Trusted teacher: Hello, My name is Emi, and I’m a Japanese language tutor based in Tokyo. While working in an office, I also teach Japanese. I majored in economics at university and later spent over 20 years working in back-office roles at housing manufacturers, consulting firms, and nonprofit organizations. In 2005, I entered an art university, completed a master’s program in art studies while working, and am now writing my doctoral dissertation. I also work as a part-time lecturer, supporting students in their studies and guiding them in essay writing. About My Lessons The main goal of my lessons is to help you communicate smoothly and effectively with Japanese speakers. To achieve this, we focus on: • Expressing your thoughts clearly (speaking/writing) • Understanding what others are saying or writing (listening/reading) Customized Lessons I tailor each lesson to suit your goals, level, and interests. In our first lesson, I’ll ask you about your objectives and specific needs, so we can design a program just for you. Lessons are conducted primarily in Japanese, but I can assist in English if needed. I also have a basic understanding of Spanish, so feel free to relax and enjoy the lessons! Examples of Lessons I Offer • Practical conversation practice using natural Japanese (without textbooks) • Practice with materials like GENKI etc. • Reading news articles or short stories written in Japanese together Specialized Japanese Lessons • Japanese for the Workplace: Writing emails, communicating with colleagues and supervisors, and understanding Japanese business culture • Academic Japanese: Reading academic texts, writing reports and theses, and using language suitable for scholarly discussions (especially in fields such as art, culture, literature, society, and philosophy) My Approach to Japanese Learning My own experience of learning English and Spanish has helped me understand the depth of Japanese expressions and culture. Japanese reflects unique cultural values and ways of thinking, which often makes it difficult to translate directly. By learning about the cultural and contextual background of Japanese expressions, you’ll not only improve your skills but also use the language more naturally and effectively. That’s why in my lessons, I aim to share not only the language itself but also the cultural nuances behind it. I believe this approach can make your communication in Japanese more enjoyable and meaningful. Thank you for reading. I’m here to support your Japanese learning journey and to help you explore the language and culture with confidence and joy. If you’re interested in my lessons, feel free to get in touch!

Excellent Japanese Teacher – Highly Recommended! I had the pleasure of learning Japanese with Rito, and I couldn't be more satisfied! He is an incredibly passionate and skilled teacher who makes even complex grammar easy to understand. His lessons were well-structured, engaging, and tailored to my needs. What truly sets him apart is his patience and dedication—he takes the time to explain every detail and provides valuable cultural insights alongside language learning. Thanks to his guidance, I’ve gained both confidence and significant improvement in my Japanese skills. If you're looking for a knowledgeable, supportive, and inspiring Japanese teacher, Rito is the perfect choice! Highly recommended!

Alejandra

Super friendly and helpful, and really good at explaining nuance and differences in word use and meaning. I booked Alejandra for a Spanish lesson but as a native speaker of English I can say her English level and pronunciation is native level, highly recommended for either Spanish or English lessons!

Very patient and professional teacher with a deep knowledge about an IB programme. Unfortunately we were unable to ask him to tutor our daughter due to a scheduling conflict but otherwise we would have. Highly recommended!
