Wake is a great teacher. Her Japanese is easy to understand and she is very patient with me. I am 60 years old so learning Japanese for the first time isn’t easy for me but Wako makes the process pleasant without any stress. I highly recommend her as a teacher.

Wako-san is a fun and outgoing person. Talking with her came easily and naturally. Even though I am an absolute beginner, with her help, I was able to understand most of what was spoken, and I was able to even answer some in broken Japanese 😂
Wako-san is well-spoken in both Japanese and English -- I can see that it can help if someone needs some explaining or an absolute beginner like me who is shy to come in and talk in 100% Japanese. She genuinely wants to get to know you and is able to keep the conversation going if you're a shy individual. We had a great time talking. It felt like it was 5 minutes!
Thank you for the lesson Wako-san!

Wako-sensei is kind and patient. She would wait patiently when sometimes I need time to think of a word to say. When I don't know how to say the word in Japanese and had to say it in English, she would say and explain the word. Overall, today I had a fun 30-minutes lesson with her, and will re-book again if I had the chance. ありがとうございます, 先生!
