Interest topicTravelTechSports & Fitness
I'm Akiko. I was born and raised in Kobe, next city to Osaka. Now I'm living in Tokyo with my family.
I like jogging, working out at the gym, and watch TV shows and movies on the Internet.
I have taught Japanese to Australians, but I did it only for a short period of time.
I lived in Australia for three years. During my stay, I learned how to communicate with people with different cultural backgrounds.
I love travelling and want to visit various countries.
I'm very looking forward to talking to my students from various countries.
Me as a Teacher
I have taught Japanese to Australian university students, kids and adults while I was living in Australia, but I'm not a licensed teacher.
I know how difficult it is to master a language. Now I'm fluent in English. I can share how I master the language with you.
My lessons & teaching style
I'm good at keeping conversation flowing and making it fun. I also like to talk about serious issues. I can talk about anything under the sun.
I'm fluent in English. I can conduct my lesson in English to explain Japanese expressions.

Akikosan is very patient with my beginner’s Japanese. She speaks excellent English so she helps me when I get stuck on vocabulary. I really enjoy our lessons and recommend Akiko for a teacher or conversation partner.

Another great lesson with Akikosan. Akikosan is very knowledgeable and smart. She broke down a complicated sentence which I obtained from an online Nihongo site. She also clearly explained why the sentence did not fully make sense. I highly recommend Akikosan. Akikosan, kyou arigatougaimashita. Takusan benkyou ni narimashita. "tokoro o miru to" ha muzukashii desu kedo ishokenmei benkyou wo shimasu! Otagai yoku undo shimashou!

Akiko is a very cheerful, talkative, easy going person and conversation developed naturally. Her English is also excellent so if you need something explained to you in English or if you're not at a conversational level yet, you'll have no problem talking to her. She is also a language learner herself who has been taking online lessons for a long time, so she is familiar with the struggles you might be going through. Today was my first lesson with her and I had a lot of fun! ^^ Do not pass up the opportunity to book her lesson. Thank you for today and see you next time!
