My weekly Happy Conversation lessons with Aki Sensei have become a really important part of my study routine. It’s funny how it works - on any given week I often feel like I’m struggling but I can look back to a few months ago and see how much progress I’ve made. Her infinite patience with my clumsy Japanese is much appreciated, and she always gives me enough time to work out what I want to say. She is clearly a gifted and experienced teacher and I’m really glad I found her on this site!

Today was the first lesson with Aki sensei, it was a great lesson! She prepared cards with different topics, such as: - If you could tell something to all people on the Earth, what it would be? - If you have a chance, would you go to the Mars? - What book made the biggest impression on you? I think its a great way to make lesson, every time we can pick different themes and discuss it. Your Japanese level will be improved much faster if you will speak on different themes everytime, in this way you can broad you vocabulary, and also you can heard what Sensei thinks about that, which is very interesting as we all have totally different backgrounds, and that that we can talk about anything online while studing language its just great. Thank you Aki-sensei, looking forward to the next lesson with you!

She is really Aki Happy for a reason. She makes the class so joyful and enjoyable. You can attend anytime anywhere.

Aki-Sensei is an excellent teacher. She is attentive to the student and makes the lesson fun and engaging. She also made sure to communicate very well before the day of lesson to get to know a little about my daughter and made the lesson fun for her. Thank you so much! If you book with this teacher, you will not be disappointed! We will book again.

Today’s lesson was a lot of fun as always. I’ve been working with Aki Sensei for over two years and these lessons have really evolved with my ability but have always been exactly the right kind of lesson for me at the time. It’s really a statement about Aki Sensei’s ability to adapt and meet her students at whatever level they are at. In the early days I could barely speak a complete sentence and now I probably talk too much (🤐), but each lesson has been exactly perfect for me. I think output is the hardest part for most language learners but Aki Sensei makes it fun and gave me the courage to keep trying!

I’ve almost done 50 classes with Aki now and it’s always been an enjoyable experience! Aki is always well-prepared and on-time. I’m very happy with our classes and it’s been a massive help in my learning of Japanese. Class time is always a welcoming place to learn and has made me much more comfortable in trying to improve my speaking ability. I’d absolutely recommend Aki!
