たけしさん is a very patient teacher. If correct Japanese is important to you, he's an amazing teacher. I think he shines the more lessons you take with him because his lessons build on each other. His lessons are very different because they're based on the foundation of Japanese sound and rhythm, then phrases, then grammar. It's like how a child learns. Because of this it takes longer to get into the groove of things but once you do, you see a lot of progress. You do have to build the correct pronunciation first though which will take more than 10 lessons.
Learning with たけしさん is a commitment but it will tremendously help your Japanese if you're willing to be patient. I've been learning to different between English pronunciation and Japanese pronunciation. I can now tell when I'm saying things wrong and start to correct them. It's a lot of practice and drills but it's starting to become subconscious. And たけしさん gives you the freedom to make mistakes and learn from them.
