まゆみさんに一年以上教えていただいていて、本当に嬉しく思っています。 まゆみさんは授業を楽しくしてくれるし、とても優しいし、いつも助けてくださいます。 私の弱点や興味に合わせて、さまざまなレッスンを準備してくださって、いつも感謝しています。 N2〜N3レベルのことを勉強していて、時々悔しくなることもありますが、まゆみさんがいつも励ましてくれるので、毎週のレッスンが楽しみです! どんなレベルの方にも、まゆみさんを心からおすすめします! I have been having lessons with Mayumi for over a year and I’ve loved it! She is so much fun to work with, incredibly kind, and really helpful. She is always willing to change our lessons if it makes sense, takes the time and care to make the lessons special. I’m learning intermediate material, and even though the intermediate plateau can be frustrating, our lessons keep learning Japanese fun. I definitely recommend her as a teacher, regardless of your level! :)

Mayumi sensei always puts in a lot of effort into her lessons and always makes the lessons enjoyable and fun. She explains grammar excellently and makes working through exercises fun and personal. She's great at identifying areas of improvement and focuses on them to ensure that you don't feel overwhelmed when progressing to future lessons. Highly recommended teacher.

I really enjoyed my class with Mayumi-san today. It was exactly what I needed, I learnt a lot and it was fun too. I have been looking for a teacher who really understands what I needed and am so glad I finally found the exact match.
