Me as a Teacher
I'm an easy-going person and am happy to talk about whatever you want to talk about. I know how hard it can be to speak a new language, and fear of making mistakes is often what stops us from progressing. I do my best to create a relaxed and comfortable environment where my students can develop their confidence in speaking Japanese.
My lessons & teaching style
Our lesson will be conversation-based most of the time, we will add some grammar and vocabulary into the conversation too.
We can chat about a topic you like, or you can bring your own plan and we will accomplish it together. I would love to help you to improve your vocabulary, pronunciation, and conversation skills in Japanese.
It's important to talk, and it's okay to make mistakes. The more mistakes you make, the faster you will learn!

拓巳さん has really helped me understand 漢字 and their radicals. Honestly I like his methods alot for improving 漢字 comprehension. They range from letting you struggle to read the characters, to identifying radicals, presenting common readings and repeating common words using their 漢字 reading. I have learned to identify many readings and radicals with 拓巳さん I hope to continue to improve with his guidance.

たくさんはとてもいい先⽣です!
Taku is an excellent teacher! He's very patient, knowledgeable, and knows how to explain things in a way that makes Japanese "stick".
Lessons with him are always fun. I highly recommend him for your next Japanese lesson!

Taku naturally guides the conversation during our practice. He asks good questions and also has interesting and easy enough to understand responses. He speaks clearly and slowly enough that it's less intimidating for an intermediate student like me. It was really fun talking about what video games we play, sports, and nature. He is quick to know the meaning of lots of random words that I don't know in Japanese. Conversational practice is a good go with the flow, no pressure environment.
