Another great lesson with Mina sensei. She is helping me make a lot of progress with honorific and humble speech (my request) and her feedback on my spoken Japanese during our conversations is so helpful! When I'm in class with her she really makes me feel fluent she is such a great teacher.

Mina Sensei in truly an incredible teacher. I really struggle with nervousness when speaking Japanese to new people, but she is such a warm person. She made me instantly feel so comfortable, I found it so easy to talk with her. She listened to my goals and she tailored her lessons so we could work on my two goals of improving my keigo and making my speaking more natural. I am really excited to take more lessons from her! I highly recommend her if you are looking for a delightful, warm teacher who also brings helpful structure to your lessons!

Mina Sensei is incredible. My lesson was absolutely perfect. We spend some time in the beginning of the lesson talking and she is so easy to talk to. Then she provides some corrections to our conversation before we move into the textbook we are working on. It is so helpful to have someone gently critique my speaking. In the textbook we are working on keigo and the materials she uses are excellent. I'm learning so much and it's really improved my confidence as well! Looking forward to many more lessons with her.

I really like the time Mina Sensei takes at the end of the session to review some of the sentences I used, this is super helpful to understand where I can improve. Thank you so much for this lesson :)
