Tatsuki たつき

I've been taking lessons with Tatsuki for over two years at this point I think. I've tried lessons with other teachers on italki, and while they were friendly and competent, Tatsuki is by far the best. From the very beginning, Tatsuki made me feel completely comfortable; he's friendly, genuine, interesting, and funny. Additionally, he has always been able to identify my weaknesses as a Japanese learner and tailor our lessons around those. I'm sure he has many students, yet he can recall specific areas where I frequently make mistakes. To be honest, I deeply appreciate the time I've gotten to spend with Tatsuki and consider him to be my friend at this point. As my journey to learn Japanese has progressed, our conversations have become more natural and we often talk about movies, culture, anime, or whatever else we feel like talking about that day. Tatsuki is probably the best teacher I've had, period. Take lessons with him, you won't regret it.

Tatsuki-sensei è un insegnante fantastico e sono molto soddisfatta del percorso che stiamo svolgendo insieme. Con lui mi sono trovata bene dall’inizio, ma ho deciso di scrivere la mia recensione dopo 16 lezioni insieme per potere condividere maggiori elementi. Tatsuki è molto professionale, paziente ed efficace nel suo stile di insegnamento. Le lezioni sono personalizzate e strutturate, con una sequenza negli argomenti che mi sta aiutando a progredire costantemente. Le spiegazioni sono chiare e avvengono in un’atmosfera rilassata, combinazione ideale per apprendere al meglio. Le mie domande sono benvenute, cosa per me fondamentale per capire a fondo un argomento. Tatsuki conosce molto bene l’italiano. Questa conoscenza profonda, combinata con le sue abilità di insegnante, fa emergere le sinergie esistenti tra il giapponese l’italiano, cosa sulla quale non è possibile far leva nello studio intermediato dall’inglese. Sono molto felice di continuare il mio percorso con Tatsuki-sensei!

Tatsuki is an incredible Japanese teacher with great communication for English speakers. I have spent a few months with weekly lessons under his coaching, he is very consistent and brings so much knowledge to help you work through your language learning journey. Cannot recommend Tatsuki highly enough for those wanting to learn Japanese at a great pace! ありがとうたつきさん、がんばろう！

たつき先生 is excellent. I have been taking lessons with Tatsuki consistently for six months. He is diligent and thoughtful in the way he prepares his lessons and reviews important vocabulary and grammar. I began lessons with a basic understanding of the kana, a baseline of vocabulary and set-phrases, and a grasp of simple, polite-form grammar. Tatsuki has patiently helped to correct misunderstandings in my self-study and guide through more advanced forms of grammar. Tatsuki patiently answers questions about vocabulary and grammar that I encounter in my self study, engages in level-appropriate practice conversation, while preparing comprehensive, classroom-style instruction during our lessons. As a native speaker, Tatsuki teaches practical language skills that go an extra level of depth and nuance beyond the text book. I would strongly recommend Tatsuki to serious learners of Japanese looking for an experienced and dedicated teacher. ガンバて!たつき先生、ありがとうございます!

Tatsuki is an excellent and highly professional teacher who delivers organized, clear, and engaging lessons. Each session includes reviewing grammar points from the Genki textbook and practicing reading, listening, and speaking skills through well-structured exercises. Tatsuki always provides clear explanations for topics that can be challenging for Japanese learners, and since starting weekly lessons with him, I’ve seen noticeable improvement in my Japanese. If you’re looking for a teacher who offers outstanding, professional-level instruction, I highly recommend scheduling a lesson with him.

If you want to learn Japanese Tasuki is 100% the person you should book, very easy to talk to, kind, friendly and instantly makes you feel at ease. No matter your level in Japanese he can help you improve. The biggest thing that impresses me is his ability to explain even the most nuanced aspects of the language in an easy to digest manner. You know he knows how to learn languages having learnt English and Italian himself to a high level, so not only can he teach it , he has done it. 10/10 would recommend to anyone :)
