🎌Teppei Cat Daddy😻

I had lots of fun during my lesson! Teppei-Sensei made me excited to continue practicing and achieve my dream of talking to locals on my first trip to Japan. He’s able to adjust the casualness of the Japanese he teaches based on how well I already know Japanese people (not at all). I really appreciate that. Can’t wait for more lessons!

Teppei is a tremendous tutor and somebody who is comfortable with any level that you are at. He excels in making sure he feels like your teacher and a good friend. The hardest part of speaking a language you’re learning is to be comfortable making mistakes, but he encourages you do to so, just so you can practice the muscle memory of speaking what you’re learning. As soon as the lesson was over, it felt like it had just started and I already can’t wait to schedule my next one. If you want to practice any form of a conversation or even just small grammar points, his explanations and tips come across as very thorough and caring.

Teppei is incredibly encouraging and understanding. Regardless of your level, he is able to adapt the lesson to your needs and pace. Not only am I feeling more confident in my speaking ability, but I'm also able to express my own authentic opinions and ideas—something that is often missing from a formal Japanese class. I'm years out of practice from when I first started learning Japanese, but speaking with Teppei has helped me make up for lost time and make a lot of progress. Each lesson is enjoyable, and Teppei creates a relaxing, comfortable environment, making learning feel less daunting.

My lessons with Teppei have been great! The conversations are always enjoyable as he takes a keen interest in all sorts of things and he gives you the space to try and express yourself in Japanese as you're learning. Teppei is great at correcting errors, doing so without judgement, and without intervening too often to derail a conversation, I've learn a lot of useful phrases and words during my lessons. His English level is very high so 99% of the time he can give you a translation off the bat if you're searching for a word you don't know. More importantly the lessons are very enjoyable and a great way to practice speaking, would highly recommend!

I really enjoyed my first lesson with Teppei-sensei. We discussed what I would like to learn, and he quickly understood my current level. He made me feel very relaxed and comfortable with making mistakes, taught me some new vocabulary and grammar, and explained how I could improve what I was saying. I feel like I learned a lot and had fun at the same time. I have already booked more lessons, and I would definitely recommend him to other learners!

Teppei makes you feel more like if you’re meeting a friend than a teacher, he’s very funny and has the right amount of humour but at the same time provides very helpful tips and suggestions to sound more natural without dragging down the flow. おひさしぶりのたのしいかいわでした、わたしのブロークンにほんごにもかかわらず、がまんしてくれてありがとう。
