In case you're skimming, OYUKI ROCKS! That’s all you need to know, but if you wish to know more, here it is… I waited until I had completed 5 lessons with Oyuki before writing this review, so it could be more useful to prospective students than “another great chat!” First, Oyuki is a truly amazing person! She is always full of energy and brings a day-brightening attitude to each lesson. The hour flies by — every time. She is very skilled at keeping the conversation going. She points out mistakes, suggests better phrasing, and helps you understand common usage in Mexico. One thing I have noticed in trying out various iTalki instructors (professional teachers and community tutors) is that English skills matter, at least if you are a beginner. Oyuki is highly educated, and it shows when we are trying to parse some subtle difference between Spanish and English. In short, book Oyuki now if you want a great Spanish tutor, just don’t take up all of the good time slots! :)

Another great lesson. The progress seems like 10 times faster then years before in my high school. I'm curious how far we'll get after 10 or 20 lessons.

Oyu is an amazing teacher and conversationalist. I’m pretty decent in Spanish but she has helped me feel confident in my Spanish and always has good topics to discuss.

Oyuki is a great teacher! I have only had 2 lessons with her so far but I plan to take lessons weekly now. She is really helpful and informative but also fun to talk to. She can speak English very well too. I've been learning Spanish for over a year now but Oyuki has already helped me improve in just two weeks.

She’s the simply the best! So easy to converse with. 😊

I really like Oyu as a person and her teaching so far, I am excited to continue with her! She explained words and ideas and discussed the structure of the upcoming lesson. I cannot wait.
