Multilingual and native Japanese tutor
I have majored in Western Literature (primarily American and British novels) and have also studied French as well as Latin in college. After I moved to the U.S., I learned Korean, Spanish and other languages. While my passion is to continue learning various languages, I love to share Japanese culture and language with people from different cultures.

Superb tutor!
I am planning on taking the JLPT in December and will be doing some consulting work in Japan. I sought Noritaka-sensei's help in preparing for the test as well as learning to communicate effectively in Japanese. After 11 lessons, I wholeheartedly recommend him. He is a native Japanese speaker and has studied several languages. His English is fluent, and he understands how to master a language. His teaching style is personable and flexible, and his knowledge of grammar and linguistic fine points is exceptional. I searched diligently for an excellent tutor, and I am very happy I found Noritaka 先生. I look forward to working with him for many more lessons. Whatever level of Japanese instruction you need, Noritaka 先生 is an excellent choice!

Understanding Student's needs
Noritaka-san is very patient in explaining the key areas to focus during the lessons so that it is easy for me to retain in my mind. Thank you so much Sensei.

Great first lesson
I thoroughly enjoyed my first lesson with Sensei Noritaka. He has an easy manner and is very clear and logical in his approach to introducing a learner to the various Japanese alphabets and their nuances. I’m very excited for my next lesson

Super nice guy and patient.
Off to a great start in our first lesson. Encourages questions and is open enough to just laugh and enjoy our time in the lesson. Will be continuing my Japanese language education with him. Would definitely recommend him to any beginners.

Awesome Teacher
のりたか先生 is very thorough with his teaching and very patient. He explains things carefully. Five star for sure. I have been working with him for half a year now and will continue to do so.

Great teacher
Due to the similarities of Korean and Japanese, I was looking for a tutor who could speak both languages. Noritaka can speak English and Korean fluently, so he mixed them in during my lesson for better explanations on certain things I had a difficult time understanding. I highly recommend!

Flexible with your needs
He is a great teacher. Having studied some Japanese before I still retained some of what I learned and he is working with me to reinforce and make sure I know the basics. So that I one day can aspire to be fluent in Japanese.

Very Helpful Session!
I really enjoyed my first lesson with Noritaka Sensei. It has been a long time since I studied Japanese and I feel like I'm well on my way to improving my Japanese language skills. I'm very much looking forward to the next session!

conversation & grammar practice.
Worked on grammar that I’ve learned but don’t normally use. This has helped me bring it more into my conversation.
