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.
好奇心旺盛で、旅行や多彩な仕事を通して豊かな経験を積んできました。プロの講師として、楽しい教材と会話であなたの日本語学習を応援します。
語学はマラソンのような長い道のりですが、一人で走る必要はありません。あなたのペースに寄り添う“学びのパートナー”として、ずっと一緒に歩んでいきたいと思っています🌸

I get so much practice and learning during every lesson. Even afterwards, thanks to the advice I get, I always have something to focus on between classes. I appreciate the effort it takes to not only point out my errors, but to create a lesson around them, then practice all the different ways that grammar is used

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

Today was somehow difficult for me, and at the beginning of the lesson I completely overthought everything. I kept having one blank after another. However, けいすけ 先生 handled it wonderfully, helped me calm down, and guided me through it until the knot in my head was untangled. Thanks to his support, the lesson turned into a really good and helpful experience.

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!
