Masae is making tutoring sessions fun and exciting. My son is learning Japanese at his own pace. I recommend Masae for anyone who wants to learn this language.
Daniel S.

35 Japanese lessons

To find a teacher with such a deep understanding of the language who can also give you a lot of added value such as insights on Japanese behavior and customs is rare. We even met at a Japanese book store, and he helped me pick books! I enjoyed every lesson we had can not stress enough how much those lessons improved my Japanese. I highly recommend you choose Shinsuke as teacher like I did and ended up with a teacher who is also a friend.
