I really enjoyed today's lesson. It was two hours and just what I needed to increase my knowledge and confidence. Kaji is an excellent teacher, plenty of content, examples and conversation.

Kajiwara-san is so helpful and friendly. I always have a good time. I really appreciate the effort and understanding she brings to each lesson. She is amazing.

Very disappointed that she can not speak English as well as advertised. When I am unable to understand a concept she can not explain in English. I can live with that.
Specifically I gave her a few JPLT 2 Grammar level sample test questions, which I have the answer for, but don't understand exactly why another answer is incorrect. She has a hard time explaining why and then on top of that say "oh that is a level 4 grammar problem and you should study more grammar". Duh, why do you think I am asking her to explain specific grammar points? Well I happen to be using her a two grammar books (drill and text) and my wife is Japanese. The reason I am asking her these questions is because I still don't understand why the other answer is incorrect.
Granted trying Grammar and trying to explain whey an answer is correct is much easier than explaining why an answer is incorrect. I find her response a little immature and perhaps a more senior teacher would know better.

We had a great chat about holidays,family and the UK, I really enjoyed our chat.
We also covered a couple of JLPT N2 grammar points and I have some homework to do which I enjoy.

Kaji-sensei not only helped me prepare for JLPT, she also taught me many things that were very helpful for daily life here in Japan. Highly recommended.
