About us

Born in Tokyo, Japan in 1965 (OMG, now 59 years old already!!!)
19 years in Singapore(PR holder) with a wife and two daughters(and 4 cats).

In October of 2004, I started teaching Japanese as a volunteer at the Japanese association, and I found that teaching is fantastic and fun.
While working as a sales and marketing manager in a certain Japanese company,  I found myself studying Japanese Language teaching methods.

In 2006, I started working as a Japanese teacher at one of the Japanese language schools, part-time, once a week on weekends.

Then in 2000, I started environmental machinery import business but liquidated in 2002, while continuing as a part-time teacher.

in 2007, I started working as General Manager in a certain Japanese company,
where at this point I have started teaching part-time twice a week, with additional private tuitions and started teaching at other schools as well.

In 2010, I started Japanese restaurant with friends in Anchor Point Shopping Mall,
but closed in 2011 February.

In 2011, I started wellhands partnership to become the No.1 Japanese tuition agency in Singapore. I have also started creating my own packaged Japanese textbooks which are currently at use in 3 schools in Singapore.
(If you would like to know which schools, please email me!!!)

Hi everyone! Thank you for taking a look at my profile. My name is  Shu. I was teaching Japanese in the Philippines. The students who were teaching were studying Japanese to go to Japan and work. And now they are actually working in Japan.

Before becoming a Japanese teacher, I worked at City Hall. When you live in Japan, you probably go to the city hall and ward office many times. I was consulting foreigners about taxes and health insurance.  I would like to tell you what I felt at that time. People who are very good at Japanese, people who have come to Japan but cannot speak Japanese at all. There were all kinds of people. Many foreigners could not understand because they were speaking the wrong Japanese. However  foreigners who studied at school and online were able to speak correct Japanese with accurate grammar and pronunciation.

I can teach you the Japanese and business etiquette necessary for business. Let's learn together the Japanese you need to succeed in business.  I look forward to teaching with you. If you don't understand, please ask as many questions as you want. I'll wait~.
