Lessons with Saori-san are always fun and engaging. She understands how to speak with beginners; conversations feel natural and enjoyable. Her textbook lessons include plenty of original materials, making them feel modern and appealing.

This was my very first trial lesson on iTalki and I’m so glad I picked a session with Saori-san! She’s got such a warm personality and made me feel comfortable even though I’m super self-conscious about my Japanese conversation skills. I like that she types phrases I stumble over / had trouble expressing for reference and review, and am looking forward to more classes with her!

I have been taking lessons with Saori on and off for a long time since I was a beginner. She provides are very comfortable atmosphere and is friendly. I'm at the talking stage and she's great at picking up what I'm trying to say and helping me speak more naturally.

Another great lesson with Saori-sensei! Thanks to her, I had a great time in Japan! I only used my translation app a few times, and I was able to have great conversations with locals throughout Japan. It made the experience so much more worthwhile, and I can’t thank Saori-sensei enough for her patience and skilled guidance!

We had fun this lesson and learned a little from each other. Will look forward to learn from her in the future.
