    About me

    🔻Self-Introduction

    Hello everyone!

    My name is Wataru.

    I’m Japanese and currently living in Europe.

    I love teaching Japanese language and culture, as well as traveling. Having visited around 40 countries, I understand both the challenges and the joys of learning languages and exploring different cultures.


    🔻Let’s Learn Japanese Together

    ✅ Planning to study or travel in Japan

    ✅ Want to read manga or watch anime in Japanese

    ✅ Want to take the JLPT exam

    ✅ Want to learn everyday conversation in Japanese

    ✅ Want to study Japanese but don’t know where to start


    🔻Teaching Experience

    I have been offering private Japanese lessons since 2017.

    I teach students ranging from beginners to advanced learners. I tailor each lesson to the student’s goals, whether it’s learning correct grammar, preparing for the JLPT, getting ready for studying or traveling in Japan, or practicing practical conversation.


    🔻My Areas of Expertise

    ✅ Grammar and correct usage of Japanese

    ✅ JLPT preparation

    ✅ Practical conversation practice

    ✅ Preparation for studying or traveling in Japan

    ✅ Beginners are welcome

    *Please let me know if you have a textbook you are using.


    🔻My Trial Lesson

    ✅ Your goals

    ✅ Your current Japanese level

    ✅ Learning preferences (study style)

    ✅ Time available for study

    *After that, I will customize everything just for you and show exactly how we will study together!


    🔻Why Choose My Lessons?

    ✅ I can explain fluently in English, so you can understand clearly

    ✅ Lessons and homework tailored to your current level, situation, and goals

    ✅ You can ask me questions anytime, 24/7


    In my lessons, I create a comfortable environment where even beginners can learn with confidence. Through role-playing, you can enjoy learning grammar and vocabulary in a fun and engaging way.


    Everyone has different reasons for learning—travel, work, hobbies, and more—but I tailor each lesson to your individual goals and pace, so that every time you’ll feel, “I’m glad I studied Japanese today.”


    Through Japanese, let’s expand your world and build new connections with people!

      Started taking lessons with Wataru last week, and I've had about 3 lessons so far. I have a great time conversing with Wataru and I feel like I have learned more than I could've by myself for sure!

      Wataru is a great tutor! Not only do you learn the language based on your objectives, but you have fun while doing so! Highly recommended for anyone looking to learn Japanese, even if you’re starting from 0 like myself as he can speak English fluently
