About
I provide Japanese language instruction to both beginners and intermediate learners, whether they are supplementing their formal studies or seeking standalone guidance. My instruction emphasizes cultural immersion, as a crucial component of learning the language involves understanding traditional customs and practices. To supplement the learning process, I incorporate musical elements to engage and expand the student's vocabulary. My educational background includes a BA in Asian Studies and an MBA in International Management from UCLA. I resided in Japan for over 2 1/2 years, living in eight different cities, to gain a deep understanding of the language and culture. Additionally, I have four semesters of experience teaching Conversational Japanese at a local junior college. I take great pleasure in instructing both adults and children who are passionate about mastering the language.

As someone who is still struggling with the fundamentals of business Japanese, I've found Steve to be an excellent teacher. While my speaking skills are decent, my kanji leaves much to be desired. However, Steve has been instrumental in helping me improve my understanding. He even created a personalized binder for me, which he thoughtfully organized into separate sections for my vocabulary, kanji, grammar, and songs. This has made it significantly easier for me to keep track of my materials, as previously I would arrive with a disorganized pile of papers in a single manila folder. I would highly recommend Steve's services.
