Hello! I'm Aki. I have been teaching on italki for four years and have a high number of repeat students. I developed my teaching skills and techniques from experience with my students. I'm friendly, patient and have been told I'm very easy to talk to and good at encouraging language learners to talk a lot.
Ik als leerkracht
I have several years of online Japanese teaching experience. I have helped my students with their job interviews, JLPT preparation, and also essay writing. I particularly enjoy helping with conversation skills using natural expressions. I take a learner centred approach and use a communicative style in which students have a lot of speaking practice.
Mijn lessen en manier van lesgeven
My teaching style is generally informal and friendly. However, I will certainly correct your Japanese and help you with vocabulary, grammar and explanations during our sessions so that you will gain as much as possible. If you would like to go through any textbooks or learning materials with me, please let me know. Also, I am available for offline corrections. Please refer to the course 'Lesson for Special Requirements' for your specific requirements.
* Before your first lesson, please fill in my contact form with brief details of your requirements in either Japanese or English.
** Please choose Skype as a communication tool when booking your lesson.

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 just got back from Japan and Aki's lessons have really helped me to grow at my ability to speak and understand Japanese. I could not have made this progress without her. I have learned so much about grammar, vocabulary and natural Japanese. Plus studying with Aki keeps me motivated. And she also gives great recommendations for art supplies stores! ありがとう!

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!

Another great lesson with Aki talking about bagels, and how we eat: chopsticks, utensils and hands! She's always so much fun to learn from!
