Mayuna

Mayuna-sensei's approach is adaptive and interested. She's familiar with a diverse set of interests, which makes conversation natural and engaging. For newer speakers, Mayuna-sensei knows exactly when to pause and wait for the student to think out their response, and when to jump in and provide a hint. After the student is done speaking, Mayuna-sensei always makes grammatical corrections and suggests better vocabulary, then challenges the student to put these inputs to use right away. Mayuna-sensei speaks clearly and slowly, which makes her easy to understand. Mayuna-sensei is confident with guiding conversations by asking questions, but also gives the student the opportunity to ask questions in return.

Another great lesson, always learning new things, refining past concepts, laughing and strengthening my language learning muscles bit by bit! Even if you can only afford 1 30 minute lesson a week, you can learn Japanese with Mayuna!!

Mayuna sensei was very patient with me during this lesson as I have been traveling for many weeks and have not had time to study. We were able to review past material and reset my understanding so I'm prepared to continue my learning for the next set of homework. As always, Mayuna san's friendly and professional manner made this as enjoyable a lesson as ever! I'm excited to get back to consistently taking lessons and progressing with the best Japanese teacher I've ever had!

I am provided with lots of time to engage in questions that I have come across in my studies or even questions that I have found in the lesson itself. The amount of clarity gained from Mayuna-sensei through these sessions is undoubtedly invaluable for anyone's study.

Very happy with the first lesson!!

Mayuna-san is a really good teacher - professional and cheerful at the same time. She's patient, and her explanations make difficult things very clear. Her help in preparing for the JLPT N5 was thorough and very useful. I highly recommend her.
