Kozo The Translator

Kozo is definitely one of the best Japanese language teachers you could find in Italki.He is professional, patient and enthusiastic about teaching. I enjoyed every lesson with him ! He offers lessons adaptable to students with different levels ( I was a total beginner when I started lessons with him) His teaching methods are effective and unique, he prepares materials carefully for each lesson and kindly answers all my questions. Because I need to improve my Japanese in all four elementary skills as well as the culture knowledge, so we have covered almost everything in Japanese learning. But if you have some specific requirements for your language studies like speaking practice, grammar, writing or anything else, you could find the suitable classes for you with Kozo. I highly recommend Kozo to anyone who is interested in Japanese language learning.

I have had the pleasure of learning from Kozo sensei for the last 6 months and over 50 lessons. He is a very good teacher, always patient and kind to you and never makes you feel bad for making mistakes. I encourage anyone who prefers a softer style of teaching to take lessons with Kozo sensei because he will make you feel comfortable enough to continue studying. The main highlights of his classes are: 1) Always fun classes, keeps you motivated to continue 2) Does not stress you out 3) Always supportive 4) Well prepared, with topics to study and/or books to follow 5) Individual tailored teaching 6) Not strict / casual style 7) Flexible and doesn’t follow rigid structures 8) Can change topics to whatever you’re interested in It was very much fun learning from you Kozo sensei, thank you very very much for the time you’ve spent with me.

We went over vocabulary words/pharses for the upcoming section and then worked more on section 2 of the textbook.

If you’re new to Japanese you’ll love starting Kozos class. This was my first lesson with Kozo and I loved it! He is a perfect teacher for beginners like myself. Upon booking he reached out and introduced himself in a personable way. I let him know my goals to practice conversation I’ve learned from my outside studies. During the meeting he’s very patient and came prepared. I’m amazed how quickly he was able to establish my level of conversation skills and adapt, as some other inexperienced tutors I found myself confused often. Thank you and I look forward to continuing to learn and practice with you!

Worked more on vocabulary in this lesson and then more in the textbook.

Kozo is amazing and is a great teacher! He provides so many examples and guides me in the lessons so well that I feel like I’m really growing in Japanese each time I have his class. Highly recommended!
