Testimonials
“Jun's lessons are always very insightful; you learn more than just the Japanese language. He is meticulous in teaching both the basics and the colloquial, with emphases on helping students to actually speak the language in cultural context. But Jun still manages to make his classes fun, taking time to get to know the student and his/her goals.”
"What started as a whimsical curiosity, had fully developed into a strong passion and life long friendship! I had sought Jun out for some very simple beginner Japanese lessons. However, his kindness, dedication, passion, friendliness and magnificent teaching kept me learning Japanese for 4 years! I had 1:1 lessons with Jun twice a week and would still be meeting with him if I hadn't changed jobs and moved away.”
“Jun is very patient and does an extremely great job at ensuring he approaches each student with the learning method that works best for them. Additionally, it keeps the student engaged at all times. Learning with Jun is like coffee with a best friend... Only better! You get to walk away knowing Japanese!!!”
“While language learning speeds are entirely up to the person learning, they can be greatly multiplied with a wonderful teacher! If you would like to learn Japanese with affordability, flexibility, fun and gain a life long friend and mentor... I absolutely would have to recommend Jun Akutsu!"
“Jun treats every clients language needs differently, his years of experience and teaching ability is obvious during classes. I expect to laugh, learn and have fun with Jun every class. Jun provides materials, allows for you to make mistakes but also pushes you to be the best learner you can be. I fully recommend Jun as a Japanese Tutor.”
