Hello! My name is Koji. I live in Arizona and have been teaching Japanese for 5 years. I speak English and am also studying Chinese. Learning a language is hard, but let's work together to make it enjoyable and effective.

Just had another great lesson with Koji-sensei! We talked a little bit about sports, Chinese New Year, and also the differences between manners in the US and in Japan. I really enjoy Koji's teaching style of having one grounding topic to shape the lesson around - having a little bit of structure really allows the conversation to flow, and I learn new words in the process! Thanks again!

Koji-sensei has been fantastic! His casual style of teaching makes lessons feel very relaxing and help me build confidence in developing my conversational skills. Every lesson feels fresh, and he does a great job making them feel like natural dialogues while also providing clear instruction on improving vocabulary and grammar. He also includes all the notes from the lesson in a structured doc which makes it convenient to refer back to and review later on. I'm looking forward to continuing to take these lessons!

Koji-san is great to talk to. He is very well prepared and always on time. He strikes a great balance between having structured material to work from and allowing casual conversation to flow naturally. He doesn't make me feel self-conscious about mistakes, and he makes it easy for me to study what we have talked about outside of the lesson with a shared Google doc.

Had very accessible conversation practice and went over common phrases! Was very easy going but still made corrections to my speech that was highly appreciated

Today Koji-sensei and I went over how to apologize and express gratitude in formal emails! It’s something I’ve definitely looked up on the internet before since I’ve been learning more 敬語, but it’s beyond helpful to go through this stuff with a live teacher. 本当に助かりました!
