About Me
Testimonial from a current student
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.
I am an experienced Japanese Language teacher who has been providing one-to-one and group based tuition to non-Japanese people in London and nearby areas 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 also have a network of other Japanese teachers within London. I can recommend them when I can not offer you suitable classes.
