Thema von InteresseWissenschaftReisenEssen
Japanese is NOT just about words and grammar—it’s about PERSPECTIVE, CULTURE, and the STORIES behind it all.
Too often, language is taught like a formula, disconnected from its DEEPER meaning. That’s why it feels confusing, why the rules don’t stick, and why it stops being fun. Does this sound familiar?
① Not knowing where to start
② Particles!
③ Conjugations
④ て-form
Without cultural and historical context, particles feel random, formalities rigid, and expressions meaningless.
In my lessons, I’ll help you see why Japanese works the way it does. Once you understand the “WHY,” everything clicks. It’s not just a language—it’s a way to think, connect, and experience life.
Ich als Lehrkraft
I specialize in helping ABSOLUTE BEGINNERS to intermediate learners who feel STUCK or don’t know WHERE TO START. My lessons are LOGICAL and STRUCTURED, breaking Japanese into manageable pieces to build your confidence step by step.
I know the struggles—particles, conjugations, て forms—but I’ll show you not just “what” to use, but “WHY” it works. My focus is on real-world applications: mastering casual conversations, expressing opinions, and understanding cultural nuances.
Every mistake is a stepping stone. My teaching is clear, encouraging, and always tailored to your unique learning style.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I tailor my lessons to suit your needs! Each class is prepared according to your language goals, interests, and personality.
Regarding scheduling, I manage my availability across multiple platforms. On italki, I open availability slots about a week in advance and update them daily as the week progresses.

Survival Japanese: Fast track to Fluency with Structure and BEYOND!
I had 1 hour lessons from Moto every week day for about 2-3 months and my Japanese dramatically improved. He is very friendly, playful, and encouraging! He adapted his lessons to my requirements, and there was never a time when we didn’t have things to talk about. He was always very prepared, and he was able to explain things to me with incredibly good English proficiency. Together we role-played, reviewed my diary entries, casually talked about different subjects, and practiced useful language skills like giving directions, making requests, etc. I always looked forward to our lessons together! At the end of the lessons, Moto will send a message with a bunch of the Japanese we practiced together, and this was great for reviewing after the lesson. Sometimes during the next lesson, we would review together to ensure I didn’t forget!
I highly recommend Moto as a Japanese language teacher, and I’m so glad we met and I had the opportunity to learn from him :)

I'm really appreciative of Moto先生’s help and support. Thanks to his tutoring I was able to ace my interview. He always gets what I'm trying to say right away and then shows me the best way to express it. Once again, I'm truly thankful to him. Without him I couldn't have done it. I'll keep learning with Moto先生 until I reach native speaker level, and even then, I'll probably still continue because talking with him is just so much fun!!! and his English is amazing. I feel like my English has gotten much better too.anyway what I want to say is that I just feel really lucky about all of this.

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 😃
And his perfect english makes learning 100 times easier ⭐️

Fantastic teacher! Moto has a fantastic grasp of English grammar, which allows him to explain the Japanese grammar in my terms!

Moto-sensei is a great teacher who not only patiently goes over the material with me but also offers very engaging examples and context about everything that he's teaching. Feels like I'm not only learning Japanese language but also learning details about Japanese culture that help me to contextualize when and how to use what he's teaching me.
Would highly recommend!

Work with Moto if you are planning to visit Japan! I was looking for a language coach to learn some basic Japanese before visiting Japan for the first time, and I am so glad I found Moto. His teaching style is very logical and patient, and helped build on (and correct) some things I started learning on my own on Duolingo. I completed about 24 lessons before my trip and I feel like I have a great foundation of the language for my visit, and am excited to keep learning when I come back. I highly recommend Moto as a language teacher and suggest you give his method a try.
