good!

I began with no Japanese background, and thanks to Shimpei‑sensei’s patient, well‑structured lessons I’m seeing meaningful progress in my language‑learning journey. He always arrives prepared with clear explanations, useful materials, and personalized drills that match my learning style. Because of my goals, Shimpei‑sensei tailors the classes to emphasize spoken practice, providing direct, constructive feedback that accelerates my improvement. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking an engaging and supportive online Japanese teacher.

I feel myself getting more confident making sentences each session. Great lesson plans!

Shimpei-sensei is, by far, best Japanese teacher I have met in and outside iTalki. The method of his teaching perfectly suits my need and works best for me. He spent so much effort and time preparing the materials and the curriculum that is suitable for my style of learning. The explanation of the grammar, the examples given, the exercises and the role-play are not boring. Instead, they are engaging and would reinforce the knowledge you have acquired so far in his lessons. It worked for me that I became confident in speaking. You will not hesitate to make mistakes as Shimpei-sensei is patient and helps you correct both pronunciation and grammar after you have spoken by just giving a clue. Today marks my 59th lesson with him and I am not stopping. Will continue until Shimpei-sensei himself gives up on me.

Friendly and great teacher! He customized the lesson to my goals and needs. I definitely recommend him.

Shimpei-san and I spoke about our common interests, job hunting, and work experience. I'm looking forward to more chats in the future! Thank you again!
