Hello. I'm ako. I'm a Japanese tutor living in Japan.
I used to study staging performances.
I have acted in musicals and plays, and the script I wrote won the Toyota Short Play Festival.
I love beautiful Japanese language.
I used to work in a lot of Japanese companies.
I'm sure my life experiences will be helpful in your authentic Japanese language studies.
My hobby is watching musical plays and traveling.
I have been to various countries, and I 'm interested in various cultures.
I love singing, dancing, and teaching Japanese.Me as a Teacher
I have passed the Japanese Language Teaching Competency Test.
I am currently teaching at a homely class in Japan
There are about 20 students from 10 countries. Their levels are different, I enjoy teaching them.
I used to study staging performances, so I use Actor's Method in my lessons.
I also use a lot of role-playing and gestures.
It makes me happy to see students who were previously unsure of their pronunciation and could only speak in a low voice become able to converse confidently using the Actor's Method.
Online lesson is my new challenge.My lessons & teaching style
1. All lessons are for ages 18 and above.
2. You can request me the conversation speed. Very slow, Slow or Normal.
3. Lessons are basically in Japanese only. I use basic English if you need help.

We read over some difficult sentences today and Ako is good at correcting my pronunciation and providing examples. She always encourages me a lot! Thanks so much Ako!

Japanese numbers are very hard but Ako has been helping me patiently along the way.
I enjoy reviewing what was taught before in casual conversation. Ako is good at linking new materials with previous lesson materials so that I am not just learning separate things.
Thank you Ako! Dekida!
