ako-san あこさん

Today, I started Chapter 3 of Quartet with Sensei and so was looking at more complex grammar. There was some grammar that was similar to others, but Ako-Sensei was able to explain to me the nuances between them so I can use each grammar point more naturally. Thank You Sensei!

I was very nervous before the lesson, but Ako made it very easy and fun! She celebrated every time when I was able to understand her and answered her question. I think she is a great teacher and I will keep following her!

This week, I was able to attend a Japan Festival and because of my lessons with Sensei, I was able to talk and understand the Japanese there. Today, I was able to talk with Sensei about my experience and she taught me about some of the things I saw there. Thank You Sensei!

This was my first lesson with Ako-san, and it was great! I was hoping to supplement my book work with live conversation with a native speaker and that is exactly what I got! Ako-san gauged my speaking ability and kept the conversation at that level (and a little higher for the the challenge of it.) It felt great, gave me a little more confidence and left me feeling ready to do it again ASAP! Her demeanor is perfect, she makes every effort to make you feel comfortable during the lesson and takes notes on new words (or words used incorrectly) for you to review after the lesson. Excellent job!

どうもありがとうございます! ^^

Today, on top of going through the textbook with me, Sensei also taught me about about Japanese clothing such as different types of Kimono and how/when they are used. Sensei always adds to our lessons in fun ways outside of the textbook we are studying. Thank You Sensei!
