About Ricky

Hello! I’m Ricky, a professional Japanese tutor.

I bring you **authentic, real-world Japanese** from my hands-on experience in film translation—carefully tailored to your level.

Whether you're preparing for the JLPT or looking to boost your conversation skills, you’re in the right place.
I’ve taught over 3,000 lessons, helping students achieve goals like passing exams, getting promoted, and moving abroad.
I can explain everything in English too, so beginners can feel comfortable and confident.

Every lesson is customized using original materials and my unique teaching method.
I adjust the content based on your goals, skills, and learning style.

What makes my lessons unique:

**Real-world film translation background**
Learn natural phrases, expressions, and vocabulary you won’t find in textbooks.
・RAVENS feature film Vestapol 2024
Transcription in English of Japanese dialogues of RAVENS

**Focus on pronunciation and intonation**
You’ll develop clear, natural-sounding Japanese that gets your message across.

**Full support for JLPT, grammar, and interview prep**
From N5 to N1, I explain clearly and take the time to answer all your questions.

**Lessons available in English**
I use English explanations and comparisons to deepen your understanding—ideal for international learners.

**Global perspective and teaching experience**
Having lived and taught in the UK, Poland, the Philippines, and France, I support learners from many cultural backgrounds.

Language is a tool—and the most important thing is making yourself understood.
Let’s take each step together, at your pace.
Send me a message, and I’ll help guide you to your goal.

This is a lesson for who wants to speak fluently and correctly with confidence!

If you are a beginner, i have exercises to help you introduce yourself

Discovering new vocabulary using powerpoint > pronunciation practice, writing practice and creation, short QA creation

The joy of teaching and learning from children at the same time
In this age of diversity, we want to develop the value of multilingualism.
My style of teaching is to listen to the children's opinions and to adapt to each child's needs.

Perfect! Rikito is an absolutely fantastic teacher. He helped me cross over from N3 to N2 in less than a year. He has various presentations and videos, but the best part is the relaxed atmosphere and conversations, this helped me break out of my shy shell and actually speak Japanese A LOT more with increasing confidence - which is the whole point :) Could not recommend Rikito enough!

Perfect! If you're looking for an excellent and reliable Japanese tutor, look no further! Rikito knows how to tailor lessons to your individual needs, whether preparing for the JLPT exam or improving on speaking, reading, grammar, etc. Rikito is also a very accommodating and patient teacher.

He is very skilled at keeping his students motivated, lessons are well-paced, and I've significantly improved my Japanese with him as my teacher. His lessons are fun, engaging, and well thought out, with original materials that he tailors to each student.

Thank you for the first lesson.
We gave you a trial of N5 grammar.
You have conveyed what you want to say and your use of particles is excellent.

Next time we will work on N5~N4 grammar and teach you some new phrases!

I highly recommend Rikito sensei for those who want to learn and bring their Japanese to the next level. If you are after boosting conversation skills or preparing for JLPT or actually understanding nuances of Japanese grammar, whatever it is, Rikito will get you covered! I always personally struggle with applying new words/ expressions and grammar to practice and then making sure that I use it frequently enough to make it sink in my head. That is why am so glad that Rikito creates an environment where he proactively encourages students through exercises, conversations and fun games to do so. Besides, he is an extremely understanding and patient tutor, he has a very fun personality and you get to know more about cultural differences too! I feel confident that with Rikito I can become more fluent in Japanese across all aspects, vocabulary/ kanjis, grammar, speaking and listening!

Perfect! Rikito is a very reliable Japanese tutor who can tailor lessons to your individual needs. If you're thinking of taking the JLPT exams he will make sure you are well prepared. He can also help you in improving your speaking, reading, grammar, etc using his own original materials. Rikito is also a very accommodating and patient teacher. Whenever I've struggled with a particular section, he's always been encouraging and kind, making things easier to understand. He is very skilled at keeping his students motivated, lessons are well-paced, and I've significantly improved my Japanese with him as my teacher. His lessons are fun, engaging, and well thought out as he clearly tailors them to me. Rikito also helped me to prepare for my recent trip to Japan by teaching me essential phrases, and providing other language tips which really helped me survive for the three weeks I was there! I'm more confident in my ability and look forward to studying and improving with Rikito. ありがとう先生！！
