You learned grammar enough but perhaps can't speak fluently with native Japanese.
So let's practice natural Japanese conversation with me!

Education
2016 - 2020
Bachelor’s - 国際文化在学時代は、国際関係、政治、経済、社会文化など、様々な学問について学びました。
卒業論文は、"Suicides Among Young People and Engaged Buddhism (日本の若者の自殺と社会参加仏教)"というテーマで、優秀論文に選ばれました。
Work Experience
2019 - 2020
営業大学在学中から、正式に入社し退職するまで約一年間勤めました。
仕事内容は、ゲストハウスのフロント業務、接客、予約管理、清掃、プロモーションなどです。
あらゆる国の方と接し、お客様が口に出して求めている顕在ニーズと、表には出さないけれど求めている潜在ニーズを見極める、ということを学びました。
例えば、寒い日はこちらからブランケットの貸し出し可能なことを伝えたり、昼間でもゲストハウスにいる方には積極的にキッチンが利用できることを伝えたり、ということです。
さまざまな国の方と接する上で、在学中に学んだ言語についての仕事がしたいと決心し、日本語講師を目指す過程で、退職しました。
Italkiで日本語を教える上で、ビジネス日本語のメールや会話を例にあげることができます。
さらに、在職中に学んだ、顕在ニーズのみならず、潜在ニーズを提供するということで、どの箇所で困っているのか、改善が必要なのかを見極め、提供することができます。

Teacher’s pick
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!

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 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.

As usual, Akihisa-san's classes are great !
It's a good mix of learning, discussion and challenge.
Also the topics he chooses are diverse and always interesting.
Looking forward to the next lesson.
