Hello! My name is Takeshi. I lived in Toronto for two years, and now I'm back in Japan! I also spent 9 months in the States. While I was in the States, I spent my time recording music in Chicago and studying English. I'm super passionate about music, movies, acting, creating content, and language. I'm also addicted to improving myself. I want to meet people who are serious about learning Japanese and whom I can share my vast knowledge with! I'm looking forward to meeting you!

Just took my first full lesson with Takeshi sensei and it was really great. I promise you won't regret booking him. He answered some questions i have always had about Japanese and was very good at correcting me and making me feel comfortable.

Takeshi seems like a great guy just from the first lesson and showed me all sorts of material that would be used to learn Japanese. You can tell he genuinely takes this seriously and cares about each student's learning process. Can't wait to have more lessons!

Absolutely out of this WORLD! I couldn't have asked for a better teacher. Takeshi is the one to go to if you're serious about getting better at Japanese; he managed to work around some of my barriers when it comes to language learning and presented everything in such a way that I could feel as if I'd gained progress in only one lesson, and then walked away feeling like I've escaped a roadblock in my Japanese learning journey. I feel like I can actually see myself speaking Japanese in a year, which I never would've expected before now. That's crazy! Than you, Takeshi-sensei!

Takeshi sensei was really awesome. He even gave me a little extra time to talk overtime which was very generous. He was also very good at correcting my unnatural Japanese and i just felt very comfortable making mistakes with him. I will for sure be taking more lessons in the future.

For this class I couldn't prepare like I always do. We started as always with a chit chat, we review a couple of videos I had studied but that I didn't have many questions and since we had time left, Takeshi brought a video to watch together, we watched it twice, one to assess how much I can understand and another one to solve doubts. I learned new vocabulary and had a laugh finding out the plot of the video. Takeshi sent me this video to review it again and make notations and another one to watch for next time. Always fun to hang out with Takeshi, he seems already like an old friend, so fun to talk to that I forget about the time. Thank you for the patience Takkun xP
