Hello,

My name is Takumi. I was born and raised in Japan. I am a professional Japanese language tutor. I specialise in practical, real-life Japanese that you can use immediately in conversations, work, and daily life.

I have experience teaching students from beginners to advanced learners. My lessons focus on natural expressions and easy-to-understand examples. I also work closely with students practice practical phrases and real conversations that they can use in everyday life, work, or travel.

I always tailor my lessons to each student’s level, goals, and learning style. Whether you want to build confidence in speaking, understand grammar deeply, or improve your listening skills, I’m here to support your learning journey step by step.

If you want to speak natural, authentic Japanese, let’s learn together! I look forward to meeting you soon.

I have a degree in science and over 10 years of experience in teaching Japanese.

I have taught a wide variety of learners - My youngest student was 6 years old who was a primary school and my oldest student is 60 years old who was a vice president of a big tech company.

I always discuss each student’s goals and tailor my lesson plan to meet their specific needs.

For example, if a student is traveling to Japan for a holiday, I will focus on practical travel Japanese and use romanisation only, so they can quickly learn useful phrases without worrying about reading characters.

After every lesson, I provide a custom worksheet to help students review and practice the specific points we covered, so they can continue improving between lessons.
