Ryosuke Imanaka

Hello! I’m a 24-year-old native Japanese speaker currently based in London. I have worked as a fashion model in New York, Los Angeles, Tokyo, and London, which has given me a unique international perspective and strong communication skills.

What I offer is not just formal, textbook-style Japanese. Instead, I focus on real, current, everyday Japanese—especially the kind of language used by Gen Z in daily conversation, social media, and pop culture. If you’re interested in understanding how Japanese is actually spoken today, not just in textbooks, then you’re in the right place!

My lessons are casual, friendly, and fully customized to your goals. Whether you want to improve your speaking, understand slang, learn how young people talk in Japan, or just chat with a native speaker to build fluency, I’ve got you covered. I believe language learning should be fun, engaging, and deeply connected to culture—and that’s exactly what I aim to deliver in each session.

All levels are welcome, from complete beginners to advanced learners. I teach in a relaxed one-to-one format, and I always adapt my pace and style to match your needs. Let’s explore modern Japanese together!

If this sounds like what you’re looking for, feel free to reach out. I look forward to chatting with you soon!
