I love learning with Taka sensei. Each class we review plus add new vocabulary and grammar. The mix of the two helps me to remember. He provides materials, but still allows me time to write the works in both hiragana and romanji. He gives praise on correct pronunciation and is patient when I struggle with grammar. He understands mistakes are part of the learning process. 10/10 recommend!

タカ先生は本当に素敵で、いつも他の人のことを考えてくれる方です。 雑談でも面接の練習でも、先生はいつも的確なアドバイスとサポートをしてくださいます。 何よりも、先生の励ましによって自信を持つことができました。 本当に感謝しています。 ぜひ皆さんもタカ先生とお話ししてみてください！

Taka sensei constantly makes an effort to keep the conversations fun while also being informative. I’d highly recommend to any student.

I really enjoy learning from Taka sensei. I’ve been a student of his for a year and a half now and in that time, I’ve gone to Japan twice, both times as a solo traveler. Because of these lessons, I have been able to carry on basic conversations in Japanese with the locals and with my Japanese friends. I enjoy his classes because he tailors them to my needs and makes them fun by using examples from my favorite anime, hobbies and foods. We focus more on casual conversation because that was my main goal and I am learning how to use grammar more naturally. I also like how sensei has lesson plans for me every week. That definitely helps to motivate me for each lesson. I have improved a lot, and I owe it all to sensei. I hope to be fluent in Japanese someday!

I liked the format in which he held the lesson. It makes it really easy to go back and add the vocabulary we talked about to my anki deck. Thank you!

たか先生 is great at teaching conversational Japanese and Grammar. He can teach you how to speak casual conversational Japanese like a native. Highly recommend!
