About Me
italki teacher since May 7, 2020
Hi, my name is Shunpei. I am a Japanese teacher living in Tokyo. I have always been interested in learning language and have experienced the difficulties and joys of language learning. That is why I decided to teach language—to help and share with other learners. When I have time, I listen to pop music and sing karaoke. I also play the piano and the kokyū (a traditional Japanese string instrument). I like going to the movie theater, mainly to see Disney and Marvel movies. Lately, I’ve gotten into flower arranging which helps me relax and be creative. こんにちは、しゅんぺいです。東京に住んでいる日本人です。言葉を学ぶことは大変ですが楽しいですよね。私が言葉を教えたいと思ったのは、学ぶ人を助けたいそして一緒に楽しみたいと思ったからです。音楽を聴いたりカラオケが趣味です。ピアノや胡弓を弾きます。映画館へ行ったり花も好きです。 I lived in Canada for three years and taught at Japanese language and culture schools for children in Vancouver and Montreal. I really enjoyed teaching there and this motivated me to complete my Japanese language teaching certification and pass the Japanese Language Education Proficiency Test. After getting the certificate, I started teaching Japanese. 以前３年間、カナダに住んでいました。バンクーバーとモントリオールの日本語と文化を教える学校で子供たちに日本語を教えました。それがとても楽しかったので、日本語教師養成講座を修了して、日本語教育能力試験を受けようと決めました。合格した後、日本語を教え始めました。 In my lessons, I use textbooks (e.g., “Minna no Nihongo Ⅰ/Ⅱ,” “Genki Ⅰ/Ⅱ,” etc.) to teach in Japanese, just like in a Japanese language school in Japan. Whether you want to practice a conversation topic of your choice or want to study business Japanese, I would like to accommodate your requests. If it’s difficult ...

Quite a good class; I don't know how it could be better really. Fastest hour of my life practically.

Shunpei is very professional and always tailors the lessons to suit my level and knowledge. We move at a comfortable but steady pace, covering a mix of vocabulary, grammar explanations, and practical exercises. I’m encouraged to complete tasks independently but receive guidance when needed. The atmosphere is relaxed and supportive, which makes the lessons enjoyable and effective. I’ve learned a lot and always look forward to the next class.

Quite a good class. The instructor works hard; and makes me work hard! I was able to spot today where I am hitting a wall and know where I need to review now.
