Kozo The Translator

Lessons with Kozo-sensei are always great. Kozo-sensei provides a lot of opportunity for me to work on my speaking, and he is always good at helping to correct my pronunciation. Also, we spent some time talking about history and culture. At the end of every lesson, I always feel better and that i am slowly improving.

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!

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.

Tonight's lesson with Kozo-sensei was fantastic. I was able to read and repeat with Kozo-sensei, to help more with my pronunciation. Also, the material that Kozo-sensei used included some new and interesting Japanese culture for me.

Today's lesson with Kozo sensei was great! We spent time reviewing the Tobira textbook, and Kozo-sensei gave me a lot of time to practice speaking and repeating. We reviewed the て-form that we worked on last time, and then focused on some new grammar. Looking forward to the next lesson!

Today's lesson with Kozo-san, was great! I was able to practice speaking, and Kozo-san was helpful in correcting me, and encouraging too. We spent time on the て-form , which was good for me...as i need to practice it more.
