Hello! My name is Aki, and I live in Hiroshima, Japan.
I have over 7 years of experience teaching Japanese, mainly to beginner and lower-intermediate students.
I enjoy meeting people from different countries and helping them feel comfortable speaking Japanese.
My lessons are friendly, relaxed, and focused on communication.Me as a Teacher
I have studied English myself, so I understand how difficult learning a new language can be.
That is why I focus on explaining Japanese grammar in a simple and clear way.
I love conversation, and I always try to create a class atmosphere where making mistakes is OK.
Learning should be fun, not stressful.
My goal is to help my students gain confidence and enjoy using Japanese in real life. My lessons & teaching style
