I've learnt a lot from Grace so far and I look forward to learning more. Grace has a deep knowledge of Japanese culture and a great teaching style, she can adjust to whatever goals and needs I have at the time. Grace is able to explain the nuances of Japanese speech and teaches sentences used in casual native conversations (not just in textbooks). I've learnt that correct Japanese varies a lot depending on the context and she can explain the common forms to use in different situations.

Grace is a really good teacher! She has amazing teaching methods and any pupil would be lucky to have her as a teacher. She really inspires me to learn and is much better than any of the language teachers I have had at my school. The lessons are fun, interactive, and include great materials. Grace herself is just so nice and polite, I can't wait for my Japanese learning journey to continue with her!

I've now taken nearly 70 lessons with Grace sensei. The more I've got to know Grace sensei the more and more I've realised she is passionate about teaching and has a keen interest in helping me achieve my goals. Our lessons have been following a similar format, we end up having a free talk at the start of the lesson before progressing to grammar, kanji or translation (watching a TV programme and dissecting the various elements). As Grace sensei is Chinese, she is absolutely fantastic with kanji. I really enjoy picking apart kanji with Grace sensei as she can go beyond the Japanese kanji and deep into the related Chinese characters. However, Grace sensei is more than just a kanji master, she is a master of everything Japanese and, being Chinese, can add a lot of background information that many native Japanese people wouldn't be aware of. 本当にありがとうございました。また次のレッスンで会いましょう

Can't say enough good things about Grace! Book her! I met with Grace several times over the course of a few weeks, as I attempted to "revive" my dormant Japanese in advance of a trip to Japan. Grace is outgoing, curious, and generally extremely easy and fun to talk to. Basically everything you want in a language tutor. Also I can say even though her country says China, she is indeed 100% Japanese native speaker. If you do happen to speak some Chinese, it's actually really great, because you have an extra language to reach for when asking for clarification, and often times the Chinese word is much closer to the Japanese word than say English. So if that is your language background, Grace makes even more sense to work with. Anyway, Grace is an amazing tutor, strongly recommend.
