Wasn't sure if I would find a tutor to help me in learning Japanese. Glad I came across Verbalplanet. It was worth it and I had fun learning.

He has a good understanding of the Japanese level of the student and has a good teaching pace. In the whole, I'm very happy about my choice.
Although I'm from Japan, I'm currently living in France. I like riding horse, movies, travel, also alcohols very much!
Especially, I enjoy having dinner and a drink with my friends every weekend.
I have taught foreign people Japanese and provided them conversation practice! Also I had studied Japanese literature so I can provide you with the correct Japanese expression lessons, the polite way of speaking Japanese, daily conversation lessons..and so on!
Therefore, I'd like to help you study Japanese on Verbalplanet!
I can also speak English, so please don't hesitate to ask me about anything in English if you want to do it in my lessons!
I'd be very glad to help you learn Japanese!
