Aki

Another awesome lesson with Aki! If you need to improve your Japanese and want to have an incredibly fun time then she’s your go-to teacher for both progressing and enjoying the language journey you’re embarking on!

If you are looking for not only an incredible teacher, but also an incredible human, Aki-sensei is the person you're looking for. I've studied with many teachers on italki, and no one makes me feel more comfortable. She is patient, great at continuing a conversation, an expert at explaining unknown Japanese words/ phrases in Japanese, and most importantly she makes me more passionate about learning the language. My lessons with Aki are primarily conversation practice-based. However, I have provided vocal lists or grammar points that I have struggled with in the past and she was able to explain them and integrate them into our conversation practice. I think if you are seeking conversation practice and to build speaking confidence (like me), Aki is the best teacher for you.

I am really impressed with how intuitive Aki-san is- she always picks up on the things that I'm struggling with, even if I don't realize what they are. Then she knows exactly what to do to help me improve. Additionally, she does all this while still having a fun and engaging conversation! ありがとうございました！また次のレッスンを楽しみにしています！

Great lesson with Aki talking about different kinds of bugs that are scary looking but not dangerous as well as insects you need to watch out for, moving, and everything in threes! Always a really great time with lots of really helpful vocabulary, feedback, and sayings!

Great lesson with Aki talking about my recent move, the types of neighbors I’ve had and currently have, and backing up out of driveways! As always it was an incredibly fun lesson with lots of new vocabulary and examples. I always love sharing and exchange life stories with Aki!

Great lesson with Aki talking about a recent visit with family, nosy neighbors, and moving. I had such a great lesson with Aki with really great laughs, new vocabulary and commiserating over the trials and tribulations of Skype!
