Kozo The Translator

My first lesson with Kozo was amazing! Such a lovely person to speak to and I felt so happy to learn with Kozo. He goes at your pace and knows exactly what you need. I could never wish for a better sensei with learning Japanese, it was delightful! Looking forward to the next lesson!

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 on vocabulary in tonight's lesson. I need to work I remembering them and writing down the ones that I can't remember at least ten times.

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!

Going over vocabulary flashcards Lesson 2-1 during this lesson. It was a short (30 minute) class that was aimed at doing more when I can either every week or every other week. I need to work more on my vocabulary.

In this lesson we went over more Knaji reviewing and then moved onto the differences between on-yomi and kun-yomi. I really enjoy my lessons with Kozo-san and I'm thinking aobut taking one 90 minute class every month starting in June.
