Akihisa.K

I've taken nearly 30 lessons with Akihisa-Sensei now, and we've recently finished the first textbook. I was scared to take Japanese lessons at first because of my busy work schedule and not having a lot of time/energy to study. Akihisa encourages mistakes and happily makes corrections as needed. He provides extremely detailed homework/study sheets after each lessons and can easily switch lesson formats as needed. I would have never had the confidence to continue learning as an adult if it had not been for Akihisa. If you're considering taking Japanese lessons trust me- if you go with Akihisa-sensei your investment will be worth it!

I am finishing my last lesson package with Akihisa-san, and I can safely say he is the best teacher I have ever had at Italki. First of all, the flow of the class is very good, Akihisa-san natrually slows or speeds up the conversation depending how the conversation is going. I also feel confident on taking risks with more difficult sentences, since his in-class feedback is very good, it doesn't stop the flow of the conversation, but helps you understand the point you missed. Also after every class Akihisa-san sends me a very organized and useful feedback with relevant lesson points, like grammar or vocabulary I missed, or that he thinks will help me out. For sure will continue with the classes, since I feel my japanese has improved since I started my lessons.

ありがとうございました。 今日もとても興味深い授業でした。地震のお話をシェアしていただき、ありがとうございます。実は地震を経験したことがないので、どんな感じか想像するのが難しいです。本当に怖いでしょうね。また来週もよろしくお願いします。 ___ Another excellent class with genuinely interesting topics. The grammar explanations are always clear and thorough, which makes complex points much easier to grasp. I especially appreciate how Akihisa-san explains everything in Japanese — he makes sure you fully understand before moving on, which I really like.

Akihisa先生 is a great teacher that really helps me get better in speaking, grammar, vocabulary and gaining confidence in outputting Japanese. He encourages me to speak a lot by asking good questions and being a patient listener. His explanations are easy to understand and the feedback and homework afterwards is super valuable. It also helps to have some common interests like the NBA and movies :) I highly recommend Akihisa先生 and looking forward to many more lessons!

ありがとうございました。今日もとても楽しかったです。ジョジョのS3を見ます。ジョジョの日本語は大げさだけど、面白いですね。 サンクチュアリも面白いそうなので、見てみたいです。また来週もよろしくお願いします。 _____ Another great class as always. Akihisa-san has a real talent for making the conversation flow naturally while keeping everything clear. I always learn something new, not only about the Japanese language but about Japanese culture as well.
