Akane Sensei

Akane-sensei has been teaching my son Japanese for several months now, and he looks forward to lessons! She is a friendly, encouraging, engaging teacher and he even loves doing her homework. Thanks to Akane-sensei, my son is now teaching me Japanese. She definitely makes learning Japanese fun! ありがとうございますあかね先生！

My son loves having lessons with Akane, I believe it is genuinely one of the highlights of his week. He looks forward to his Japanese lesson all week. Akane is so positive and encouraging and shares so many interesting things with him. She's also very open to feedback and tailoring the lessons to have more or less of a focus on different things like the Japanese characters as you would like. Thank you Akane, you are a wonderful teacher!!

I was not able to book lessons with Akane Sensei as consistently recently due to some unforeseen circumstances in my personal life, and I've been waiting for an opportunity to do that again. It really was a joy to be able to talk to her again. She was her usual adorable, playful, and sweet self, and she was very patient with me throughout the lesson as always. My Japanese conversation with her flowed really well tonight too. I kinda cried after the lesson ended and I immediately booked another one for next week. I look forward to seeing her again :'o)

I am lucky to have found Akane-sensei to teach my son a month ago. She is a genuine professional teacher with a talent for imparting and nurturing Japanese language skills, and her lessons are an enjoyable and valuable part of his education. He speaks in Japanese throughout her lessons, and he has made noticeable progress already.

I am a 20-year immersion teacher with 3 immersion schools. I knew this was the right teacher for us, and I am confident she will bring my child to fluency over the many years to come. My child is 4 and did great. She really knows what she is doing for an immersion teacher, as I could tell easily from her videos. Parents - trust her and don't ask for translations. It's immersion and it works. : )

Great sensei, just what we needed. Flexible and fun with kids!
