Toru

I have taken lessons with Toru for close to three years now, and have enjoyed every moment. He is a kind and patient instructor, able to match your skill-level and adjust the lesson accordingly and with ease. It is a casual learning environment, but that is not to say you won’t be tested. Take lessons with Toru if you’d like to genuinely improve with a teacher that will cultivate a close relationship with you.

Another great session with Toru. We spoke about lots of interesting topics in Japanese and I was able to practice new grammar I had recently started studying. Toru is an excellent teacher and is always very patient with any mistakes and will always offer helpful ways to say things more naturally. Thank you again for another enjoyable lesson!

Background: I have been casually studying for two years and I have never really spoken Japanese. My Japanese is terrible but trying to improve. Toru was great! He was very casual and even when it took a while to form the sentence in my head he was patient and let me try. Afterwards he would suggest how he would phrase it. If you are a beginner like me looking for a low-stress speaking environment, Toru is great. Highly recommend for everyone.

Really great comversation lesson, easy to chat with. Thanks!

Very good face to face for the first time Took his time and was helping me out a lot. Can’t wait for the next time we have a lesson

Today I had my first lesson with Toru-san. We talked about many interesting topics. I had a lot of fun while learning new words. 😊 Thank you very much! ありがとうございます。🙏
