Hello, I'm Taka!
I was born and grew up in Japan and currently live in Tokyo.
After graduating from a university in Tokyo, I worked for several Japanese companies, mainly in the media industry, for over 25 years.
Thanks to plenty of experiences of business trips nationwide from Hokkaido to Kagoshima, I can tell the differences in dialogue, food, and transportation between cities.
Outside of work, I like traveling, strength training in the gym, and playing poker.
Me as a Teacher
1. I offer four types of lesson, as shown in the menu. I can modify and improve lessons to meet your expectations and requests. Please let me know what in particular and how you want to learn.
2. During and after lessons, I provide personalized corrections and advice to help you improve your skills more rapidly and efficiently. This individualized feedback is a key part of my teaching approach.
3. My lessons go with the textbooks Minna no Nihongo and Genki. If you use textbooks other than these two, please let me know.Even if you don't have textbooks in the initial stages, you can still start your lessons. I've prepared over 50 sets of PowerPoint slides as tutoring materials.

How I teach
-You'll think and speak more than me. Focusing on creating sentences yourself is the most important thing for improving your Japanese skills.
-I usually use Japanese in my classes. I use English according to your request.
-My classes are for learners at 15 years old or older.
-I tell you how to achieve Japanese skills online in the most efficient way. When it comes to learning English, I started online learning in 2016. I passed the first grade of Eigo Kentei(CEFR C1).

Taka sensei is very supportive of my first steps into this learning journey. I thoroughly enjoyed today's lesson and time just flew. Looking forward to my next lesson.
Talking with Takaさん was very seamless and enjoyable. I practiced everyday conversation and our topics included : Life in our country, Hospital facilities, Commutation, etc. Takaさん listened carefully with genuine interest. Not only does he provide corrections but helps to repeat sentences with further explanations and vocabulary. Besides, he gives vital feedback and after each lesson. Takaさん, i would say, is an efficient Japanese tutor with a great skill for explaining things in an easily understandable. いつもありがとうございます!

Got my second lesson under my belt and I'm even more excited about future lessons! First dive into verbs today. Taka sensei is so patient and encouraging! I don't want to disappoint him, so I will do my best to absorb all the information he is giving me. ありがとうございました。
