I am an experienced Japanese Language teacher who has been providing one-to-one and group based tuition to non-Japanese speakers in London and beyond (both online and face to face) since 2001. I am native Japanese and before moving to London, was a professional teacher working within the Japanese education system for seven years. I built on this experience and qualifications by becoming a qualified teacher in Japanese as a Foreign Language.
I provide bespoke teaching programmes in the Japanese language for both private individuals and companies in London - making it easy for you to meet your learning goals at a pace that suits you and at a location and time that suits you.
Learning Japanese is not that hard and can be great fun! I can teach you either as an individual, as a group or I can provide Professional Training courses for Companies whose staff would benefit from learning the Japanese Language.
I also have a network of other Japanese teachers within London. I can recommend them when I can not offer you suitable classes.
I came back to studying Japanese after a hiatus of 25 years. I chose Noriyuki as my teacher because I needed structured teaching from a professional. I had forgotten a great deal in the intervening years and although I had studied quite a lot, it was not to the standard needed to speak Japanese well. Noriyuki has a good emphasis both on modern Japanese as well as correct grammatical structure. He is able to explain and illustrate these clearly and shows considerable patience with the structures that I find difficult to grasp. Because I live at some distance from central London, I find it very convenient to be able to have lessons via Zoom.
My aim is to be able to use my Japanese in my work and day to day dealings in Japan. To this end I find it useful to practice listening and comprehension, something I can back up with watching Japanese films on BFI and some programmes on Netflix.
Noriyuki is a very likeable person who manages to combine formal lessons with an enjoyable range of topics and conversations. I recommend his teaching highly.
