About Me
italki teacher since May 7, 2021
Hi, my name is Riku.
I studied in the UK and worked in Mexico.
I have been teaching Japanese for over 1 year and helping foreigners who want to work in Japan.
I like doing a workout, swimming, reading, listening to music, dancing, singing, traveling, learning foreign languages.
I absolutely understand how difficult it is to learn foreign languages because I also spent tons of time learning English and Spanish.
It is my passion to teach for those who have been struggling to learn Japanese.
Me as a Teacher
- Teaching experience in foreign countries
I have taught Japanese at university in Mexico and high school in Honduras as a volunteer tutor.
In Mexico, I was tutoring and mentoring local students who major in the Japanese language once a week for half a year.
In Honduras, I taught Japanese to local high school students for a week as a volunteer tutor.
- Teaching experience as an online tutor
I have been teaching Japanese from Kids to adult-age foreign people via other language teaching platforms.
I basically have 30 active students in a week. I get used to teaching Japanese via online video.
My lessons & teaching style
- My lessons & teaching style
Broadly speaking I have two teaching methods.
The first one is a conversation-based lesson.
We talk in Japanese and I point out when I found vocabularies or grammatical errors.
Later, I will ask a student why I pointed out to make sure that the student really understands my indication.
The second one is a grammar and vocabulary text-based lesson.
I will provide study materials like PDF, e-books, Word file...etc
Then, we will work on contexts and questions.
The purpose of this is to get correct Japanese grammar and vocabulary.
I have all materials for beginner, intermediate, advanced level students.

Thank you today’s lesson I learned so much, at the end it was a lot of information but I feel like I am learning at a good pace and will eventually get to know a good amount of Japanese. Can’t wait for the next lesson!

Riku-sensei was very helpful and adapted the lesson to my needs. He continued to help me overcome my fear of speaking Japanese.
