Kaori

Kaori-san gave a great lesson as always, being able to adapt to the speed of the learner very well! Questions that I ask are met with great explanations and examples. I was able to learn a lot of new vocabulary and put them into practice!

I studied with Kaori for about 6 months, once a week, as preparation for the JLPT N1. Out of all the teachers I've had lessons with on italki, she was the most prepared and professional, always keeping my goal in sight and adjusting the lessons to my needs. As things get quite complicated on the N1 level, understanding details and nuances is really important, but thanks to Kaori's great, easily understandable explanations I was never left with unanswered questions. I can't judge how well she deals with beginner level students, but if you're on an intermediate/advanced level I dare say she's one of the best teachers you can find.

I wish I could write this anonymously so the other teachers can't see because I have to honestly say Kaori Sensei is my favorite italki teacher of all time (and I've been a student here since 2019). She checks to make sure I understand everything we go over in class, she uses the materials I want to work on, we don't use textbooks (yuck!), and she sends me notes from class reviewing what I'm working on, new vocabulary, and grammar corrections on my speaking. She assigns me useful and level-appropriate homework and gives me precise and helpful feedback. If you're serious about studying and improving, this is the teacher for you.

I always love my lessons with Kaori sensei! Not only is she fun to talk to but is quick to adapt and go along with the conversation while still allowing me to speak freely. I'm always impressed with the notes she takes during the lessons and her constructive, but polite, critiques always help improve my japanese! I look forward to the next lesson!

Kaori is the best. She is patient, and her goal is to help us say what we want. Honestly the best language teacher I have ever had.

3ヶ月前、初めてかおり先生のレッスンを受け始めた。周に3回、30回くらいのレッスンを受けた。話す力どんどん伸びたと感じる。最初、文章をきちんと終わらないうちに、ストップした。他には中国人間違えやすいところ、「面白いの本」とか、たくさんあった。かおり先生はちょうどいい時そうな間違いを直してくれる。一番助かったのはレッスン最後の改善点のフィードバックと思う。 I started taking lessons with Kaori for the first time about 3 months ago. At 3 times a week, so far, I have taken about 30 lessons. I feel that my spoken Japanese has improved rapidly. When I first tried to speak, sometimes I stopped before I finished the complete sentence properly. There are places that foreigners are prone to make mistakes. Kaori would point those out at the appropriate time. It is very helpful that she provides feedback at the end of every lesson. 三个月前，我第一次跟Kaori老师上课。迄今为止，每周3次，我已经上了大约30节课。我感觉我的日语口语能力进步很快。刚开始说话时，句子还没说完就停住了。还有很多中国人学日语容易犯错的地方，Kaori老师适时地纠正错误。我认为帮助最大的是课程结束时的反馈。特别是需要改进的地方。
