My main targets are ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS to intermediate who have just started on their Japanese journey. I will do a LOGICAL & STRUCTURAL approach to lead you in the right direction.
Here is what I found common struggles that my students have.
â Just don't know where to start.
âĄParticles!!!!!!!!
âąConjugations
âŁPassive/Causative/Passive-Causative
â€ăŠform: ăŠăăăăăŠăăăăăŠăăă
â„Friendly conversations / Casual Form
âŠTelling your opinion and do debate in Japanese.
If one of the above is your concern, don't worry. You found me ;p
Teaching Japanese is not my work, it is my PASSION. It always makes me very happy when I meet people who are interested in my language.
Me as a Teacher
Iâm an enthusiastic, friendly, and encouraging teacher. Itâs really important to me that you enjoy the classes and feel relaxed and comfortable.
My approach to teaching is very hands-on. I focus on phrases, expressions, and even slangs that are used in real-life. I demonstrate things detailed and really well. I like using body language to help you understand better. When you understand the meaning and the use, I want you to create several situations to use them to fully understand the use. We do a lot of repeated exercise to imprint the language in your instinct!! My aim is to help you to express yourself naturally and effortlessly.
My lessons & teaching style
I tailor my lessons to suit you! I prepare each class according to your language needs as well as your interests and personality.
How we proceed
1) Please feel free to message me with your level and aims, then I make a plan for you.
2) While doing trial lessons, I will tailor my lesson to cater to your needs.
3) If you like the trial, let's start full lessons with me.
Regarding scheduling, I manage my schedule across multiple platforms, and on italki, I display availability for one week at a time. I update my schedule daily. Hopefully, we can find a suitable time
â CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY â
At least 24-hour notice should be given for a lesson to be canceled or rescheduled.

Moto is an excellent teacher. He explains the literal translations and historical origins of phrases and words. This can be very helpful especially when such phrases exhibit some exception to the "rules." He gives great examples of equivalents in english to help students comprehend difficult concepts or subtle aspects of the language. Expectations and goals are very clear throughout the process. Moto is good at understanding my larger goals and breaking each meeting into a small lesson that is in service of my larger goals.

Moto sensei is such a great teacher! He's very helpful no matter the level your at, and the conversations we have are very fun to me. I enjoy our lessons and they've definitely helped me improve my Japanese skills immensely. I recommend him to everyone trying to learn a new language. I look forward to many more lessons together!

10/10. This is really a GREAT teacher. I am so happy I booked a session with him. I am about to book 1000 more. LITTERALY. With the great structure and teaching techniques of moto, I will be closer to my goals to speak and understand the amazing japanese language đ
And his perfect english makes learning 100 times easier âïž

Moto san is an excellent teacher. He gives a detailed explanation of all the vocubalary and phrases. Japanese is a very contextual language, and moto explains how to best utilize and decipher phrases for the apporpriate context. I look forward to continuing to study with Moto san.

Moto is a great teacher and person. I had a fun time talking with him and discussing a lesson plan for my upcoming trip to Japan. He is patient, kind and fun to learn from. I am looking forward to learn more of the Japanese language from him in the future. Thank you so much!

Moto san provides excellent language instruction, but he also provides excellent information about Japan beyond language. This includes information on the regional differences in culture in Japan. And some of the larger societal implications of choosing the words you use. This is helpful for someone who not only wants to learn to speak a language but to also understand a culture. Moto sets out very clear expectations from one meeting to another. I highly recommend Moto san as an instructor.
