Hey there! My name is Yohei. ✨
(My name is pronounced just like when you say “Yo!" and "Hey!” to get someone’s attention! lol)
I lived in San Jose and work at Japanese Class in the local high school.
Before coming here, I used to live in Vancouver, Canada for three years.
I always keep in mind and do my best to give lessons which are not only informative, but are also tons of fun to take part in.
I promise to offer entertaining classes filled with laughter so that learning a new language is as hassle-free of an experience as possible!
I'm really looking forward to studying Japanese with you! 😆

・My lessons focus on daily-conversation skills, so that everything you learn is as useful as possible in everyday-life situations in Japan.
・I don't only use textbooks, but instead try to supplement learning with other interesting materials such as anime, comics, etc., to ensure that each lesson will be much more fun.
My motto is "A class filled with joy and laughter". 😉

Yohei san put a lot of effort on preparing his lesson. As an person who has difficulty of speaking and concentrating, I find his questions motivates me to talk. I am looking forward to having his lesson soon.

Yohei is legit one of the coolest tutors I've had. He's super attentive and our conversations flow super well. He helps me expand my Japanese ability while also giving me time to make mistakes and learn from them. He's patient and funny and gives amazing recommendations for books, movies, and shows.
本当にありがとうございます！
