Review by Garret
"I had a wonderful conversation with Toshi for our first session. He goes beyond teaching the basics of the language by also talking about the cultural con
texts as we briefly discussed the history of Japan and its society. He’s a great teacher."

Review by Sandra McCormack
"I had a great first lesson with Toshi sensei! He is fun and friendly and is very well organized. We talked about his plan for me going forward and I am co
nfident that the rest of our lessons will be just as great as this one. I am excited because he seems to really understand the struggles of someone that is studying Japanese and how frustrating it can be. I would definitely recommend him to other students. :) 楽しかっただよ！"

Review by Brandon
"Toshi-sensei is a very kind-hearted teacher who is very supportive of learning Japanese, helps with any goals you want to accomplish with the language and
culture, is clear on making sure your pronunciations are correct, and is able to answer any questions one might have. What I like most is how supportive he is, so if you're struggling with a certain area he makes sure you don't feel discouraged and works with you to constantly improve. I really enjoy lessons with him and would recommend to anyone interested in learning Japanese."

Review by Vivian
"I am preparing JLPT N1 right now and Toshi is always understanding and never gets frustrated during our lessons. He is very helpful. I feel like the tutor
ing time is used very productively, he goes through grammar points one after another and lets me practice exercises for each one, making full use of the 60-minute lesson so I learn very fast. He helps you find the easiest way of doing things."

"I've been studying with Toshi for a year. He is a fun and awesome teacher. Since I've been with him I not only am learning Japanese, but Japanese culture
as well. I know how to read and write in Japanese and now I'm being instructed within our lessons in Japanese. Since its something that interests me and is very fun the lessons just go by so fast. I'm hoping to study in japan when i go to college for a semester or two. Thank you Toshi."

With a degree in Voice studies from the Los Angeles College of Music, and 15 years of coaching, I am able to give my students the understanding of the voice as an instrument and the importance of practicing to acquire the skills that are required to maintain longevity as a singer.

About Sheila
I have earned a Bachelor of Music in Vocal Performance from the University of Redlands. As a professional singer, I have performed in numerous concerts and operas. I've sung in both choral and solo settings, as well as fully staged productions. Throughout my education, I have played piano and even participated in Certificate of Merit testing. These experiences have all helped shape me into a well rounded singer.
In lessons, I devote equal amounts of time to technique and repertoire. We will always begin by warming up, and working on some exercises. Then we will implement your new techniques into your repertoire, which I will tailor to your specific needs and wants.
Above all, though, I want to help you realize your dreams as a musician! Looking forward to getting started!

I was born and raised in Vancouver, Canada by Japanese parents. I was privileged with different kinds of learning opportunities including piano, Japanese language, ice skating, ballet, skiing and martial arts. After high school I attended university where I majored in Piano performance.
Over the last 10 years I have tutored all ages for piano and Japanese and learned how to be patient, persistent and to just be able to adjust and accommodate to different kinds of learning styles and abilities. I realized that it’s important to have a structure in your teaching styles and have clear expectations, standards and goals. Making certain modifications to your teaching styles along the way is crucial as well to meet individual student needs.

I am a native Japanese speaker with a Japanese teaching credential. All ages and levels are welcomed! Lessons are customized and catered to the needs/goals of each student. I am also qualified to tutor graduate students (Master’s and PhD) doing their thesis.
I believe when we learn other languages, it is important to learn their culture, history, etc. for better understanding. I’ve learned Japanese drums, how to wear Kimono, Tea and flower ceremonies so that we can explore Japanese culture more than just learning the language!

I have been in love with language my whole life. This led to learning and studying English for the past 30 years. In learning English I rediscovered my love of Japanese language as well. I would like to share my enthusiasm for Japanese language with you.

I earned my teaching credential from Kochi Women's University in Japan and a Master's in Intercultural communication from Kobe University, Japan.
During graduate school days, I worked as a tutor for international Master's and PhD students to assist them on their theses in Japanese. After I moved to Los Angeles, I started my career in the corporate world, and have worked in the US, Canada and Japan for last 15 years. In Canada, I taught Classic Japanese and Chinese Poetry at Toronto Japanese School as a high school teacher.
