こんにちは！しょうたです。東京で生まれ育ったのできれいな標準語を話します。人とのコミュニケーションが大好きなので、色んなことについて話しましょう！ My name is Shota. I was born and raised in Tokyo and I speak clear standard Japanese. I love learning new cultures and languages, and I'm passionate about teaching Japanese language and culture to others. And I love communicating with people and I'm gentle and easygoing, so I'm looking forward to seeing you in my lessons! In my spare time, I like playing guitar, listening to music, going hiking, playing soccer and tennis, making coffee, watching anime and films, taking street photographs and learning other languages.

Me as a Teacher

I'm a patient and encouraging teacher and I like to make students feel at ease during lessons. This helps my students feel comfortable with speaking Japanese. As I have been taking online English lessons for a long time, I know what teachers should provide for students in online lessons. I will use the chat box while I talk with you and I will correct you if you made mistakes in your Japanese.

My lessons & teaching style

The lessons I offer are casual and conversation based. I want my lessons to help you improve your skills, while having an engaging conversation. Through out our conversations, I will correct you on grammar mistakes to help you talk like a native speaker. My lessons will have a relaxed and open atmosphere. This should encourage my students to feel more at ease and to feel confident to speak Japanese, and to try and attempt new things!

I had my first lesson with Shota and I will definitely be studying with him again! He was very friendly and encouraging which made me comfortable to try even when I was unsure, and corrected and explained my mistakes clearly. I was feeling nervous about online tutoring and I’m so happy with this experience, I couldn’t recommend him more! :)

Thanks for another amazing class！Shotaくん！ This was my forth time to take class with Shota and we went through a lot of topics especially for the Japanese buzzword that could be used in daily conversation amoung the young people. We have lots of interests in common which makes our class more interesting！When it comes to the word that I don’t fully understand, Shota always been very patient and professional to explain the definition of the word. That really helps me a lot! Anyway, If you want to learn the most authentic Japanese, Shota’s class will definitely be a good choice for you!

Shota's lessons are fun and the conversation is free-flowing. He is good at explaining new expressions and vocabulary in a simple and easy-to-understand way. I look forward to each and every lesson.

I had a conversation practice with Shota and it was fun talking with him about various topics. He knows a lot of things so the conversation went smoothly. He was also kind enough to correct my sentences, teach new words, and share useful expressions. Since he also speaks English, you can always clarify things you don't know in English and he'll patiently explain them to you. Definitely one of the best teachers here!
