[ABOUT ME]
I’m Ryota, a native Japanese speaker living in Mitaka, Tokyo, 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!

About Me
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 like to keep things relaxed and fun, so our lessons can mix structured learning with casual conversation about whatever interests you.

I have graduated from Aoyama Gakuin University with a Bachelor's degree in English.
I have studied abroad in the U.S. attending Dickinson College in PA for a year.
Experience / Qualifications
I was a Japanese tutor for international students at my University for three years.
I love learning languages in general, so I know tons of useful resources online.
