Hi! I’m Kosuke, a Japanese business pro (16yrs) turned teacher.
Having mastered English from scratch at 30, I deeply understand adult language struggles.
Raising bilingual kids in Australia lets me teach *real-world Japanese* beyond textbooks.
While I geek out on history hikes and subcultures, I’ll tailor lessons to **your** goals –
whether it’s job interviews, daily chats, or nailing those tricky grammar nuances!Me as a Teacher

Kosuke Sensei is great! We just started Genki 2. He is patient with me when I need help understanding a lesson and is great at explaining each of the lessons in Genki 1 and 2.
He does a great Job of coming up with questions in addition to the Genki textbook to help further study each of the concepts.
I have been studying with him once a week for about six months. He has been exactly on time and fully present for all of those lessons. He has also been really great about figuring out when I need additional time with a lesson before moving on to the next one.
I highly recommend Kosuke sensei.

I've been studying Japanese intensively with Kosuke-san for the past four months, and I couldn't be happier with the progress I've made. Under his guidance, I successfully completed Genki 1, a milestone I'm incredibly proud of. Kosuke-san is an exceptional teacher whose expertise and dedication have been instrumental in my language journey. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to learn Japanese.

Thank you Kosuke-San for another great lesson. I've first used Kosuke-Sensei to get up to speed to prepare for a trip to Japan - I had some very (very) basic Japanese knowledge but wanted to expand and get a crash course to be able to communicate at basic level with people (ask for directions, read menus, have some very basic conversations with locals, etc). This was BRILLIANT - Kosuke-San really helped me further my Japanese knowledge by adapting to what I already knew, giving me concrete examples, doing some role play with me and explaining a TON of grammar/cultural points along the way. Trip went extremely well thanks to his inputs and I was able to not only communicate with locals, but also get out of the traditional touristy pathways to explore places frequented by locals only, and thus have a quite authentic experience. Thank you Sensei! I am now continuing classes with Kosuke-San in a more structure way, and again, he is very good at adapting to what I know to help me progress.
