💬 Voices from Learners

I've studied with Kentaro for 4 months and my Japanese has improved a lot. After a long break from college, I didn’t know where to restart—until I found Kentaro. He’s patient, supportive, and explains clearly. His international experience was also a big plus for me!

I highly recommend Kentaro as a Japanese teacher. He's friendly and makes me feel confident speaking in Japanese. I appreciate that he explains things in Japanese first, switching to English only when needed. Our lessons are always engaging, and I’ve learned a lot about Kansai vocabulary and culture through him.

Kentaro is a great teacher—I would know, as I’ve been a teacher myself for 7 years! He listens patiently, lets students finish their thoughts, and adapts his explanations to their level. If you're serious about learning, his lessons are worth every minute—and more.

Kentaro’s classes are always interesting and fun. I study with him 3 times a week after work, and he always keeps me motivated. I’ve seen steady improvement in my Japanese over time. He’s a great teacher and I highly recommend him—6 out of 5 stars!

Kentaro is a brilliant teacher. After just a few months of lessons, I now feel much more comfortable speaking. His sessions are fun and mix conversation, grammar, and cultural learning. He’s always patient and reviews what I forget. I truly recommend his lessons!

I've been taking N2-level lessons with Kentaro and love how he uses real media and custom materials. He explains grammar clearly and helps with difficult sentences. I especially appreciate how he writes down new words so I can review later. Highly recommended for serious learners!

🌍 My Language Learning Journey

When I first started coaching basketball in Africa, my English was so poor that the students weren’t interested in talking to me.
I felt frustrated every day, but I made it a habit to say at least one sentence in English to someone.

As I kept trying, communication slowly became easier, and my relationship with the students started to improve.

In the end, I realized something important — language is a tool. Without that tool, I couldn’t build anything.

If you want to improve your Japanese, the key is daily effort.
Even just a little progress every day is powerful. Taking lessons regularly, staying motivated, and facing your struggles head-on — that’s what truly matters.

If you’re just starting Japanese or feeling stuck, I hope this story encourages you.
Keep going, and you’ll soon discover a bigger world through language. 🌱✨
