About TAKESHI
I'm a third-year student at Sophia University, currently studying in Montreal as an exchange student at McGill University's Desautels Faculty of Management. Alongside my studies, I teach Japanese on campus, which has given me hands-on, day-to-day insight into where students tend to struggle and what teaching approaches actually work.
I grew up living abroad with my family, moving between Japan and Thailand and navigating the language and cultural shifts that came with it — an experience that gave me genuine empathy for the difficulty of learning something new. I'm a fluent, native-level Japanese speaker, and I bring practical teaching experience to match: alongside my current role at McGill, I previously worked part-time teaching Japanese to young students back in Japan.
Drawing on this multicultural background and hands-on teaching experience, my lessons go beyond language mechanics to build real, usable understanding — combining the precision of a native speaker with the perspective of someone who has taught learners of all ages.

Course Overview
This course focuses on live, practical Japanese — not textbook Japanese, but the kind of language you can actually use in real conversations. Using a communication-based approach, lessons prioritize natural expression over rote grammar memorization, so you leave each session able to actually use what you learned, not just recognize it.
What I Teach
Pronunciation — Building correct intonation and rhythm through hands-on practice, not just repetition
Reading — Using manga as reading material alongside level-appropriate texts, so you build reading fluency through content that's actually engaging — not textbook filler
Listening — Training your ear for natural-speed conversation, the kind you'll actually encounter outside a classroom
Typical Lesson Structure
Each lesson opens with a warm-up conversation, introduces new expressions in context, uses manga to explore reading and vocabulary in a natural setting, moves into role-play or simulation-based practice, and closes with a quick reflection — so you finish every session knowing exactly what you can now say that you couldn't before.
What Makes Me Different
I'm a Sophia University student currently on exchange at McGill's Desautels Faculty of Management, where I also teach Japanese on campus — so I have real, current insight into where learners actually get stuck. My time living in Thailand also gave me a genuinely cross-cultural lens, meaning I teach language alongside the cultural context that makes it click.
Best Fit For
Beginner to intermediate learners who enjoy learning Japanese through anime, manga, and pop culture, and want practical, usable conversation skills — not just grades on a worksheet.
