AKEMI

Akemi先生 is a wonderful teacher. She’s methodical, encourages conversations and explains things clearly. Akemi先生 also gives you additional cultural context / tips on new vocabulary etc. Her classes are always a delight, highly recommend!

Excellent opportunity for those who want to improve your Japanese pronunciation and pitch accent. Akemi san will definitely lead you to the road to sound like a native.

Akemi Sensei is a gentle and lovely teacher of the Japanese language. I am especially appreciative of the logical structure she has created for my learning program, the slides she has carefully prepared so I can clearly understand each lesson well, and her very gentle patience, as I am a complete beginner! I highly recommend her!

あけみさんは素晴らしくて親切な先生です. いつもレッスンは楽しくて面白いです. I am learning so much with Akemi-san! I used to think I will never get past the beginning stages of learning Japanese, but Akemi-san's teaching style, patience, and thoughtfulness in every lesson I've had with her has given me motivation to continue doing my best!

I have been studying with Akemi Sensei for a month and a half to prepare for a trip to Japan that came up at the last minute, and I super-highly recommend her! I barely knew any Japanese at all, yet in a short time, she has taught me grammar and language structure as well as the most useful words and phrases needed for travel. It would be impossible to speak at any level of fluency in such a short amount of time, but thanks to Akemi’s focus and thoughtfully designed lesson plan, I now feel completely confident approaching any travel situation with the Japanese she has prepared me with. There is absolutely no way I could have done this on my own with a language app!! Also, as I told her how much I love ice cream, she created for me a pdf with pictures and descriptions of recommendations. Now I am looking forward even more to my trip! Arigatou gozaimasu, Akemi-sensei!

Although I have only just started lessons with Akemi-Sensei, I am very impressed with her kind and professional approach. I had an unexpected and sudden offer to travel with a friend to Japan in only one month. I was nervous about what I could learn in such a brief time, but my fears were quickly laid to rest as Akemi-Sensei went right to work laying out a wonderful one-month curriculum. I now feel confident that I will succeed in traveling with a comfortable knowledge of Japanese thanks to this lesson plan! And already in our first lesson, Akemi-Sensei has taught me many important key travel phrases. I am very happy to have found her!
