In the past 4 years, I've had 90 teachers and 800 lessons on italki. Akane is my favorite. I keep putting off writing a review for her because I can't do justice to how great she is. Since we talked about perfectionism today, I'll try. Let me just list phrases that come to mind about Akane: -Encouraging -Asks good questions -Listens well -Gives good feedback -Smoothly switches between conversation and Japanese correction -Stunningly beautiful If she opens up to new students, you will be so lucky to have her as a teacher.

Akane-sensei is an incredible teacher who brings so much energy and kindness into her lessons! I think it's incredible that Akane-sensei can tailor the vocabulary that she teaches me to my personality and everyday life -- I'm always so impressed when I or her realise that I'm using words, phrases, and concepts that she taught me months ago.

あかねさんはとても優しくていいアドバイスをくれました！いつも楽しかったです！

Akane-sensei helped me WIN a Japanese speech contest! When I told her months ago that I wanted to join, she was so incredibly supportive and has been my biggest cheerleader throughout all the preparations! It’s because of her kind, warm, and also firm coaching that I was able to give an incredible performance and win first place! This is truly the biggest milestone for me in my Japanese learning journey. Thank you Akane-sensei!

Always so 親切 and patient, and could understand when I try to explain in English instead of Japanese

和老师的交谈让人愉快。在聊天过程中有一些我在日语句子中很少使用的词语，但在汉语和英语中却经常使用这些词语，所以只能用英语替代它们。但是老师懂我的意思，并且告诉了我关于这些词语在日语中正确的形式以及使用方式，这对我而言十分有用。此外，老师也能纠正很多我的错误发音，诸如促音被浊化的错误等等。老师是个十分有耐心而且专业的老师，我真诚推荐
