Award winning Japanese teacher who lived in the UK (for 15 years), Germany (2 years), Australia, and the U.S. I picked up English and Japanese as I grew up. I can speak in different accents! I have been awarded the Duolingo Language Impact Award in 2021.
I'm also a composer/musician. I've written music for Discovery, National Geographic, Fox, Universal etc...
Things I like: music, video games (mostly JRPGs), technology, comedy, cats, psychology, brain science, exercising, and more cats. I welcome musos, gamers, animal lovers, geeks, and nerds with open arms!
I don't want to go blah blah blah about myself too much. Haha.

Ik als leerkracht
I've been teaching online since 2011. I've given over 25,000 lessons (more than 6200 on italki + other platforms) . I LOVE teaching and helping students.
I often use screen sharing, so you can see a "virtual whiteboard" during my Intensive Japanese class. I won't make it boring by using a textbook, but I have my original materials and some customized files for you.
★ I'm very passionate ! My "Intensive Japanese" lessons are only for those who are serious and dedicated. I want my students to have at least 25 mins/day for self study/review. Possibly 1hr/day, if you want to be fluent quickly :) ★ I'd have to "unleash hell" when a student gets lazy. haha. Bet you don't want to see that.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
Basically, my lessons are very practical and I want my students to talk and practice what they've learned as much as possible.
It usually takes my beginner students about 3-4 months to start speaking. My Intensive Japanese lessons are tailored to your specific needs, so you can improve quickly.
I make my own lesson materials as I find textbooks a bit.... boring! Haha.
◉ CANCELLATION & REFUND POLICY ◉ Please read before booking ◉
★ If you are more than 15 minutes late, the lesson will be treated as a no-show. And no refund will be given.
★ At least 24-hour notice should be given for a lesson to be cancelled or rescheduled.

I have been Taeko-sensei's student for a while now and I have to say that she is my favorite teacher I have ever learned under. From the very first lesson, she had a good grasp of where my current skills were at and had strong suggestions for what I needed to improve on. Overtime we developed a lesson plan that worked well for me. Every lesson feels extremely engaging and she she always shows a vested interest in what I have to talk about. It is very much like talking to a friend. I cannot recommend her enough!

My son loves his lessons with Taeko. He is making excellent progress with Japanese. I honestly could not say enough positive things about how working with Taeko has improved my sons foreign language learning experience.

I have no idea how I lucked into finding Taeko, but I’m incredibly happy that I did. She is basically the best teacher that I could have hoped for in the 6 months or so that I’ve been studying with her. Both her English and Japanese are basically native, and she understands the eccentricities of both languages. I highly recommend her, as long as you don’t take my preferred lesson slots. :)

This was my very first class with Taeko せんせい! I’m very impressed how much I learned in such a short time! She was very well prepared and explained everything in an easy and understandable manner! :) I’m patiently waiting for my next lesson with her! ありがとうございます:D
