Living in Tokyo, Japan

The shift on my main job is fixed on 2 days before. Booking lessons within 2 days is recommended🙇 Hi everyone! My name is Shota, or you can call me Tommy because this is what my last name sounds like. I was born and raised in Japan. I guided over 1,500 international people in my work as a tour guide in Tokyo. I have also started to teach Japanese language in group lessons online since last year. I would like to expand my lessons to meet more new people, so am starting to teach at italki too. I am also a language learner like you, studied abroad in the UK and have been to 20 countries. Indeed I am interested in you and your country, language and culture too! I have business experience in the international sales of automotive-related industry for 5 years, and other 3 years in the tourism industry as a tour guide. I commanded Japanese as a native speaker as well as a business person with broad experience in Japan. Combining all the background as a businessman and a guide in Japan, I would like to teach not only Japanese language but also our culture. Please ask me anything in my lessons. I will be happy to answer and guide you to like Japan and Japanese more. I welcome anyone for example who wants to start from the basic Japanese to even who wants to work on the business Japanese. In my lessons, I would like you to try to talk in Japanese no matter which level you are on. But please do not worry. If you are a beginner, I have the slides so you can start from being familiar with Japanese alphabets. Then we can talk in Japanese about any topics. I can also prepare the slides ...

I've been having classes with Shota-san for a while now and I can say that he's one of the best tutors I've ever encountered here on Italki. As a tutor myself, I know that sometimes it's hard to keep the pace of the conversation but Shota-san has always managed to keep the conversation alive effortless. Plus, he really helps me with new expressions, vocabulary etc. Flawless!

shoota is the best sensei by far. I undertook over 10 lessons with different teachers, and shoota sensei, by far, is the best. He has an easy conversational style. He can explain things in Japanese and English, that you can understand. most teachers are reluctant to speak English, but shoota is so well spoken.
