As an experienced teacher, I am approachable, friendly, and patient. My students often mention how comfortable they feel during our lessons, encouraged by my natural ability to work with them in an open teaching environment. If you're looking for a committed, long-term learning journey with someone who is genuinely interested in your linguistic progress, then I'm the teacher for you!
Ik als leerkracht
I have several years of online Japanese teaching experience. I have helped my students with their job interviews, JLPT preparation, and also essay writing. I particularly enjoy helping with conversation skills using natural expressions. I take a learner centred approach and use a communicative style in which students have a lot of speaking practice.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My teaching style is generally informal and friendly. You will have conversation-based lessons and after each lesson you will receive feedback and lesson notes to review what you have learnt. I do not take a traditional language learning approach. Instead of relying on textbooks, we practise sentence patterns so that you can say what you want to say in natural Japanese. Student motivation is essential for these lessons. Come and enjoy practising Japanese with me.
* Before your first lesson, please fill in my contact form with brief details of your requirements in either Japanese or English.
** I do not use the Italki classroom, so please choose Skype as a communication tool when booking.

If you are looking for not only an incredible teacher, but also an incredible human, Aki-sensei is the person you're looking for. I've studied with many teachers on italki, and no one makes me feel more comfortable. She is patient, great at continuing a conversation, an expert at explaining unknown Japanese words/ phrases in Japanese, and most importantly she makes me more passionate about learning the language.
My lessons with Aki are primarily conversation practice-based. However, I have provided vocal lists or grammar points that I have struggled with in the past and she was able to explain them and integrate them into our conversation practice.
I think if you are seeking conversation practice and to build speaking confidence (like me), Aki is the best teacher for you.

I am really impressed with how intuitive Aki-san is- she always picks up on the things that I'm struggling with, even if I don't realize what they are. Then she knows exactly what to do to help me improve. Additionally, she does all this while still having a fun and engaging conversation! ありがとうございました!また次のレッスンを楽しみにしています!

Really fun lesson with Aki talking about putting bands on birds for scientific research, how fragile birds are, and areas in the world that have only wildlife and no human civilization. Such a fun lesson with Aki learning new vocabulary, information about areas in Japan with wildlife, and having a really great conversation!

Great lesson talking about apartments in NY vs Tokyo, living in small apartments, having debt and living paycheck to paycheck, and how large the inequality gap is these days. I had such a fun lesson with Aki learning new vocabulary and comparing life experiences!
