About Masahide
Hello! My name is Masahide and I am originally from Hokkaido, Japan. I currently live in Melbourne, Australia.
I have been teaching Japanese for approximately three years and enjoy helping students gain confidence in using Japanese in everyday situations.
Outside of teaching, I love traveling, exploring new cafés, and learning about different cultures. Living overseas has given me a deeper understanding of the challenges and joys of learning a foreign language.
I believe learning should be enjoyable, practical, and tailored to each student. I welcome learners from all backgrounds and am proud to provide an LGBTQ+ friendly learning environment.

My lessons are tailored to each student's goals, interests, and learning style.
For beginners and structured learners, I mainly use Genki and Minna no Nihongo. If you already have a textbook that you would like to use, I am happy to incorporate it into our lessons.
If your goal is conversation, whether for travel or everyday life, I focus on practical Japanese that you can use in real-life situations such as ordering food, shopping, making reservations, or communicating with local people.
My aim is to help you build confidence and enjoy using Japanese in a relaxed and supportive environment. I have approximately three years of teaching experience and have completed a 420-hour Japanese Language Teacher Training Course.
Lessons are available online or face-to-face in Melbourne CBD and surrounding areas.

I have been taking lessons with Masa-san for almost two years now, and I am very pleased with my progress in Japanese thus far. I managed to establish a very good rapport with him from the start and was able to communicate my specific goals in learning Japanese. I especially appreciate his insight into Japanese cultural nuances and navigations of everyday language extending beyond the JLPT requirements. He is also able to explain concepts in English really well, so that the proper context and explanations are carried across. I truly look forward to my lessons as Masa-san returns the same enthusiasm in creating lots of learning opportunities through conversations and answering all my questions in a relaxed, non-judgemental environment. I really recommend Masa-san for any level or prior exposure to Japanese/Japan. I find that I am working with not just a teacher, but also a teammate, which has been so crucial in continuing my passion in studying!!
Masahide has been my teacher for 3 or 4 years now. He is a really encouraging teacher and has really helped my confidence in speaking Japanese. I always try to say things in a complicated way; he has shown me how to build on my existing knowledge to find fluent ways of speaking. He is very kind and supportive of students, and will work with you to find the best way for you to learn.
