Akihisa.K

I've taken nearly 30 lessons with Akihisa-Sensei now, and we've recently finished the first textbook. I was scared to take Japanese lessons at first because of my busy work schedule and not having a lot of time/energy to study. Akihisa encourages mistakes and happily makes corrections as needed. He provides extremely detailed homework/study sheets after each lessons and can easily switch lesson formats as needed. I would have never had the confidence to continue learning as an adult if it had not been for Akihisa. If you're considering taking Japanese lessons trust me- if you go with Akihisa-sensei your investment will be worth it!

I am finishing my last lesson package with Akihisa-san, and I can safely say he is the best teacher I have ever had at Italki. First of all, the flow of the class is very good, Akihisa-san natrually slows or speeds up the conversation depending how the conversation is going. I also feel confident on taking risks with more difficult sentences, since his in-class feedback is very good, it doesn't stop the flow of the conversation, but helps you understand the point you missed. Also after every class Akihisa-san sends me a very organized and useful feedback with relevant lesson points, like grammar or vocabulary I missed, or that he thinks will help me out. For sure will continue with the classes, since I feel my japanese has improved since I started my lessons.

Another good lesson! We talked about some Japanese bands this time. There are still plenty of things I have a hard time saying in Japanese, but Akihisa-san is always willing to teach me the necessary words or phrases. He also helped me practice some grammar I was struggling with as well, which was constructive.

Akihisa先生 is a great teacher that really helps me get better in speaking, grammar, vocabulary and gaining confidence in outputting Japanese. He encourages me to speak a lot by asking good questions and being a patient listener. His explanations are easy to understand and the feedback and homework afterwards is super valuable. It also helps to have some common interests like the NBA and movies :) I highly recommend Akihisa先生 and looking forward to many more lessons!

I had a great time learning Japanese with Akihisa-san. The lessons are clear and easy to understand and but he is more than willing to explain further if there is something that isn't clear the first time around. I appreciate that he's also very patient with me trying to form sentences as I definitely needed the practice. TL;DR: I highly recommend taking lessons from Akihisa-san

ありがとうございました。楽しかったです。 Once again, the lesson was excellent. The flow of the lesson and the topics covered were spot on. Each lesson feels tailored to my needs, which I really appreciate. Akihisa-san is an outstanding teacher. I'm already looking forward to the next one!
