always. He does a great job at naturally steering the conversation and finding unique was to explain grammar points and unknown words without resorting to English at first. He also did a great job of creating a graphic on the go to explain a grammar point!

I had a great trial lesson with Kaito-sensei. He’s energetic, attentive, and creative. We talked about travel, and he shared his inspiring experience of visiting all 47 prefectures of Japan in a van.
He asked questions about my background and goals, and introduced me to learning methods and exams I hadn’t heard of before. I'm looking forward the next lesson!
