About Issy

Hi everyone! My name is Itsuki (いつき/樹). My English name is "Issy", so you can call me whichever more comfortable for you. I was born and raised in Tokyo, Japan and moved to the UK in my early 20s for my education. I have lived in the for over 9 years now. I have a bachelor's degree in Japan and a master's degree in the UK, and I have various work experiences related to my language skills, including teaching Japanese, interpretation, and translation in some companies and also as a freelancer.

Now I am a dedicated full-time tutor and constantly teaching around 20+ students. I believe I have a unique and insightful perspective in terms of language learning as I learnt English as an adult. Hence my education background was performing arts(Theatre), I have a habit to analyse contexts. The Japanese language and culture are often hyper-contextual, therefore learning the language just by itself doesn't help, but analying it deeply from lexical and grammatical similarities and differences between Japanese language and English language, and also historical/cultural etymology of the words as well as the way how we 'perceive' life are one of the most important process in order to truly understand the Japanese language.
Besides that, I genuinely enjoy meeting new people through teaching, getting to know each other and support their goal, and share my culture and language. Many of my students became an important part of my life. And I am looking forward to welcoming you as well!

I have been teaching Japanese for 7 years, since 2018. Many of my students are long-term students who have been studying with me for around 2-5 years. I believe learning the new language will change your life entirely. Because the process of learning any languages is to understand their mindset, culture and mannerism. As a successful language learner as well as a bilingual person, I guarantee you that anyone will experience the above. Most importantly, the Japanese language and the culture is exceptionally unique that you will enjoy your journey learning through it. I have taught various students for different goals. Below is some examples of my students’ goals: - Living/Working in Japan (Supporting their language studies as well as teaching some tips for living in Japan before/after they went to Japan) - JLPT preparation (Experienced in N3, N4, N5 preparation) -For business relationships ( Talking with their Japanese clients and also colleagues) - Be able to talk with their partner and their family members. - Be able to travel in Japan by themselves by learning basics - Be able to understand Japanese media

[Preparation for travelling in Japan] I have a prepared curriculum for future travellers. If you can spare at least 4-5 months, you can start communicating with people in Japan while travelling! Why don't you try since you want to maximise your experience to be the greatest?

[For students who are planning to take JLPT exams] I will provide you with original exercises for each grammar you will need to master for the exam, as well as using several materials for JLPT exams to get ready for the exam. I have experiences in preparing N4 and N3 exams with my students.

[Preparation for moving to Japan] I'm experienced in teaching students who moved to Japan to begin their new life, whether as an expat or for working holiday. I can tell you more "live" and practical methods in your earlier stage of study to be able to communicate and get along with people in Japan. Also, I would give you some practical tips for life in Japan such as going to a shop/restaurant, writing email, job interview and more.

[For beginners and intermediate level students ] - I can provide you with a textbook called "Genki" for beginner level students. We will go through the textbook together and I will add some useful tips. Each time you will have some homework that I make it for you. [For advanced students] I can provide you with a reading text that develops your reading skill and new vocabulary. If you need, I can also teach you honourable expressions. (Sonkei-go, Kenjou-go)
