Aki

Another awesome lesson with Aki! If you need to improve your Japanese and want to have an incredibly fun time then she’s your go-to teacher for both progressing and enjoying the language journey you’re embarking on!

I am really impressed with how intuitive Aki-san is- she always picks up on the things that I'm struggling with, even if I don't realize what they are. Then she knows exactly what to do to help me improve. Additionally, she does all this while still having a fun and engaging conversation! ありがとうございました！また次のレッスンを楽しみにしています！

Really fun lesson with Aki talking about layoffs in the US, unemployment benefits and severance packages, having a positive attitude, and difficult neighbors around the world! Always a great time with great company and helpful notes!

If you are looking for not only an incredible teacher, but also an incredible human, Aki-sensei is the person you're looking for. I've studied with many teachers on italki, and no one makes me feel more comfortable. She is patient, great at continuing a conversation, an expert at explaining unknown Japanese words/ phrases in Japanese, and most importantly she makes me more passionate about learning the language. My lessons with Aki are primarily conversation practice-based. However, I have provided vocal lists or grammar points that I have struggled with in the past and she was able to explain them and integrate them into our conversation practice. I think if you are seeking conversation practice and to build speaking confidence (like me), Aki is the best teacher for you.

Great lesson with Aki talking about how we want to use devices that older people own and people on bikes who haul a crazy amount of items! Very fun time having a great conservation while learning new vocabulary and hearing really new interesting stories!

Great lesson with Aki talking about animals that were introduced to certain areas and how they changed the environment, people who are insincere, and learning English in the Philippines! Really great lesson with very fun conversation and helpful and detailed notes after to help me commit it all to memory!
