Let’s learn Japanese together in a fun, enjoyable, and sustainable way!
I’m a father of a two-year-old boy, and I teach Japanese every day. I have living in Australia for 7 years. While I was a university student, I came to Australia with a working holiday visa and worked at a Japanese restaurant. During the time, I taught Japanese to people from various nationalities. Let’s enjoy expressing and understanding the Japanese language together.

Lessons are generally based on topics that interest the student, also genki textbook. I can cover a wide range of subjects including anime, games, music, drama, sports, and travel. Of course, I’m also happy to teach using textbooks you have.

In Japan, it is said that words carry a soul—this concept is known as kotodama. Let’s study Japanese together and explore not only the language, but also the rich culture and enjoyment that comes with it.

"It was great to learn Japanese with assistance of Takanobu Nakajima. Not only was he great at understanding what I wanted from our lessons, he helped me understand what I would need to do outside of the lesson to fully develop my skills for the future. Takanobu's kind and enthusiastic attitude is exactly what I need. I can't wait for my next lesson."
