A native from Osaka, helping you learn Japanese

“I enjoyed it and looked forward to every lesson. I feel like I can hold a conversation more steadily. Even if I was unsure about what to say, I just decided to continue the conversation. Ryusei listened to my concerns and was able to give me constructive feedback while helping me build my confidence.”

“Now I string thoughts together in Japanese instead of translating in my head, and I don't freeze up nearly as much. The sessions were a real chance to practice in real time, and everything felt super personalized. Anyone who wants to improve their Japanese should absolutely sign up.”

“Tyson Sensei is a remarkable teacher. It had been more than 13 years since I studied Japanese in college, and within a couple months, I felt like I regained everything I learned. I've been studying with him for over 3 years now, and I look forward to the lessons every week. He will customize the lessons to whatever you're trying to do, whether it be the JLPT, conversational Japanese, culture, beginner, Kansai dialect, etc. He gives very positive and constructive feedback, and will guide your practice outside of the lessons so that you're always learning. Do yourself a favor and book a lesson with him, you won't regret it.”

“Ryusei-sensei is hands down the best Japanese tutor I’ve ever worked with! He recently taught me hiragana, and for the first time, I feel like I finally understand the foundational stepping stone to Japanese. He is a highly motivated teacher with great ambition, and he does an incredible job of helping you truly understand the language. He even creates Instagram videos that directly correlate to the lessons we discuss, which is amazing for review.He is an incredible teacher and a fantastic find I highly recommend him! Just keep in mind that you have to be willing to put in the work to see results. To stay on track, I also love using the Laifu app on days when I'm just doom-scrolling. Even a quick 10-minute practice makes a massive difference!”
