Hello, my name is Yoshi. I am a professional documentary photographer currently living in Europe. I was born and raised in Japan. I spent more than ten (10) years in the 80’s and 90’s in the United States, studying at a university in San Francisco and working as a photographer in New York City and also over twenty years in Europe working as a photographer with international organizations. Japanese is my native language and I am fluent in English. I truly enjoy meeting people and exploring new cultures.
Moi en tant que professeur
I first got involved in teaching Japanese as a conversation tutor when I was at the university in San Francisco, USA. Since then, I love working with people from different cultural backgrounds. This is also one of the reasons why I became a documentary photographer. I have visited over 90 countries to document different cultures and people. For the joy of teaching, I have also taught photography at workshops. Teaching requires a great deal of patience and communication artistry which also apply to become a good photographer as well. In general, it is truly rewarding to see my students succeed in learning skills.
Mes leçons et ma méthode d'enseignement
My lessons will be based on conversations and dialogue exchanges, and they are designed for individuals aged 15 and above. On our first trial lesson, we will assess the level of Japanese you are at and tailor our future lessons. The aim here is to make our lessons as enjoyable as possible. If you start loving what you do, you will naturally be good at what you do. Learning your grammar and building vocabulary is essential; however, the most effective learning is to put what you have learnt into practice, listening and speaking face-to-face. Our goal will be that you will overcome your fears of making mistakes, of being shy - all things that hinder you from improving your Japanese.

Shimizu-san is exactly what I need. I lived in Japan for twenty years but didn’t have opportunities to speak it once I returned to the US in 2005. We talk about a wide variety of things which has helped my recall and has improved my fluency.

The lessons are great for improving my comprehension. He does a great job walking through sentences and making sure I understand.

Yoshi is a great teacher for those focused on conversational Japanese. If you know a lot of Japanese words but are unable to articulate full sentences, he will help you round out the fundamentals and then help you get to your goal.
I would consider his English to be native so that is very helpful.

Great lesson with Yoshi-san! I appreciate how patience and his help. I haven't had a Japanese lesson in over 2 months and he still helped me learn something new!

I haven't been practising Japanese lately, and I was struggling to initiate our conversation today, but luckily Yoshi teacher was leading the flow in a very encouraging and thoughtful manner. Thank you so much.
I also love the depth of our conversation - I never imagined I could learn so much in a Japanese class! Yoshi san, you too, have a great day!!
