Akihisa.K

I've taken nearly 30 lessons with Akihisa-Sensei now, and we've recently finished the first textbook. I was scared to take Japanese lessons at first because of my busy work schedule and not having a lot of time/energy to study. Akihisa encourages mistakes and happily makes corrections as needed. He provides extremely detailed homework/study sheets after each lessons and can easily switch lesson formats as needed. I would have never had the confidence to continue learning as an adult if it had not been for Akihisa. If you're considering taking Japanese lessons trust me- if you go with Akihisa-sensei your investment will be worth it!

I am finishing my last lesson package with Akihisa-san, and I can safely say he is the best teacher I have ever had at Italki. First of all, the flow of the class is very good, Akihisa-san natrually slows or speeds up the conversation depending how the conversation is going. I also feel confident on taking risks with more difficult sentences, since his in-class feedback is very good, it doesn't stop the flow of the conversation, but helps you understand the point you missed. Also after every class Akihisa-san sends me a very organized and useful feedback with relevant lesson points, like grammar or vocabulary I missed, or that he thinks will help me out. For sure will continue with the classes, since I feel my japanese has improved since I started my lessons.

ありがとうございます。今日のトピックは勉強になりました。 一人称の話もバイトの話も面白かったです。 晃久さんの動画も見たんですけど、興味深かったです。作ってくださってありがとうございます。 ___ Excellent lesson with Akihisa-sensei. From the choice of topics to the way he corrects my mistakes, everything feels smooth and engaging. I'm really looking forward to the next lesson. Highly recommended.

Akihisa先生 is a great teacher that really helps me get better in speaking, grammar, vocabulary and gaining confidence in outputting Japanese. He encourages me to speak a lot by asking good questions and being a patient listener. His explanations are easy to understand and the feedback and homework afterwards is super valuable. It also helps to have some common interests like the NBA and movies :) I highly recommend Akihisa先生 and looking forward to many more lessons!

ありがとうございます。今日のレッスンは少し難しかったですが、晃久さんの説明のおかげで理解できました。 --- Akihisa-san is an excellent teacher! I had trouble understanding a nuance of “によって” / “による,” and he took extra time to explain it and make sure I understood. I really enjoy his grammar lessons — he helps me grasp subtle nuances that I can’t find in textbooks or on YouTube. I’m really looking forward to learning more from him!

Very patient, and has helped me to realize just how much more I need to practice speaking. He does a great job relating to my level, and has given me the encouragement to study a lot more. I look forward to many more lessons.
