ðšLet me share my passion for languages with you.
ðšI had over 5000 lessons with people from all over the world, helping them achieve their goal such as passing JLPT, becoming an absolute beginner to a intermediate speaker in half a yearðš
ðI am a native Japanese speaker who has lived around the world. As an adult, I learned English and Spanish, and now I'm also studying Chinese and Russian.ð
âïļGeneral Japaneseâïļ
For beginners, I find it best to start by learning basic grammar and vocabulary.
For intermediate level and above, it depends on your preference, we can focus on conversation or working on JLPT exam, read news articles together, etc.
ðĨJLPTðĨ
I have experience of teaching N4, N3 and N2. I can give you placement test, create study plan for you and give you advice how you should study outside the lesson.
ðĐðŧâðŧ Business JapaneseðĐðŧâðŧ
I have over 7 years of experience working for Japanese and American financial firms in Tokyo's financial district. Much of that experience involved verbal and written translation between senior Japanese and American business people.
If you are starting a new job with a Japanese firm, or have a temporary posting in Japan, I can help you prepare with the language and skills necessary to succeed!
ðĐJapanese ConversationðĐ Basic conversation in 10 lessonsðĨ
We can discuss on various topics and I will write down your errors, unnatural expression and we can go over them together.
Japanese grammar is very simple, ðĨin 5-10 lessonsðĨ you will become able to describe your day (past tense), what you are going to do on the weekend (future tense), etc.
ðTextbooks ð
I am familiar with most of the major textbooks, such as Minnano Nihongo series, Genki series, Tobira, Shinkanzen Master for JLPT, etc.
If you do not know which one to use, we can talk about it in our first lessonð
It's difficult to put into words my appreciation of Akikosan as a teacher. I'm at a particularly frustrating place in my studies where I've learned enough grammar and vocabulary to construct more complex, beautiful sentences, but building them instantaneously in a live speech environment is still so difficult. Akiko is there, making the necessary corrections and providing clear guidance on how to overcome these obstacles, explaining the finder points of grammar and its practical application. Her patience and grace is unmatched. Thank you, Akikosan!
