Reviews of professor Hiroe Akimoto

Rating: 5.0/5, difficulty: 3.0/5
Professor Akimoto sets very clear standards and if you put in the effort, is always willing to help you progress. She knows what she is doing and is very supportive. Her Japanese class focuses on application of language and content.

Despite the class being more complex, Akimoto made the class super engaging and fun by not only with small group activities, but also delving more into Japanese culture and media. She does offer a little more homework, but I would recommend her to any student taking Japanese.

Akimoto Sensei is an amazing professor. While there is quite a bit of homework, it's truly because she wants you to succeed. One thing that I really appreciated was her straying away from the rigidity of the textbook, and teaching real world application and discussion to our classroom and lessons. She is also extremely caring. I would recommend.

Akimoto Sensei is a 10/10 professor! She can seem intimidating at first but she is very caring, funny, and accessible. She is passionate, organized, and wants her students to succeed (speaking tests are still nerve-wracking though). If you put it the work and do your best with your Japanese you will have a great experience with her, guaranteed! :)
