Hello,

My name is Takumi. I was born and raised in Kawasaki city in Japan. I was working as a gardener and plumber in Japan and I was not interested in language at all. I never wanted to travel to a foreign country since I was only able to speak in Japanese and I was afraid to speak in a foreign language. But When I travelled to Malaysia with my family in 2015. Everything's changed. I was shocked that Malaysians can speak 3 languages! Bahaya Malay, English, either Chinese or Tamil depends on their race. I was ashamed of my language skill but at that same time I was eager to improve my language skill. Of course, it has not been easy for me to do that. So I can understand struggles in learning Japanese and how I may be able to support you. If you have been struggling to learn and improve your Japanese, feel free to contact me.

I have finished my science degree and I have experiences in gardening and plumbing. And for teaching side, I have 10 years of experience in teaching Japanese and I have taught a varity of people. My youngest student is 6 years old who was a primarly school and my oldest student is 60 years old who was a vice president of a big tech company. Althought thier needs and goals were vary, I have been successfully met my students' needs whether it is to communicate their primaly schoolmates or it is to give a presentation in Japanese in a large audience. I am confident that I am able to help any students.

I will discuss a goal and talor my lesson plan to meet the needs a student has.

e.g. If a student will travel to Japan for a holiday. I will only use romanisation and focus on travelling Japanese.

but if a student will stay in Japan for a year. I may teach how to read Japanese characters and focus on basics and practical Japanese.

I will provide a worksheet after each lesson to help my students to work on particular thing.
