About Akimoto
Nice to meet you. I’m Hiroki, a Japanese tutor and digital nomad. I have 13 years of language teaching experience, over 3,200 lesson hours, and more than 300 learners taught across levels. Drawing on my self-taught English experience and on psychology and neuroscience, I help you build your learning from the ground up. You don’t need study abroad or special talent. With small changes to your daily life and environment, you can steadily acquire Japanese. If the first step feels scary or you don’t know where to begin, this is a space where mistakes are welcome and every question is safe to ask. When people feel safe, they try more, and language grows. It’s okay not to have everything figured out. If a question comes to mind, say it right there. I put safety from blame and criticism first.

What you can expect
• Kind, patient, unhurried lessons.
• Short explanations and lots of practice.
• Clear, specific praise so you can see progress.
• Psychology-informed study design that shows not just what to learn but how to learn it.
• Long-term goals turned into weekly wins, so motivation stays manageable.
• Custom feedback on pronunciation, vocabulary, and natural phrasing, plus homework you can actually finish.
• Optional AJATT-style immersion that blends Japanese into your day in a way that fits your life.
A few small examples
• Multiple complete beginners reached everyday conversation after 2 years of steady study.
• Several learners have relocated to Japan.
• Early-stage learners expressed opinions and handled simple conversations after 6 months.
Results depend on study time and environment. We will set realistic targets together.

• You worry about being scolded.
• You feel unsure of your level or where to start.
