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!

Ik als leerkracht
I've been professionally teaching Japanese for about three years. My specialties are casual Japanese and teaching phrases that only native speakers use! I help my students avoid directly translating things, as this often results in creating unnatural expressions (E.g When we hang out and friends look a bit bored, we don't say "Are you bored? We say "Do you wanna do something different? (何か違うことする?)in Japanese). Also, I break down common formal Japanese expressions and explain how you can make casual phrases with them. So that you can see the difference and pick proper expressions when you speak or write!
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
I teach Japanese for a variety of use cases. For example, one of my students wants to be a flight attendant, so we practice a mix of formal and casual Japanese. Another one of my students wants to be funny when he speaks Japanese, so we speak casually and watch anime and comedy together! I always watch my student's favourite anime, shows and videos on youtube to learn natural expressions so that they can remember phrases and rewatch them whenever they forget the phrases we learned! I'm passionate about finding methods that suit my friends. (I call the people I teach, friends!)

I really enjoied the trial lesson, great range of content, very relaxed and encouraging when it came to correcting mistakes. I am looking forward to the next session.

Takeshi-sensei is great! It's clear that he is very experienced with what he is doing, and he is very prepared with lots of materials to use in lessons. If you are more of a beginner, or more intermediate, he will still be able to help you either way.

Another wonderful session with Takeshi! I cannot recommend enough. He is so very patient with me as I ask so many questions as he reiterates in a way I can better follow. It's always so comfortable and casual without any intimidation. 10/10!

I'll sound like a broken record, but I cannot recommend Takeshi enough. He really goes the extra mile to ensure you understand & not feel alone in your language-learning journey. Amazing!

Takeshi is a very helpful guy. He can provide me with a lot of tips, such as on how to reply better when speaking.

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.
