Hello, my name is Murakami, and I am a community tutor for the Japanese language. I have worked in a Japanese company for over 30 years, having a decade of business experience in foreign countries. It was like a dream come true for me. Now I can help your study Japanese as a foreign language for your future business or travel opportunities.

My classes are generally held every weekend. My ideal class is not a formal, syllabus-driven class like a language school, but rather a private tutoring class where students can enjoy the international exchange. Talks about traditional and new Japanese culture are also welcome.My teaching material

Murakami-san is always patient and makes a lot of effort to make sure that you get to the point of the lesson. He uses a lot of examples to ensure that you can use the new vocabulary in the best possible way and get every nuance of it

He always encourages and take all the time you need to understand something new. He gives a lot of examples that you can get the point of the new grammatic. Great!

I am a big fan of Murakami Sensei's teaching style. He sends me materials before our lesson so I can review it - there is structure, free talk and he explains all the questions I have regarding any grammar or phrases. 10/10 would take his class!
