I am a Japanese native speaker from Saitama (Japan). I graduated with an BA in British and American Literature at Aoyamagakuin University (Tokyo, Japan) and a Master degree in Computer Science at Western Illinois University (Macomb, Illinois). My background is engineer but I have experience teaching beginners (children or adults) as well as more advanced students.

Being a Japanese native speaker who grew up in Japan, I can teach my students all the aspects of the language (grammar, pronunciation, writing, reading, etc.), and I can also tell them about the Japanese culture. In Japan, I studied British and American Literature. I have experience working with students who have very different goals. For instance, I have had beginners who wanted to learn everything about Japanese (grammar, vocabulary, pronunciation), as well as very advanced students who wanted to perfect their pronunciation and apply for jobs in Japan.

The lessons will be tailored to meet your needs and interests. They will also be as interactive as possible: the more you speak Japanese, the better you will become !

I am looking forward to meeting you !

凄い先生!(Awesome teacher!)

Akira-san is an AWESOME tutor. He is patient, very helpful and fun to work with! He is also very flexible and easy going, which I really appreciate. With his help, I have been able to complete the Genki I textbook and learn how to speak Japanese more naturally. While I still have a long way to go to reach my goal of fluency, I am confident that with Akira-san's help, I will get there. I strongly recommend him!

Great teacher, teaches well

Answers any questions when asked and can help with writing, reading, speaking, or listening. Has both insight into the language and the culture of Japan itself.

Bishop, 9 lessons with Akira

Great tutor

Akira is a great tutor. We have been working together to get my Japanese back up to speed after several years of not using it. We are working on grammar, vocabulary, and pronunciation -- but in ways that are interesting and more impactful. Highly recommended.

Akira knows how to talk to people and get the best our of the potential of a student. I miss him and the opportunity to learn from him when I'm away from the country

Marco, 25 lessons with Akira

Very knowledgeable

Good introduction, and accurate when it comes to understanding the concept of what it takes when it comes to learning the language. The video called was smooth and you could understand what was being said without no problem.
