Hello! I'm Keisuke, your guide to Japanese-learning journey😊
I started teaching in 2021 and currently live in Colombia, South America. My unique background—playing guitar in a band, backpacking through 25 countries, and being an italki student myself—has shaped my flexible, empathetic teaching style.
Let’s discover the joy of Japanese together, with curiosity, encouragement, and shared excitement.

Me as a Teacher
I’m naturally curious, shaped by years of traveling and varied job experiences. 😊 As a professional teacher, my goal is to help you learn Japanese through engaging conversations and carefully chosen materials.
Learning a language is like a marathon—but you don’t have to run alone. Think of me as your personal pace partner, cheering you on every step of the way.

Estoy muy contenta con mis clases con Keisuke Sensei. Su método de enseñanza me ha ayudado a avanzar de forma clara y constante, y siento que cada lección se aprovecha al máximo. Gracias a su manera de explicar y estructurar la materia, se me está haciendo más fácil pensar en japonés, hablar con más confianza e integrar lo que vamos aprendiendo.
Además, Keisuke Sensei es muy cordial, paciente y profesional, lo cual hace que las clases sean cómodas y motivadoras. Lo recomiendo totalmente para quienes buscan un profesor serio, organizado y con un enfoque que realmente ayuda a progresar.

Keisuke is the best Japanese language teacher I could ever have. He is incredibly patient, explains things clearly and always gives useful tips to help you improve. Right now, he's helping me with all aspects of the language (grammar, vocabulary, reading, writing conversation even if is not a lower level), and I'm truly happy to have met him. Little by little, I'm gaining more confidence in myself thanks to his guidance. I can't thank him enough because I love the Japanese language and wanted to improve it for my future. ありがとございますケイスケ先生

I’ve been studying with Keisuke-Sensei for two years now through iTalki and Zoom, and he’s been instrumental in my progress. Each time I visit Japan, my in-laws are amazed at how much my Japanese has improved since the last trip. He’s a patient, knowledgeable, and engaging teacher who makes lessons both effective and enjoyable. Highly recommended!

Today we covered a lot in the hour we had together. I got more help on my vocabulary and grammar, and was able to understand the differences and contrasts between different grammar points that will help me make sure that my writing and thoughts are more confident. We also went over a letter I wrote to my friend and getting advice and feedback was super helpful. I feel reassured that my practice has been paying off and I'm looking forward to even more growth as time goes on. Keisuke is an awesome teacher to have on this journey.
