Saki sensei is such an amazing teacher! She is super kind, patient, and supportive 💖 She’s always prepared for the lessons and very punctual 😸 Since I started taking classes with her my speaking abilities have improved a lot because she teaches me the most natural way to express my ideas, and she always waits patiently for me to finish my sentences and try my best 🥰 Also, she speaks very clearly and at a pace that is not too fast for me, which is perfect since comprehension is my biggest weakness in Japanese 🙈 Now that I’m studying Kanji, she writes every new vocabulary word in Kana and Kanji. This definitely helps me with understanding the meaning of new words that I’m learning and memorizing the readings much better 💖 I’m so happy that I found Saki sensei, and I truly recommend her classes to anyone who is learning Japanese! 🇯🇵💖 サキひめ、本当にありがとう❣️

Every time I leave the class I feel that I am better in many areas of the language from vocabulary to grammar. The classes are never boring and are always dynamic, it isn't your traditional class, it is a very safe environment and you never feel ashamed to speak. Saki-san is an amazing teacher and is able to make the class both fun and educational. If you are looking to start or improve your Japanese, I highly recommend the classes as you will not be disappointed! ありがとうございます

My first lesson with Saki-sensei was great! She is very kind and easy to talk to. The conversation felt natural and fun. She spoke clearly, so I could understand almost everything, and she explained things patiently when I didn’t. She was attentive and encouraging. The time went by so fast, and I’m already looking forward to our next lesson!

Super lesson with Saki! We worked on the short form, past/present/affirmative/negative. I understand it much better. We also reviewed the vocabulary from lesson 12 and learned the すぎる grammar point. I'm glad that Saki had us go back to review the short form and te form, because I have more confidence going forward!
