Hi I'm Ryota.
I was born in Japan and grew up in Osaka then move to Tokyo when I graduated university.
Recently I have changed my career to be a Japanese teacher from working at Japanese company as a sales & marketing for 10 years.
I used to live in Netherlands ,Singapore and Malaysia and met many people interested in Japan. That is the reason why I became a Japanese teacher !!
Me as a Teacher
I'm certified Japanese teacher and I have been teaching Japanese since 2009 on italki. I always enjoy teaching and seeing my students improve their Japanese.
I am a teacher but I have been studying English and Spanish so I fully understand the difficulty to learn other languages.
As I have lived in Tokyo for about 10 years I speak standard Japanese other than Kansai dialect ( 関西弁).
I also speak English and Spanish other than Japanese.
So don't worry if you have trouble understanding Japanese I can also explain in English as well.

Ryota-Sensei offers concise and clear explanations of Japanese grammar, delivered in a calm and patient manner. He was very helpful in identifying a learning approach that suited me, showcasing his strong skills in structure, organization, and analytical thinking. I highly recommend him to anyone eager to enhance their Japanese skills. I'm looking forward to my next lecture with him.
