    About me

    Translated

    Show original

    I’ve spent over four years in English-speaking countries, experiencing local life and culture while working as a Japanese teacher. My strength lies in explaining Japanese in a way that’s easy to understand in English. With my background in sales and engineering, I bring strong interpersonal communication skills and logical thinking to my classes. I’ve also started a venture to share Japan’s Zen culture both domestically and internationally, providing opportunities to engage with traditional culture from a practical perspective. I’m well-versed in Japanese subculture, including anime and games, and I offer fun and practical lessons tailored to learners with diverse interests.


    For the past two years, I’ve taught Japanese online and in-person to an American student every week. Thanks to our lessons, he secured a job offer from a Japanese tech company and is currently working as a QA. I excel at teaching tricky points in a fun and easy-to-understand way, whether it’s casual or business Japanese, while emphasizing context.


    I’ll support you in mastering natural Japanese that you can actually use, tailored to your level and goals.

      My conversation class with Taku was a fantastic experience. He's not only friendly and easy to talk to, but he also has a great way of explaining things clearly and naturally. Thanks to his guidance, I've noticed a real improvement in my ability to tell stories and express myself more clearly in Japanese. Taku has a great sense of humor and keeps the class engaging and fun, which made it easy to stay motivated. I’d definitely recommend him to anyone who wants to improve their spoken Japanese and learn how to use the language in a real, natural way.

      Definitely the best tutor I’ve had by far. Easy to get lost in conversation filled with fun and laughter. I think that’s important for language learning.
