こんにちは！Ko-n-ni-chi-wa!(Japanese follows English) I was born and raised in Tokyo, so my Japanese pronunciation is standard. I can teach correct pronunciation with the standard "Tokyo accent" to people of all ages and genders. Currently, I am living in Tokyo, Japan, but I also have experience living abroad for several years.
My hobbies include yoga, exercise, cooking, and watching movies. I am also a certified yoga instructor (E-RYT 500) and Pilates instructor, and I teach yoga regularly. My students often describe me as “fun, responsible, and patient.” If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me. Don’t be afraid to make mistakes—let’s practice speaking a lot together. I look forward to seeing you in my lessons!

" The Best Japanese Teacher I’ve Ever Had! "
- American man 🇺🇸 living in Japan 🇯🇵-
My Japanese teacher Aki. Really appreciate the great work she has done for me over this past year. I have been studying with Aki sensei for several years now and she is the easily the most thorough and thoughtful Japanese teacher I’ve ever had. She really cares about details, explains grammar well, thoroughly prepares for every lesson and even designs and checks homework as you request. As someone who works in a Japanese environment a lot, over this year in particular I’ve found myself self-correcting as I speak and producing the language smoother and smoother, even though we only meet once a week. Her lesson course has been super worth it for me, and I looking forward to continuing with it!
" 私が出会った最高の日本語教師 " (Japanese translation)
- アメリカ出身🇺🇸 日本在住🇯🇵 男性 -
私はAki先生と数年間学んでいますが、彼女は間違いなく、これまで出会った中で最も丁寧で思いやりのある日本語の先生です。細かいところにまで気を配り、文法を分かりやすく説明し、毎回しっかりとレッスンを準備してくれます。希望に応じて宿題も作ってチェックしてくれます。日本語環境で働くことが多い私にとって、特にこの1年は、話しながら自分で言い直したり、日本語がますます自然に出てくるようになったと感じています。週に一度しか会っていないにもかかわらずです。Aki先生のレッスンは私にとって本当に価値のあるもので、これからも続けていきたいと思っています。

Aki is patient!
From Canada 🇨🇦
I first met Aki-sensei in Tokyo for in-person teaching and I can still vividly remember our first language lessons of introduction, basic words and phrases, taught patiently by Aki-sensei with her kind and earnest demeanor. As I moved abroad, I've been able to continue my work with Aki-sensei online weekly, and I've enjoyed my time immensely. I've developed a stronger ability for Japanese language and a deeper appreciation for Japanese culture. She is such a lovely person, so hard working and patient to teach this amazing skill. If you are interested in learning Japanese in a straightforward,p practical manner, I know that she is the best choice. Thank you for everything, Aki-sensei!Aki老师也很耐心
From China 中国 🇨🇳
工作生活原因，学习日语是我一直以来的想法，奈何时间原因一直没有实现。突如其来的疫情，持续的在宅工作，日语学习提上了日程，2021年3月，缘分让我在网络上遇到了aki老师，我们先通过一次沟通让老师了解我的日语水平（基本0基础，只会念50音）和需求（工作和生活中使用）。然后和老师共同探讨了学习的基调和方向。Aki老师性格很开朗，上起课来很是生动。起初我的日语非常差，老师可以用英语沟通，甚至老师还懂一点点中文，老师总是用尽方法来让我明白讲课的内容。Aki老师也很耐心，因为我学习日语的年纪已经是40+了，记忆力不是很好，学过会经常忘，老师总是耐心的帮我反复讲解。为了帮我纠正外国人的日语口音问题，老师总是反复帮我纠正我的语音和语调。Aki老师针对我的日语课，是从生活的角度出发，慢慢的了解日本人的沟通方式，语音语境的变化，非常实用。每星期一个小时的日语课，让我由起初的几乎听不懂，现在也可以用日语和老师简单的聊一聊生活中的趣事了。我的目标是：可以在工作中和同事用日语沟通；在生活中可以一个人在日本旅游。我非常期待我能达到我的目标。aki老师也让我对我的目标非常有信心。在老师的悉心指导下，相信我一定会实现我的目标。谢谢aki老师，我一定会努力。
Japanese skills improve
From New York 🇺🇸
I have been taking lessons with Aki for several years and have seen my Japanese language skills vastly improve. After attempting to learn through only self study, Aki has given my learning experience focus and direction. Through my time with Aki, I have gone from knowing basic vocabulary and phrasing, to being able to hold conversations with native Japanese speakers and boosting my reading comprehension. I still have a long way to go, but having Aki as a teacher and friend has been, and continues to be, invaluable.
Amazing skills !
From U.S 🇺🇸
I first connected with Aki-sensei in Tokyo for face-to-face lessons, and I vividly recall our initial language sessions covering introductions, basic words, and phrases. Aki-sensei taught with patience, kindness, and earnestness. After relocating abroad, I seamlessly transitioned to weekly online lessons with her, cherishing every moment. My Japanese language skills have significantly improved, accompanied by a deeper appreciation for Japanese culture. Aki-sensei, a delightful and hardworking teacher, patiently imparts this amazing skill. If you seek a practical and straightforward approach to learning Japanese, she is undoubtedly the best choice. Grateful for everything, Aki-sensei!
