Hi there! I'm Ako, and I'm excited to have fun conversations with you as your Japanese teacher. I've been involved in theater, both performing and writing scripts. My experience winning the Toyota Short Play Festival means I can show you how to make your Japanese really connect!
Plus, with my corporate background, I'm great at teaching business Japanese and natural, everyday conversation.
I'm passionate about travel and music, and I've explored over 10 countries.
Let's learn Japanese and have a blast discovering cultural differences together!
Ich als Lehrkraft
I also have experience learning foreign languages, and I consider the following when teaching:
1. I'll ask about your goals and needs to provide the best possible lessons.
2. I aim to create a relaxed and enjoyable learning environment.
3. For beginners, we'll focus on building the joy of speaking Japanese together first.
4. For intermediate learners who want to improve their pronunciation and intonation, I'll teach "Actor's Method."
5. Lessons will progress at a pace that suits you.
6. I'll leverage my extensive corporate experience to teach you authentic business Japanese.
Meine Stunden und mein Unterrichtsstil
1. All lessons are for ages 18 and above.
2. For your first lesson, please book 30 minutes. Tell me about your needs and requests.
3. You can request me the conversation speed. Very slow, Slow or Normal.
4. Lessons are basically in Japanese only. I use basic English if you need help.
5. I'll make sure you feel relaxed and at ease during our lessons.
Thanks for your cooperation

Ako-Sensei has been extremely helpful during our lessons. Before, I didn’t have any experience in speaking Japanese; however, with Ako-Sensei, we speak in Japanese all the time and I am being much more confident. If I make any mistakes or have any questions, she is happy to explain in an easy to understand way to me. I would greatly recommend Ako-Sensei if you want to become better with your speaking!

Since starting with Ako-Sensei, with have been able to talk about a variety of things; I didn't realise all the different topics I could talk about until I started learning with Sensei. I am becoming more confident thanks to these lessons. Thank you Sensei!
あこ先生とレッスンを始めてから、色々なトピックをはなせて、レッスンを始める前にできるのを信じられませんでした。自信になります。先生、ありがとうございます。

I was very nervous before the lesson, but Ako made it very easy and fun! She celebrated every time when I was able to understand her and answered her question. I think she is a great teacher and I will keep following her!

今日も素晴らしいレッスンでした。色々なトピックについてたくさん話せました。タメ口で話せたいので、先生は僕に話してくれました。上手になると思います。頼みを聞いてくれてありがとうございます!
Today’s lesson was great again. I was able to talk about a lot of different topics. Since I want to be able to speak casually, my teacher spoke to me in casual language. I think I’ll get better. Thank you for listening to my request!
