Ryu is a great teacher, I highly recommend him! He’s patient, and puts everything into context which makes it a lot easier to understand. And he teaches both the formal and informal version of vocabulary. I will continue taking classes with him!

Ryusan sensei is a great teacher. He’s very knowledgeable and does an excellent job explaining concepts in a way that helps you truly understand the language. One thing I really appreciate is how he breaks down the roots of words; why they’re structured a certain way and where they come from. That approach makes everything much easier to grasp instead of just memorizing vocabulary. He clearly knows his stuff, he's very patient and I would definitely recommend him.

Taking lessons with Ryu has been an amazing way to practice my Japanese. He's a natural conversation partner, and is always actively listening. He politely corrects my Japanese, and his excellent English skills are super helpful for bridging the gap in understanding. Highly recommend you check him out!

Ryu is patient, will explain when you have questions, so don't feel bad about struggling to talk or formulate your thoughts. We need to have humbling moments to help us improve.

I had a wonderful trial lesson with Ryu-san! He explained things in a way that was easy for me to understand, was very encouraging and patient. I will be signing up for more lessons with him!
