I live in Fukuoka , located in the south of Japan. I also lived in Tokyo for a long time, so I speak standard Japanese, but I can also teach the Fukuoka dialect. Fukuoka dialect is the most popular dialect in Japan and has been ranked No.1 as the dialect men want their girlfriends to speak! I love going out and discovering new things. Enjoying delicious food and watching movies are also some of my favorite activities. I am passionate about teaching and dedicated to helping learners build the skills and co If you feel embarrassed or afraid of making mistakes when speaking Japanese, I encourage you to take my lessons! I promise a very comfortable and enjoyable learning experience. 😊✨

Akiko Sensei is kind, intelligent, and so patient. She is a wonderful teacher. She patiently and professionally helped me through numerous mistakes I made as I tried to speak. As we conversed, she produced a google doc, documenting my mistakes with corrections, as well as grammar points and vocabulary, so that I could study them later. She was careful to make sure I understood each. She also used excellent prepared materials to review the grammar points with examples. She encouraged me, and I felt really comfortable despite my obvious weaknesses. Her communication skills were excellent and I was surprised how well I could understand her. The most surprising thing is that in each class, we both laughed several times! I wasn’t expecting her wonderful personality and sense of humor. Yes, I actually had fun. Her gentle style of teaching is perfect for me. I’m really fortunate to have her in my corner! I know she will help me succeed in improving my Japanese.

Akiさん's grammar lessons are super clear and easy to understand, with tons of exercises in class, so it was easy for me to remember and practice along the way!

Akiko San is a perfect Japanese conversation partner. She is always extremely well-prepared for the lesson, explains things well, and has a warm and kind personality. These three things together make for a wonderful one hour of conversation.

Akiko-san is ery supportive and easy to learn with. She explains grammar clearly and always adapts to your level. I’m really grateful for her help — I passed JLPT N5 thanks to her lessons. If you want to learn Japanese I highly recommend to do it with Akiko sensei.
