Ruri T

Classes with Ruri 先生 always feel really rewarding because I feel like I am always applying what I'm learning. As I've spent more time in classes with her, I feel like I'm able to keep building on the things that I'm learning and able to more easily and more naturally express myself. She always is giving me good feedback in understanding how native speakers use different phrases and grammar, something I definitely wouldn't get from a book alone. I always have a great time learning from her and being able to speak Japanese with her.

Ruri sensei has honestly helped my confidence so much. For so long I’ve been so scared to learn Japanese despite it being my life goal. As someone with a learning disability I was always scared that I would never be able to become fluent. Ruri sensei not only encourages me but she teaches me in ways that are so easy to understand. You can tell she genuinely cares and wants her students to learn in the most positive environment. I can’t thank her & recommend her enough!!! 🤍

This was my last class of 2023 with Ruri, and started taking classes with her in February of this same year!! Time flies when you are really comfortable 😊 I've noticed an exponential growth in my Japanese level ever since I started studying with Ruri. Even on days I don't feel very confident with my Japanese, after I take a class with her I feel so much better and super motivated to continue to learn. She also teaches me so many cultural aspects from Japan which I love (understanding the culture that surrounds a language is so important to me). I promise no one would regret trying a class with her, there are very few teachers with her ability!! So so sooo kind, professional, organised and adapts quickly. I feel like I won the teacher lottery with Ruri. 本当にいつもありがとうございます、るり先生 🩵 メリークリスマスと新年あけましておめでとうございます 🎉🎉

I always look forward to class with Ruri先生 because I get a chance to practice speaking a lot and always get to learn new things with her. One thing I really appreciate is that she remembers things that I've told her before and as I'm learning more Japanese, it gives me an opportunity to better explain or express things we've talked about with what I've learned. Today we covered Lesson 11 in the Genki I textbook, and even though the material is something I'm somewhat familiar with, I'm really glad that I had Ruri 先生 to go over with me. She gave great examples as well as explaining the material more in depth. I'm happy that in our lesson she gave me plenty of opportunities to practice what I was learning.

Today we started a new book to prepare myself to take the JLPT N3 in December!!! I'm so excited to go through this book alongside Ruri 🤗 Lots to get used to and lots to learn but that's what learning a language is all about! Thank you as always Ruri for an amazing fun class 🩵

I'm always looking forward to class with Ruri 先生 because I feel like I get to learn and practice new things. She is always able to give explanations and examples that help me understand what we're learning a little better. I'm really grateful that she's there with me because when the material, like Genki I, doesn't contain examples for some concepts or give full explanations, she's there to fill in the gaps. She also is able to correct any assumptions that I might incorrectly infer based on the gaps in the material. Today, we covered the last two sections of Chapter 10. The material in the textbook was relatively easy, but I think that what we went over really helped it stick - if I was by myself I definitely would have glossed over it. The lesson I had with Ruri 先生the material engaging and enjoyable to cover.
