Tatsuki Deguchi

My name is Tatsuki Deguchi, and I’m a native Japanese speaker with a deep passion for language education. I spent over 8 years teaching English at high schools in Japan, working with students of various levels and helping them gain confidence in communicating in a second language. That experience taught me how powerful and rewarding language learning can be—and now, I want to share that joy with Japanese learners around the world.

I offer friendly, flexible, and practical Japanese lessons for learners of all ages and backgrounds. Whether you are a complete beginner, preparing for the JLPT, planning a trip to Japan, or seeking to improve your conversation skills, I will tailor each lesson to match your goals and pace.

I strongly believe that language and culture are deeply connected, so I incorporate cultural context and real-life expressions into my teaching. This not only makes learning more enjoyable, but also helps you communicate more naturally and meaningfully in Japanese.

My lessons can include:
• Speaking and listening practice
• Grammar and vocabulary explanations
• Reading and writing (hiragana, katakana, kanji)
• Japanese GCSE
• JLPT preparation (N5 to N1)
• Japanese culture, traditions, and everyday etiquette

Above all, I aim to create a comfortable, encouraging learning environment where you can ask questions freely and enjoy the process of learning. I adapt to each student’s needs and goals — no two lessons are exactly the same.

Ganbarimasho! Let’s do our best together!
