Asami

Asami is an excellent and thoughtful conversation partner and instructor for advanced students. She is very open to working with me on my language learning needs (which can often be fluid). She is also open to exploring a wide range of topics (from the serious to the silly) in a way that feels like we're both learning, while also providing me with important tips/corrections/suggestions along the way. I can't recommend her enough!

毎週の週末、Asami先生と一緒に楽しく過ごされて本当によかったです。生活の中で日本語のことをいろいろと勉強になり、とても助かりました。ありがとうございます。

あさみ先生が優しいです。レッスンの時話すスピードが遅くて、わかりやすいです。そして、私の言い間違いに対して、丁寧に教えてくれたんです。性格もいいし、面白いです。

Asami is an amazing teacher! She is careful to speak very slowly, in a rate that is just perfect for my current Japanese level. She is incredibly patient in understanding what I'm trying to say and offering more natural phrasings when I get it wrong. In addition, she has many interesting stories and conversation topics. This was my 4th lesson with her (I think), and I feel my Japanese is greatly improving thanks to her.

あさみ先生はとても親切。私は話す時、先生は私の話すことを聞いて、いいアトバイスをあげました。先生が褒めてくれたおかげて、もっと自信を持っていて、言えたことが多くなりました。

I feel like I progress a lot when Asama Sensei teaches me! I was mostly reviewing lessons 1 and 2 with Genki 1, but I know she will help me understand more with lesson 3 next week!
