🔹Certified Native Japanese Experienced Coach!🔹Mastering Japanese and Speak Like A Native Japanese!

Welcome! 😃👋🏻 My name is Toshi. I was born in Hiroshima City and raised in Tokyo, Japan. I am a Los Angeles US-based certified veteran NATIVE Japanese language instructor/coach/mentor with over 20 years of experience.

I teach people of all ages from all over the world, through online platforms. Anyone who knows me knows that I am an enthusiastic teacher and serious when it comes to Japanese language matters. Manners ARE part of the Japanese language. I will teach you Japanese manners first.

I’m living in Los Angeles (in the Valley) CA, USA for more than 30 years. (PST). I have students from the USA, Australia, Canada, Singapore, Italy, Germany, New Zealand, Türkiye, Greece and Japan. Several of them were accepted into Japanese University Study Abroad programs and high school foreign exchange student programs. Also, my many students passed the JLPT exam (N5 - N1) ( see pictures below) and got an opportunity to work in Japan! 🇯🇵 I am so proud of them and so grateful to help them achieve their dream and become successful in their life.

I can give you information about J-POP. anime, drama, and traditional Japanese songs as well. We can have fun with those, too.

Whether you are a beginner or an advanced student, I can tutor you in private lessons on your computer. I give a fun lesson and work to teach the precise and gentle true Japanese way in a friendly and open-minded one-on-one session via Zoom.

However, I also teach business Japanese, mastering speech styles from polite, humble, and honorific, super polite language, and respectful verbs. This is necessary for improving your personal and business relations! I am here to assist you!

    Ive been taking lessons with Toshi for almost two years now, and have enjoyed every lesson weve had. Toshi does a great job at teaching the full spectrum of Japanese: grammar, vocabulary, hiragana/katakana/kanji, and the differing forms based on level of politeness in a conversation.

    Toshi is fantastic. My 11 year old daughter has learned so much in just one months time, with only one 45 minute lesson per week. He is kind and patient, and when she gets off topic, he knows how to reel the student back in to the Japanese lesson at hand! Definitely recommend Toshi Sensei!
