私は教えない。I don't teach you. I'm a guide, trainer, and counselor of all the autodidacts. I am no longer a teacher who only teaches. I am a guide, a trainer, and a counselor of all the autodidacts. I try to get the most out of my learners and give them back what they need. Also, I don't think it is enough to just present the learning items. I want to support them in the process of learning as well. It is my greatest pleasure to see the results of our work together. 教えるだけの先生は卒業しました。私は独学者のガイドであり、トレーナーでもあり、カウンセラーでもあります。学習者から最大限引き出し、必要なものを加えて返していくよう心がけています。また、学習項目を提示するだけでは十分だと思いません。覚える過程も含めてサポートしていきたいです。そしてその成果を、双方で確認することを至上の喜びと感じています。

Chill, Casual, Cheers! Hey there! 👋 Welcome to my profile! I’m a native Japanese speaker currently living in Japan after taking an incredible 1.5-year round-the-world journey through South America, Africa, and Asia. 🌱 A little about my journey: Over the past decade, I’ve explored more than just tourist spots. I’ve lived with the Maasai tribe in Kenya, spent 50days living off the land with indigenous people in the Amazon, practiced Vipassana meditation with monks in Southeast Asia, and hiked solo through Patagonia. I’ve also worked in the TV industry and spent years in tech sales at an international company in Tokyo, working alongside colleagues from all over the world. 💬 Why I’m on italki: Now, as a freelancer in Japan, I’m here because I love sharing ideas, connecting through deep conversations, and learning about different cultures. I don’t treat lessons like formal lectures—think of me as your language buddy and storytelling partner! 🎯 Our lessons are great for you if: You want to level up your natural Japanese conversation skills. You enjoy talking about travel, culture, mindfulness, career, or life philosophies. You want a supportive space where we can easily switch to English whenever you get stuck!

The perfect teacher for people who want casual, organized lessons! Hi everyone, I'm Tatsuki. I'm 30 and lived in Italy for 8 years in total. I love learning languages. Now I'm studying English, Italian, and Danish. My hobbies are traveling, watching movies, reading books, and playing/watching soccer. Soccer has always been my passion. I'm well experienced in teaching Japanese. As you can see, I have had over 9000 lessons here on Italki and taught over 500 students. I learned how to teach Japanese to foreigners at my university and became a professional Japanese teacher after I passed an exam in 2019. But I didn't stop there, and I have been improving as a teacher. I'm a friendly and kind person and really like teaching languages. If you are a beginner and do not understand Japanese, don't worry. I have been studying English for a long time and can explain it in English. I organize my lessons based on what you want to learn. If you want to practice conversation, we'll have a conversation and I'll correct you when you make mistakes. If you want to concentrate on learning grammar, we will use a textbook and cover each chapter. We can also practice reading. We'll read an online article in a lesson (or I can send it to you beforehand) and cover new grammar and words. After every lesson, if you request, I'll send you homework based on your needs or a summary of the lesson so that you can review what you learned during the lesson.
