Hi I'm Ryota.
I was born in Japan and grew up in Osaka then move to Tokyo when I graduated university.
Recently I have changed my career to be a Japanese teacher from working at Japanese company as a sales & marketing for 10 years.
I used to live in Netherlands ,Singapore and Malaysia and met many people interested in Japan. That is the reason why I became a Japanese teacher !!
Me as a Teacher
I'm certified Japanese teacher and I have been teaching Japanese since 2009 on italki. I always enjoy teaching and seeing my students improve their Japanese.
I am a teacher but I have been studying English and Spanish so I fully understand the difficulty to learn other languages.
As I have lived in Tokyo for about 10 years I speak standard Japanese other than Kansai dialect ( 関西弁).
I also speak English and Spanish other than Japanese.
So don't worry if you have trouble understanding Japanese I can also explain in English as well.

Ryota-Sensei offers concise and clear explanations of Japanese grammar, delivered in a calm and patient manner. He was very helpful in identifying a learning approach that suited me, showcasing his strong skills in structure, organization, and analytical thinking. I highly recommend him to anyone eager to enhance their Japanese skills. I'm looking forward to my next lecture with him.
Great lesson! Went over different vocab related to business and the workplace and introduced new grammar structures alongside.

Ryota-san does a good job in explaining subjects in an easy to digest manner. They also elaborate more on book topics (Genki Vol 1) to better contextualize the structure of the vocabulary and grammar that haven't been mentioned in the book yet.
