Kozo The Translator

Very good and created an atmosphere where I felt comfortable, even though I didn't know too much about the language.

If you’re new to Japanese you’ll love starting Kozos class. This was my first lesson with Kozo and I loved it! He is a perfect teacher for beginners like myself. Upon booking he reached out and introduced himself in a personable way. I let him know my goals to practice conversation I’ve learned from my outside studies. During the meeting he’s very patient and came prepared. I’m amazed how quickly he was able to establish my level of conversation skills and adapt, as some other inexperienced tutors I found myself confused often. Thank you and I look forward to continuing to learn and practice with you!

I have had the pleasure of learning from Kozo sensei for the last 6 months and over 50 lessons. He is a very good teacher, always patient and kind to you and never makes you feel bad for making mistakes. I encourage anyone who prefers a softer style of teaching to take lessons with Kozo sensei because he will make you feel comfortable enough to continue studying. The main highlights of his classes are: 1) Always fun classes, keeps you motivated to continue 2) Does not stress you out 3) Always supportive 4) Well prepared, with topics to study and/or books to follow 5) Individual tailored teaching 6) Not strict / casual style 7) Flexible and doesn’t follow rigid structures 8) Can change topics to whatever you’re interested in It was very much fun learning from you Kozo sensei, thank you very very much for the time you’ve spent with me.

We went over my homework assignment in the workbook. We worked on some more sentence structure today, and then we moved on to how to use mo, も, in sentences.

Another great lesson with Kozo-sensei! This time we not only studied grammar, but also Kozo-sensei provided many examples and insights in Japanese culture. I am looking forward to my next lesson!

This is my second lesson with Kozo, but I will be taking many more with him. He's patient and well prepared. He has everything someone new to learning Japanese would want.
