Naoyuki Matsumura

Hello! My name is Naoyuki Matsumura, and I am a native Japanese speaker who has lived in Japan for over 20 years. I am currently studying at a university in the UK and have experience as a volunteer Japanese tutor. My lessons are designed especially for intermediate and advanced learners who want to take their Japanese skills to the next level.

Lesson Format & Structure
Each lesson is tailored to the student's level, interests, and learning goals. I offer structured yet flexible lessons, ensuring that you not only improve your Japanese proficiency but also gain cultural insights along the way. My lessons are interactive and engaging, focusing on:

Conversational practice (casual and formal speech)
Grammar refinement and sentence structure improvement
Pronunciation and intonation correction
Reading comprehension using articles, short stories, and real-life materials
Discussion of Japanese culture, history, and current events
Business Japanese and honorific expressions (Keigo) for professional learners
I use various resources, such as real-life dialogues, articles, videos, and tailored exercises, to make learning enjoyable and effective. You can also bring your own topics or questions, and I will guide you accordingly.

Why Choose My Lessons?
Having grown up in Japan, I have a deep understanding of the language, traditions, and cultural nuances that textbooks often do not cover. My lessons go beyond just language acquisition—I help my students understand how Japanese is actually used in real-life situations. Whether you want to improve your fluency, prepare for exams, or deepen your cultural knowledge, I am here to support you.

Let’s learn Japanese together in a fun and immersive way! I look forward to meeting you in class.
