About Nobu
I’m from Tokyo and have spent about one year living abroad in total (study, travel, work trips) in Australia, Asia, and Europe.
I love the gym, marathon running, music, piano, travel, and language learning. I’ve visited more than 20 countries ️
I enjoy talking with people, so let’s learn together in a relaxed and fun atmosphere!
Recommended for:
- Complete beginners who just want to speak Japanese and enjoy it — very welcome!
- Intermediate learners who want more conversation practice
- People who want to enjoy travel or studying abroad even more
- Anyone needing practice for job hunting, work in Japan, or job interviews
- Learners preparing for the JLPT (N5–N1)

*My strengths as a teacher
- Lessons available in English or Japanese
- Study-abroad experience in France and Germany, plus experience learning other Asian languages
- A comfortable environment where mistakes are welcome
Lessons tailored to your pace
- Practical tips based on my own experience learning multiple languages
Above all: have fun, use your ears and mouth, and engage all your senses
I’ve learned English and other languages myself since junior high, so I understand both the difficulty and the joy of language learning.
Through Japanese lessons, I’ll fully support you in becoming the person you want to be.
Let’s start with a trial lesson — tell me your goals, and let’s enjoy learning Japanese together!
- I’ve taught a wide range of students — from France, various African countries, overseas residents, people living in Japan, students, and working professionals (from beginner to upper-intermediate).
- In graduate school, I studied Japanese language education, learned methods for correcting Japanese writing, and supported international students in presentation-based Japanese classes.
