Masaki

Masaki is a great teacher. I took his lesson when I was preparing for an interview in Japanese. Not only he gave me feedback on my speaking skills, but he gave me great advice for the interview as well.

I have been taking Masaki san’s business Japanese lesson for almost 50 times. The main reason I took his lesson is not just to learn business Japanese but also actually apply it to work and with the hope of enabling me to pursue a better career in Japan as a foreigner. 2 years ago when I took the interview lessons with Masaki san, I was able to pass the interview and got in the current company. The interview Japanese I learned from Masaki san brought me a golden ticket to the career I dreamed of. I have never thought that I can actually realize my goal before. After taking Masaki san’s lesson, I understand my goal is something achievable. Every time I set a higher goal and I doubt if I can achieve it but following Masaki san’s instructions makes me believe I can literally make it come true in the future. I understand it’s never easy but taking Masaki san’s lesson lets you step on the right way.

私はほぼ半年まさき先生と一緒に敬語の練習をしていました。留学生として日本にいた私に敬語の使い方が一つの弱点でした。まさき先生と文法の理由と話の練習はもちろん、日本の会社の特徴にもたくさん教えていただきましたので、敬語の練習をしたい方におすすめします！ I had the pleasure to practice keigo for six months with Masaki sensei. Keigo had always been one of my weak points, and I was happy to not only practice the formal rules and situations, but to also study the particularities of a Japanese office environment in detail. Masaki sensei guided me with patience along the way, and I feel confident to now take interviews in Japanese, and to start working in a Japanese speaking environment. I wholeheartedly recommend Masaki to all of those wishing to improve their formal Japanese!

I really appreciate his lessons since he first listens to what you want to achieve and helps you step by step in reaching your goal!

Masaki先生はすごく丁寧に、親切に、細かい部分まで、説明していただきました。不自然な言い方もきちんと治していただいて、言葉使いのニュアンスやアクセントとイントネーションも教えていただきました。すごく効率的なレッスンでした。

I'm working with Masaki on improving my ability to explain complicated/advanced topics. I appreciate that he keeps the conversation flowing and asking questions to delve deeper in the topic. It's been helpful practice!
