Maki

I’ve been taking lessons with Maki for a while now and she’s been absolutely lovely and extremely patient. I feel like I have improved in my speaking ability quite a bit since I started taking lessons with Maki. I feel more confident to actually try even if I make many mistakes trying. Maki is highly patient even when I stutter or take a while to make the sentence. She’s also very encouraging and it makes me want to continue to try harder and improve more. At times I have days where I struggle to speak more than others for some reason but Maki simply encourages and is really patient with me. I’ve also learnt a lot with her grammar wise. She explains the grammar points in a way that is easy to understand. Some grammar structures that I used to struggle with have been made so much clearer by Maki’s explanations as well a the speaking practices. I’m very grateful to have found such a lovely tutor and well worth the money :)))

I really enjoy Maki's lessons. I learn a lot, and the relaxed atmosphere makes me feel more confident to speak even if I make mistakes. Maki is a patient and flexible teacher who matches the lesson content to your learning and interests. I am very much looking forward to my next lesson!

I feel like I'm starting to speak a bit more Japanese in the lessons. Obviously, I'm struggling to make a full sentence but it feels like I'm getting there. That is all because of Maki-san's guidance and help.

I highly recommend Maki as a teacher. Maki's kindness and patience make every lesson enjoyable and comfortable. Her preparedness and excellent teaching materials ensure that each session is productive and engaging. Maki strikes the perfect balance between practical conversation and grammar, making learning enjoyable and effective. With her guidance, I feel that I will be confident and well-prepared for the JLPT N4 exam. Maki's dedication to covering all exam materials has been invaluable, and I consider myself fortunate to have her as my teacher.

Practicing conversation with Maki-san is great, as she patiently corrects me and teaches me new vocabulary to express what I'm trying to say and also suggests new grammar and vocabulary.

Thank you Maki sensei for making the lesson clear and engaging. Thank you too for being so encouraging. I look forward to every lesson.
