Aki

Another awesome lesson with Aki! If you need to improve your Japanese and want to have an incredibly fun time then she’s your go-to teacher for both progressing and enjoying the language journey you’re embarking on!

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！

Great lesson talking about neighbors, awkwardly running into people, brand loyalty, and taking notes by hand vs a screen. It was a really fun time with great laughs, conversation and helpful notes!

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.

Great lesson with Aki talking about taking care of plants, avocado trees, never having enough time, and people who love roughing it. Each lesson with her is always so much fun and full of really helpful and useful notes!

Great lesson with Aki talking about dusting, kitchen appliances we want but don’t have space for, and how sweaty it is during summer! It’s always a great time when talking with Aki! Fun conversation and very helpful notes and examples!
