こんにちは! My name is Shogo.
I am from Gifu Prefecture, Japan. Now I live in Aichi Prefecture.
I have been teaching Japanese since I graduated from university.
I currently teach online from home and at a Japanese language school in Nagoya.
My hobbies include playing the bass guitar, watching sports games, and driving.
Since childhood, I have played a variety of sports, including swimming, tennis, football, and table tennis.
I studied language in the UK twice during my university years. (Edinburgh, Norwich)
So I also like the UK.
My university major is religious culture. I wrote my graduation thesis on the relevance and impact of heavy metal and religion.
Meine Kreationen
Ich als Lehrkraft
In 2017, I completed a 420-hour training course for Japanese language teachers.
I have seven years of experience teaching Japanese.
I worked in two language schools in Taiwan.
When I was working at the school, I particularly focused on speaking practice and conversation training.
I decided to become a Japanese language teacher because I wanted people overseas to like Japan and Japanese culture more.
I have seen many students with different tendencies.
So I never teach in a "you should be able to understand this" kind of way.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
My lessons focus on conversation and speaking practice.
Thanks to advances in the internet and apps, grammar can now be taught on your own.
However, to improve your conversational skills, you need a special environment.
That is why I have prepared a variety of materials to help you develop your speaking and conversation skills efficiently.
In my lessons, the so-called 'learning' time is short.
The lessons are always about using your head and 'expressing'.
I hope that after the lesson you will feel comfortable and tired, that you have practiced and spoken a lot.
※I also work at a Japanese language school in Nagoya, so I update my schedule on a weekly basis to see if there are any conflicts.
Shogo-sensei is very thoughtful in his lessons. Preparation, medias through which he teaches new vocabulary or concepts... I think that he will tailor to your needs every lesson he prepares. I strongly recommend Shogo-sensei to anyone that has a specific intention thought learning Japanese !

This was my first italki lesson ever. I had a total black-out but Shogo was very kind and encouraged me to keep speaking Japanese. Will definitely book another lesson!

My lesson with Shogo-sensei was very useful! We did some talking games which I need to improve my fluency in Japanese.
Shogo-sensei is skilled, patient, and he adapted the lesson to my intermediate level. I highly recommend this teacher :)

I took one of "Japanese Speaking Activities" and I loved how this methology made me force to think in another ways to speak in japanese. Thank you for your patience Shogo sensei. Definitely I am going to book another class.

I like that it's a game where I am forced to talk and explain.
