I am truly enjoying learning Japanese with Kozo せんせい. After learning the hiraganas and katakanas, we have now moved to basic vocabulary and very simple sentence building. Every lesson is fun and rich in content, I feel listened to and able to ask questions without judgment. Starting to learn Japanese was one my resolutions for 2026 and I am so happy I did. ありがとうございます

I have had the pleasure of learning from Kozo sensei for the last 6 months and over 50 lessons. He is a very good teacher, always patient and kind to you and never makes you feel bad for making mistakes. I encourage anyone who prefers a softer style of teaching to take lessons with Kozo sensei because he will make you feel comfortable enough to continue studying. The main highlights of his classes are: 1) Always fun classes, keeps you motivated to continue 2) Does not stress you out 3) Always supportive 4) Well prepared, with topics to study and/or books to follow 5) Individual tailored teaching 6) Not strict / casual style 7) Flexible and doesn’t follow rigid structures 8) Can change topics to whatever you’re interested in It was very much fun learning from you Kozo sensei, thank you very very much for the time you’ve spent with me.

Continued my lessons in the N5 book while doing the N4 for book on my own and asking Kozo-san questions here and there when Ii get stuck.

If you’re new to Japanese you’ll love starting Kozos class. This was my first lesson with Kozo and I loved it! He is a perfect teacher for beginners like myself. Upon booking he reached out and introduced himself in a personable way. I let him know my goals to practice conversation I’ve learned from my outside studies. During the meeting he’s very patient and came prepared. I’m amazed how quickly he was able to establish my level of conversation skills and adapt, as some other inexperienced tutors I found myself confused often. Thank you and I look forward to continuing to learn and practice with you!

We continued with my studies in the N5 book today. I'm really enoying my lessons with Kozo-san and I've recommended him to two of my coworkers that are wanting to learn Japanese asa well.

I continued with me lseeons in the N5 book in today's lesson. I was able to ask some questions for the work that I'm doing on my own in the N4 book.
