Hi everyone! My name is Shota, or you can call me Tommy because this is what my last name sounds like. I was born and raised in Japan. I met over 1,400 international people in my work as the tour guide in Tokyo. I have also started to teach Japanese language in group lessons online since last year. I would like to expand my lessons to meet more new people, so am starting to teach at italki too. I was also a language learner like you, studied abroad in the UK and have been to up to 20 countries. Indeed I am interested in you and your country, language and culture too!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I have business experience in the international sales of automotive related industry for 5 years, and other 2 years at the tourism industry as the tour guide. I commanded Japanese as the native speaker as well as a business person with broad experience in Japan. Combining all the background of businessman and Japanese cultural guide, I would like to teach not only Japanese language but with culture too. Please ask me anything in my lessons. I will be happy to answer and lead you through to like Japan and Japanese more.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
I welcome anyone for example who wants to start from the basic Japanese to even who wants to work on the business Japanese. In my lessons, I would like you to try to talk in Japanese no matter which level you are on. But please do not worry. If you are the beginner, I have the slides so you can start from being familiar with Japanese alphabets. Then we can talk in Japanese about any topics. I can also prepare the slides so you can get the ideas for what to talk about. If you are interested, the topics can cover the foods, history, culture and places in Japan too!
Awesome teacher. He quickly figured out my Japanese level and found a way to speak in a way that I could understand. At the same time he kept me on my toes and challenged my knowledge throughout the conversation. Definitely will be back 😁

My first Japanese lesson with Shota sensei, it was a fun session! Prior to booking, i have no knowledge of basic japanese at all. However, i enjoyed it so much & i learned a lot in just one session. Shota is very supportive and always encouraging throughout the lesson. Will book another lesson soon, thank you so much once again☺️🙏🏻

I really enjoyed my lesson with Shota. He was well prepared, did a good job of explaining, and was very personable and fun to talk to.
