A Nationally Certified Japanese Teacher with Over 1,300 Lessons of Experience ***【登録日本語教員】 I am a professional Japanese teacher with over 10 years of experience, dedicated to helping students master practical, real-life Japanese. Many of my students are repeat learners who have chosen to study with me for years, and I am grateful for the strong skills and friendships we have built together. I believe that language and culture are deeply connected, so I love sharing all aspects of Japanese culture in my lessons—whether it’s delicious food, unique traditions, or the latest trends in Japan. This makes every lesson lively, engaging, and relevant to everyday life. Before becoming a teacher, I graduated from university and worked in the marketing department of a Japanese apparel company. This background allows me to support students who are planning to travel to Japan and who want to learn business Japanese. After getting married and having two daughters, I decided to pursue my passion for teaching and began studying to become a Japanese teacher. I earned my teaching qualification in 2016, and since then, connecting with learners from all over the world has become my greatest joy. I always strive to create a warm, friendly atmosphere in my lessons, making each session feel like a relaxed conversation rather than a formal class. For me, teaching Japanese is much more than just a job—it is my true calling and a source of real happiness in my life.

Akiko is a wonderful teacher and I have learned a lot working with her! She teaches just enough new material each lesson and makes time for review. I highly recommend learning from her.

I've had several lessons with Aki sensei, and I can say without a doubt, that she is one of the best language teachers I've had. She cross references material from several sources, and makes difficult topics easy to understand. Thank you Aki sensei!

I've been with Aki for 2 years, and my conversation skills keep improving week after week! She knows how to pace your conversation to make it both learning experience as well as fun! Really happy my husband found her, and both of us are loving it with her.
