Taking a class with Taka is like taking a class with my friend. Although he always has lessons ready to teach me, many times we end up discussing a variety of other topics because I love asking questions. Me being a curious person is not a problem for Taka because he is patient and always ready with answers. He gives examples and uses photos to help explain and make sure I understand. Best of all, Taka speaks at a pace that I can comprehend. He is able to speed up the pace or slow down if I give a questioning look. I always look forward to my classes with Taka. Thank you.

Taka is a very patient and attentive teacher. What I appreciate most is that he takes the time to correct my vocabulary, expressions, and every sentence in detail. This is exactly what I was looking for in a language teacher, and these corrections have been incredibly helpful for my progress. I always enjoy our lessons and highly recommend him to anyone who wants detailed, constructive feedback.

Gives great feedback.

I like how Maxime explained how he would help me obtain my goal and targeting areas that I personally don't feel like I need to work on despite the fact that it is vital in language learning. As hard as I find it to deal with, I was still content knowing that he had a plan for me and was able to push me through helping me build my confidence. It was definitely challenging and I know that is one of the best ways to accomplish fluency in the language.

Taka’s lessons are challenging, but never overwhelming, and I feel like I’m making real progress every time we meet. He’s patient, explains everything clearly, and always has well-prepared topics and materials. You can really tell he cares about helping his students improve. Couldn’t recommend him more.
