Yusuke

Founder & Teacher

I'm Yusuke, a professional Japanese teacher. Many learners feel nervous speaking Japanese — I understand, because I learned English as a foreign language myself while living in the Philippines and New Zealand.

If you are a beginner, I can support you in English whenever needed — and help you use real Japanese with confidence in everyday situations.

Yuma

Co-founder & Teacher

I'm Yuma, Yusuke's childhood friend. I teach 100% in Japanese — like studying abroad in Japan, a natural environment to absorb the language.

I love gaming, so we can practise conversation through games too. Don't worry about mistakes — by making them together, you'll speak more natural Japanese.

Student reviews

Loved by learners around the world

Real words from students across more than ten countries — many of whom have passed the JLPT and now speak with confidence.

From the moment I said 'Nice to meet you,' I felt I'd get along well with Yusuke-san. He speaks clearly and he's an amazing teacher. We studied JLPT N2 grammar together, and thanks to him, I passed in December. Would I recommend him? Of course!

Albert

I started lessons with Yusuke for Japanese speaking practice and it has been so fun! Yusuke is always good at keeping the conversation interesting — his English is quite good as well. I always look forward to our lessons!

Griffin

Every lesson has been amazing! He doesn't just teach from the textbook, he shares how Japanese is really spoken in daily life. His classes are well-structured, fun, and motivating, and I can truly feel my progress every week!

Alejandra

I've been studying Japanese with Yuma while playing Minecraft and it's incredibly fun! I'm actually using Japanese in a real context which makes it stick better. Yuma explains everything clearly even though it's all in Japanese!

Thomas

France

Yusuke is great for learning natural Japanese conversation and is perfect for beginners since he speaks English. Currently taking lessons with him using Minecraft and it has been a blast — it touches on aspects not covered by usual lessons.
