Kozo The Translator

It’s very nice to have lesson with my teacher Kozo. He’s very nice and patient. We love to have more lessons with him and recommend italki to friends!

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.

We worked more on reading and writing kanji in sentence form.

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!

I've now completed 10 lessons with Kozo せんせい and I am very happy with his way of teaching. I started learning Japanese from absolute scratch and we have just finished looking at hiraganas (with a lot of vocabulary to reinforce the learning) and started katakana. I appreciate the rhythm, which is not too fast, yet there is constant progress. Kozo is always encouraging and has a great sense of humour which makes the lessons fun. The lessons are very well structured and with screenshots provided of every point seen during the lesson, it's easy to go back and review. I am looking forward to next lesson! ありがとうございます

Worked on more reading and writing of Kanji. I'm getting better with the writing part, but the speaking and reading is still a bit hard for me. But like with anything else, it'll get better with time.
