About Takekuni

Hello, my name is Takekuni, and I am a Japanese tutor with a strong academic background in language education. I am currently studying English language education and second language acquisition at Waseda University. Through my studies and tutoring experience, I have developed a deep understanding of how languages are learned and how to support students effectively.

I have experience working with students from different linguistic and cultural backgrounds, and I focus on creating clear, structured, and supportive lessons. My goal is not only to teach Japanese but also to help students feel confident using the language in real-life situations. I carefully prepare each lesson according to the student’s level and goals, whether they want to improve conversation skills, study grammar systematically, or prepare for exams.

In addition to Japanese, I can communicate in English and Korean, which helps me explain difficult concepts clearly and understand the challenges language learners often face. I always aim to maintain a professional and respectful learning environment where students feel comfortable asking questions and making progress at their own pace.

I take my responsibility as a tutor seriously and strive to provide reliable, well-prepared lessons that help students steadily improve their Japanese skills.

About the lesson

Teaching Method and Techniques
My teaching approach focuses on communicative and practical language use. I aim to help students develop the ability to use Japanese naturally in real-life situations while also building a strong foundation in grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation. I adapt my lessons to each student’s goals and learning style, using conversation practice, structured exercises, and cultural context to make learning engaging and effective.

Typical Lesson Plan
A typical lesson usually includes:

Warm-up conversation to review previous material and build speaking confidence.

Introduction of new vocabulary or grammar, explained clearly with examples.

Guided practice, such as role-plays, sentence building, or reading exercises.

Communication practice, where students apply what they learned through conversation or short tasks.

Feedback and review, including suggestions for improvement and optional homework.

What Sets Me Apart as a Tutor
What sets me apart is my multilingual and cross-cultural background. I speak Japanese, English, and Korean, and I have experience studying and working in international environments. This allows me to understand the challenges language learners face and explain Japanese in ways that are clear and accessible for students from different backgrounds. I also focus on helping students build confidence in real communication.

Who the Lessons Are For
My lessons are suitable for:

Beginners who want to start learning Japanese

Intermediate learners who want to improve conversation and grammar

Students preparing for the Japanese Language Proficiency Test (N5–N3 level)

International students who want to improve their Japanese for studying or living in Japan

I met sensei through the SuperProf platform when I was looking for help with translation and Japanese learning. He is a very flexible, communicative, and reliable teacher. He explains things clearly and adapts well to the student’s needs. We worked together on a translation task, where he carefully checked and improved my work. His feedback was detailed and helpful, and communication throughout the process was smooth and efficient. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a dependable and supportive tutor. He is professional, easy to work with, and genuinely committed to helping students improve.
