Urumi is so sweet and patient! She is the first teacher that I have done on this website and already two classes in, I have learn so much than I did in the three months I was trying to self teach myself. I am new to learning Japanese and she has been so helpful on helping me grow my vocabulary, reading and speaking. I love that she always speaks in Japanese for majority of the class and she writes down all the vocabulary that you don't recognize when she talks to you. It is super helpful to review after her class. I look forward to growing more in her class and I hope I can reach conversational level soon! Highly recommend Urumi!

She's very sweet and fun to talk to! She does her best to meet each student's needs and wants. Also, her pronunciation and intonation are very clear, so it's very easy to understand! Whenever I say something that doesn't sound natural, she would tell me the natural expressions and correct words. She is amazing! I highly recommend her :) 우루미상 너무 스윗하시고 대화할 때 재밌어요! 각 학생들의 목표라던가 집중하고 싶은 부분들이 있을 때 그거에 맞춰 잘 도와주세요. 그리고 발음이랑 억양도 너무 깔끔하셔서 알아듣기도 굉장히 쉬워요! 제가 부자연스러운 표현을 쓰거나 상황에 적절하지 않은 단어를 쓸 때 자연스럽게 고쳐주시는 것도 좋아요. 우루미상 강추합니당 :)

I always look forward to meeting with Urumi

Urumi gave a great lesson and asked lots of really good questions about how and where I wanted to focus my studies. After getting to know each other a bit, she asked a lot of open questions so that I had plenty of opportunities to speak. Her pronunciation is also fantastic, so will be perfect for people that aren't so confident with their listening yet. レッスンはめっちゃ楽しくてうるみも頑張ってくれたのでとても満足。italkiなら結構新しい講師なんですがちっともそう感じない！機械があれば、うるみのレッスンを受けるこたは勧めます！

Urumi is an ideal teacher if you’re looking for a relaxed and natural environment to improve your speaking skills. A big part of becoming fluent is overcoming the fear of making mistakes, and she creates a space where speaking feels much less intimidating. She adapts to your pace and keeps conversations engaging and comfortable. I’ve taken six lessons with her so far, and I already feel like I’ve overcome several major mental blocks with speaking. Thank you Urumi! I look forward to more conversations with you.

Another excellent lesson with Urumi-sensei. She was very patient with me as I have restart my Japanese learning after a long while.
