I’ve been studying Japanese with Keisuke-san for quite a while now, and I couldn’t ask for a better teacher. He’s incredibly patient, encouraging, and always creates a relaxed atmosphere where I feel comfortable making mistakes and asking questions. One thing I really appreciate is that our lessons are entirely in Japanese, which has helped my listening and speaking improve much more than I expected. He explains difficult grammar and vocabulary in a way that’s easy to understand, and he adapts each lesson to my interests whether we’re talking about current events, soccer, video games, or everyday life. If you’re serious about improving your Japanese , especially your conversational ability I highly recommend Keisuke-san. He’s been a huge part of my language-learning journey, and I’m grateful for all of his support.

When I came to italki, I had studied Japanese (both in a classroom and on my own), but it had been a long time since I had practiced speaking Japanese. I had a trip to Japan coming up and I was looking for a tutor with similar interests that I could just practice casually speaking with and could help me feel less nervous about speaking Japanese. Keisuke-sensei is exactly what I was looking for. I have fun talking with him about food, games, anime, and movies and our time passes by quickly. And he helps whenever I have trouble. After our lessons, in the feedback, he gives a list of words/phrases that I struggled with, so I can study them for next time. It's a big help. I definitely recommend him!

Another great lesson! I always enjoy our conversations and feel like I’m able to practice speaking about a wide variety of topics in a natural way. The corrections and explanations are always clear and helpful, especially when it comes to making my Japanese sound more natural. I’m continually learning new expressions and noticing areas where I can improve. I always leave the lesson feeling more motivated to keep studying and improving my Japanese. Highly recommended!

Keisuke san has been so far the best experience I’ve had on italki. He was very friendly and reassuring, given the fact that this is the first time I ever spoke to a Japanese person in preparation for my trip. The main thing I want to mention is how much effort he puts in to tailor the lessons to your needs and interests. I mentioned that I liked the anime Spy x Family, and that I was planning a trip to Japan, and before I knew it, I was receiving homework tailor made to my interests: one of them was a quiz about travel vocabulary, and another was an excerpt from the internet about the USJ Spy x Family attraction with questions to test my understanding. Keisuke san has set a new standard for me when it comes to teachers.

Another great conversation lesson with Keisuke sensei. We were able to talk about our weekends, and also other topics - importance of exercise for health, and playing musical instruments. I am looking forward to the next lesson!
