Japanese language teacherI've started teaching Japanese because my ex-husband was a foreigner. He came from Tunisia and his Japanese level was absolutely zero. But I taught him Japanese from writing hiragana and katakana. Now he's working for a company in Kobe.
I used to teach Japanese on italki around 2017. I was just a community tutor, but most of my students required me at higher level of Japanese grammar or vocabulary, not only a free-conversation. So I decided to get a certificate of teaching Japanese.

I always enjoy my lessons with Aki-sensei and feel like I learn a lot. She is cheerful and professional and the lessons are well-balanced between grammar and conversation. I would totally recommend her as a teacher !

We had a great lesson where I could train myself to explain design project I did during my job. It was a bit difficult since I don’t know enough vocabulary but Aki was here to help me and learnt me the good words to use for my presentation and how to present a design project during an interview !

Had a very productive lesson with Aki sensei today. Today we focused in all grammar points in Genki 1's Chapter 4.
There are times that I find it confusing, but Aki sensei is patient with me. And corrects my mistakes and give me some tips in how can I say it naturally.
Looking forward with my next lesson with her.

Aki-san is a wonderful classic teacher. I had a trial lesson and it was great. We practiced grammar topics that I had requested before, we also had a nice talk about daily life things. Very nice and professional atmosphere. Highly recommend the teacher.
