I value creating lessons tailored to each student. Everyone has different goals and learning speeds, so I carefully listen to your needs and provide a plan that suits you best. I don’t hold special teaching certificates, but I have many years of tutoring experience in Japan, where I was a popular teacher among students. My lessons are mainly conversation-based! I make sure you have plenty of time to think and speak for yourself, so your conversation skills will grow naturally. I also focus on building a bright and relaxed atmosphere, where you feel safe to make mistakes and keep trying. My goal is to learn with you, not just teach you.

    Japanese private lesson

    本当にありがとー❣️🙇🏼‍♀️ It’s been 8 months of taking lessons with mostly Teppei sensei. I’m writing another review because I recently tried lessons with some new senseis and I heard several times that I sound like I’ve been practicing Japanese for much longer! I have to thank Teppei for this because he always keeps things fun and engaging while teaching you the most natural way of saying something. Trust, you’ll never regret a lesson with Teppei sensei!😊👍.

    本当ありがとうございました!今日のレッスンはとても楽しかったです! I am learning and revising so much. It makes such a difference to my confidence. I really enjoy learning to talk about areas that are specific to my life, rather than general topics in a textbook.

    I had a great trial lesson with Hiroさん! He encouraged me to speak in Japanese when I could. This was the first time I felt like I had a conversation in spoken Japanese. I’m looking forward to our next lesson!

    Japanese private lesson

    🌸Very sweet and patient🌸. I had an older addition of Genki and Rie 先生 was patient with me while we matched up pages. She spoke Japanese most of the time (which I loved 🇯🇵 ) and would explain things i couldn’t say or understand in English. This was my first lesson with her, but I am so happy with how the class went thus far. Definitely plan to continue our lessons ✨! I see myself improving under her guidance ☺️🫡!

    Japanese private lesson

    Naru-sensei was very easy and fun to talk to! She was patient and encouraging when I was trying to think of words and grammar. I really like that she keeps a google doc of what I say with corrections. I think my Japanese skills will definitely improve with her guidance.
