Akiko

Akiko Sensei is kind, intelligent, and so patient. She is a wonderful teacher. She patiently and professionally helped me through numerous mistakes I made as I tried to speak. As we conversed, she produced a google doc, documenting my mistakes with corrections, as well as grammar points and vocabulary, so that I could study them later. She was careful to make sure I understood each. She also used excellent prepared materials to review the grammar points with examples. She encouraged me, and I felt really comfortable despite my obvious weaknesses. Her communication skills were excellent and I was surprised how well I could understand her. The most surprising thing is that in each class, we both laughed several times! I wasn’t expecting her wonderful personality and sense of humor. Yes, I actually had fun. Her gentle style of teaching is perfect for me. I’m really fortunate to have her in my corner! I know she will help me succeed in improving my Japanese.

Akiさん's grammar lessons are super clear and easy to understand, with tons of exercises in class, so it was easy for me to remember and practice along the way!

Akiko San is so much fun to talk with and always very patient and helpful when I make a mistake. She is very good at teaching, a true professional.

Akiko San is a perfect Japanese conversation partner. She is always extremely well-prepared for the lesson, explains things well, and has a warm and kind personality. These three things together make for a wonderful one hour of conversation.

Tonight was another enjoyable class and I learned a lot of new vocabulary. Aki-san is always delightful to work with and is an excellent teacher. She is patient and very encouraging. I am looking forward to our next lesson.

It is good to be back with my lessons again. Aki-san and I had a very good lesson together. It is always an enjoyable time and I am making progress. I am looking forward to next week.
