    Private Japanese Lessons That Fit Your Goals and Interests

    [ABOUT ME]
    I’m Ryota, a native Japanese speaker living in Yokohama, and I’m here to help you learn Japanese in a fun and practical way. With strong English skills and a deep understanding of what it’s like to learn a second language, I can guide you through the tricky parts and make the process smoother.

    [ABOUT THE SESSIONS]
    Our sessions are going to be tailored to your particular goals and interests. If you’re a beginner, we’ll start with easy conversations or watching and discussing videos in Japanese. That way I can help you get used to the rhythm and flow of Japanese. If you’re a more advanced learner, perhaps preparing for the JLPT, we can review past exams together and focus on polishing your grammar and vocabulary to get you ready.

    I’m also well-versed in Japanese traditions and culture—including anime and manga—so we can easily incorporate those into our lessons if they interest you. And if you’ve recently moved to Japan or are planning to, I can share insights and practical tips to help you navigate life here. (I’ve got plenty of expat friends and know the drill!)

    If you’re looking for a supportive, chill tutor to guide you on your Japanese journey, I’d love to help. Let’s make learning Japanese an exciting and enjoyable experience together!

    I’m a graduate student in philosophy of science, huge fan of movies and music—especially neo-soul, and a language enthusiast (I speak Japanese, English and Chinese).

    I have studied abroad in the U.S. attending Dickinson College in PA for a year.

    Classes for junior high students from academic performance (entrance exam for senior high school). Face-to-face instruction only.
    This class is for junior high students who currently living in Japan who are preparing for the entrance exam for senior high school and are suffering from poor academic performance. In most cases, there is no single cause for poor academic performance, but rather a combination of factors. Adults may dismiss a child's inability to get a good score on a school test as a lack of understanding, but I will carefully explore the reasons why the students are struggling. Through my own experience of studying for the entrance exams (private junior high and university) as well as my teaching experience of more than 40 Japanese students, I'd like to help you.
