Would you like to learn FLUENT JAPANESE from "1 of Top 1% JAPANESE teachers of italki in 2022" ? DO YOU WANT TO BE A FLUENT JAPANESE SPEAKER? Grammar lessons with "NO text books!" Many pictures and examples are used to make you think and make sentences in Japanese! You will get a bunch of opportunities to speak and listen to Japanese, and that makes you become a NATURAL JAPANESE SPEAKER! You will learn Japanese language, Japanese way of thinking and culture in my lessons :) I believe if you only master Japanese language but you don't understand its culture and people, it doesn't mean anything. The most fun part of learning language is to understand different culture and people. For you, the happiest moment would be sharing laughter with Japanese people by using your own Japanese!

Speak Japanese Confidently through Real Conversation. Born and raised in Japan, I have gathered diverse experiences in international settings that have shaped my open-minded and flexible approach to communication. This background allows me to appreciate both the uniqueness of Japanese culture and the richness found beyond traditional boundaries. As a tutor, I focus on meaningful communication rather than perfection. I aim to help you use Japanese in real-life situations, encouraging natural expression and confidence through genuine conversations. My lessons are designed for learners who want to deepen their connection with the language and explore ideas in a relaxed and supportive environment.

Yoshi Shimizu
Native Japanese, fluent in English. Great communication skills and international cultural knowledge. I first got involved in teaching Japanese as a conversation tutor when I was at the university in San Francisco, USA. Since then, I love working with people from different cultural backgrounds. This is also one of the reasons why I became a documentary photographer. I have visited over 90 countries to document different cultures and people. For the joy of teaching, I have also taught photography at workshops. Teaching requires a great deal of patience and communication artistry which also apply to become a good photographer as well. In general, it is truly rewarding to see my students succeed in learning skills.

People who are honest and review on their mistakes improve quickly. I will do my best to improve your Japanese,depending on your speaking speed ! So,don't be nervous and Let's level up !😉 When I was a college student, I was working part-time at a wedding hall. After that,I worked for a wholesaler company for several years. Therefore, I can teach various expressions such as customer service, telephone support, and polite language. Let's speak politely or casually, whichever you prefer to practice! As you can see in the reviews, I can listen to your Japanese to the best of my ability and teach you natural Japanese. More than anything, I think it is important to talk while having fun.😊 For beginners, Let's "get used to it rather than learn"🤩
