Tom

Tom is a teacher. He is fully bilingual so he is able to interpret the more difficult nuances of Japanese with ease. That is very helpful for advanced learners. Many advanced grammar patterns look the exact same to me. However; is able to explain how they are used differently and give English examples that correlate. That skill has been immensely beneficial to me.

Tomu-sensei is a great teacher. I'm a bit of an atypical student since I already learned quite a lot of vocabulary and kanji via some self-studying apps. He was able to adapt very quickly to my situation (knowing lots of words/kanji, lacking grammar/conversation skills), and his lessons are never boring. In just one week I feel I am already improving exponentially. I cannot recommend this enough, it's perfect.

My lesson went very well and it was useful and informative and I thoroughly enjoyed it and I learnt a lot.

I'm really glad that I started learning with Tom. He's not only a wonderful teacher but also a tremendous person who supports you in all possible ways and cherishes every attempt to grasp for new knowledge. After several lessons my Japanese improved, it takes much less time for me to formulate sentences and it's easier to comprehend spoken language. I'm sure that together we will achieve my dream goal of B2 japanese language level.

I had a very helpful trial lesson with Tom-sensei. He mainly taught me a lot about how the italki system works — such as payments, withdrawal methods.. He also shared useful websites and tips for teaching online. It was more like a consultation than a lesson, and I really appreciate his kindness and honesty. Thank you so much!
