Josey Sekine

Josey Sekine is an outstanding teacher — highly conscientious, professional, diligent, efficient, you name it — yet also warm and approachable. If you’re looking for someone who combines seriousness with genuine friendliness, he is the one to turn to. Progress with him is inevitable, at your own pace, because he is remarkably adaptable and refuses to settle for a lazy, linear approach to teaching of the 日本語. His passion for what he does is unmistakable; you can feel it in every lesson. Like all true enthusiasts, he is reaching for the stars — and he is more than happy to have you along for the journey.

Josey is friendly, patient, and knowledgeable. He was able to quickly establish some structure for my studies on the first lesson. He kept me engaged throughout the lesson while also comfortably pushing me to test myself. His class was fun and informative. I would definitely recommend him.

Josey was friendly, patient and informative. Although he had prepared to cover the basics, when he saw I had some basic knowledge already he was quickly able to adapt to a level that was comfortable for me. I enjoyed the lesson and Josey's teaching style so I'm looking forward to continuing working with him.

Siempre me han gustado mucho las clases con Josey, es excelente profesora, me forza a siempre practicar y no me sieto juzgada, todas las clases me siento que avanzo y que recuerdo las cosas que ya se me habian olvidado. Espero poder seguir aprendiendo con él! Súper recomendado

Up until now I'd been avoiding learning about verb conjugations because it seemed intimidating, but Josey explained it in a way that seemed simple and easy to understand.

Patient and kind! Helps me out a lot, teaches me lots of new words :) ありがとう！
