I really enjoy studying with Rie-san. She always asks the right questions to encourage me to speak more naturally and confidently in Japanese. Her lessons are interactive, and she creates a comfortable atmosphere where I can actively practice speaking. She also explains grammar points in a very simple and clear way, which makes even difficult topics easy to understand. Thanks to her teaching style, I feel that my Japanese is improving steadily. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants supportive and effective Japanese lessons. ありがとうございます

Rie is a wonderful teacher. Her use of Minna no Nihongo was very effective, and she created a comfortable atmosphere while still challenging me in a good way. I really enjoyed the lesson and look forward to learning with her again.

Thank you for your patience! For explaining everything each time and not giving up on me when I forgot all those kanji. I will do my best to review things on my own too. 🌸

Thank you so much Rie-san! I had not read in Japanese in so long, and I forgot a lot of kanji readings. I felt embarassed in the beginning, but you made me feel comfortable trying. Excited for a new challange next time!!

Rie's lessons are perfect for nervous learners who could use some encouragement! I book conversations with her, and we spend the time talking - she's happy to provide topics, ask questions, and keep the conversation going so it never feels awkward. It's a great way to practice with a native speaker and gain more confidence.
