Issei Tsuruta Japanese
No reviews yet

Hello! My name is Issei. I’m a native Japanese speaker based in Makati, Philippines, offering lessons focused on real, practical, and natural conversational Japanese. My teaching style is highly interactive and tailored to your specific goals—whether you want to sound more natural in daily conversations, polish your pronunciation, or truly think in Japanese. Being fluent in English allows me to clearly explain grammar, subtle nuances, and cultural context that are often hard to grasp from textbooks alone.

Have you studied Japanese for years but feel like your progress has plateaued? Passed JLPT N2 or even N1, yet still hesitate when speaking with native speakers? Maybe you can already communicate well, but want to refine, maintain, or polish your Japanese so it stays sharp and natural. I also work with fellow Japanese teachers who want to master pronunciation, nuance, and the “why” behind the language.

Is Japanese hard to master? Honestly, yes—it’s one of the most complex and "deep" languages in the world. But with the right method and a tutor who understands both sides of the language, it becomes far more intuitive and achievable than you might expect. My lessons are tailored to your specific goals, challenges, and current level, so every session moves you forward with clarity and confidence.

Let’s make Japanese enjoyable and effective together.
