About Akiko
Hello, I'm Akiko.
I was born in Japan and grew up there, though I have lived in Melbourne, Australia, for the last 20 years.
I love traveling, watching films, and going to gigs.
Before traveling to a country, I always try to learn the language as it makes the experience 100 times better.
Meeting local people and trying to communicate with them is so much fun. I can't wait for my next trip!

All of our reviews are collected by us and are 100% reliable. They correspond to a real experience lived by students with Akiko.
Perfect! Akiko is a very lovely and motivating teacher, she is patient and welcomes learning.
- Grace’s Japanese skills are very impressive! She can already read hiragana, katakana, and even some kanji. She also understands the meaning of the sentence. We can work towards her exam also improving her listening skill which I’m sure she’ll pick up very quickly. Well done for the first lesson Grace! :)Akiko's response :
Perfect! Akiko has been giving my 9 year old daughter Japanese lessons for the last month. She is always on time, polite and friendly, a calm and paitient teacher and my daughter is really really enjoying the lessons and getting to know Akiko. It's really great hearing them together :)
- Nikki’s daughter was very bright, polite and fun to have a lesson with. We practiced some basic Japanese phrases, both speaking and writing. Her pronunciation is excellent and she copied Japanese characters very well for the first try. She is very good at drawing too and we could expand our lesson from what she drew such as animals and Japanese food. I’m very looking forward to the next lesson!Akiko's response :
Perfect! Akiko is very kind and easy to understand. She answers my questions and explains really well.
She make me feel comfortable on the first lesson. I'm very happy and greatful for her.- I really enjoyed our first lesson with Imilda’s daughter. She was very polite and interested in Japanese culture.Akiko's response :
She is a quick learner and asked me questions to verify the sentence structures. Her pronunciation is excellent too. I’m looking forward to our next lesson!
Perfect! I had a great lesson with Akiko.
Her lessons are very straightforward and helpful.
I would definitely recommend if you’re looking to learn or polish up your Japanese language skills.- Jason was a polite and quick learner. He already knew many Japanese phrases and his pronunciation was very good. He still gets confused with some of the Japanese characters so that’s something we can work on for the next few lessons.Akiko's response :

I decided to take Japanese lessons with Akiko for six months prior to my trip to Japan. I had tried online learning in the past, but engaging with a real teacher was on another level and a much more fun experience. We started with basic conversations and built up from there. After only two lessons, I was able to confidently pronounce Japanese words. Akiko's lessons gave me confidence as well as a better understanding of Japanese culture before my trip!
Akiko is great! In terms of teaching, she's very good at explaining the grammar and at finding the closest English meaning where possible. She matches my learning pace and gently encourages me. I've been learning Japanese with Akiko for more than a year now and always look forward to the next lesson.
Akiko is a great teacher! Her lessons are always engaging, interesting, and fun. As a beginner learner, I appreciate that she's patient and explains things in a way that is easy to understand. I highly recommend taking classes with Akiko :)
I needed a crash course to brush up on my Japanese language skills before travelling to Japan.
Akiko is vey easy going and approachable and the lessons felt easy, relatable and interesting.
