Thanks to Maki-sensei, learning Japanese has become more fun!
Maki-sensei is always kind and patiently supports me when I get stuck. Her teaching method is very easy to understand and she adjusts to my pace, so I can learn without any stress.
What especially impressed me is that she always takes my interests and goals into consideration when making a lesson plan! In conversation practice with themes of traveling in Japan and Japanese culture, I can learn not only about the language but also about the culture, so I am really spending a fulfilling time.
Through lessons with Maki-sensei, I realize that my Japanese is improving little by little. And thanks to her support, my motivation to learn Japanese has increased even more!
I highly recommend Maki-sensei to anyone who wants to learn Japanese in the future. I'm sure you will have fun and grow in lessons with Maki-sensei!I highly recommend Maki as an exceptional Japanese language teacher.
For intermediate and advanced learners, she covers fascinating topics such as Japanese culture, Buddhism, business emails, and the intricacies of Japan's high-context culture.
Beginners and lower intermediate learners will enjoy her fun approach, incorporating interests like anime into daily conversations.
Her dedication and ability to make learning enjoyable truly set her apart.View more recommendations
