Me as a Teacher
I understand how hard leaning languages is because I've been leaning some languages.
I've experienced to live with a lot foreign people and hold international events in japan and meet many people to learn Japanese.
So I know difficulties which Japanese uniquely has.
But, NO WORRIES! I'll teach you on your level. Let's have fun studying together!

✨ Mei-sensei is truly the kind of teacher everyone dreams of having! 🌸 She’s calm, patient, and full of positive energy ⚡️. You can instantly feel her love for teaching when you talk with her 💬💖. What makes her even more amazing is how she gives you the space to think and struggle a little, then gently guides you in the right direction 🌟📚.

Thank you so much for all the help in preparing for my trip!! I appreciate you teaching me the new phrases and repeating them many times like learning a musical scale or new riff and also for using art/music as conversation topics! ありがとうございます!

Class today was excellent! Thank you for the feedback on music video editing and teaching me new vocabulary related to that and reviewing the use of different verb tenses. Also, it was fun discussing movies and characters. ありがとうございます

We had a very interesting conversation about music and reviewed verbs from a previous class and also added some new vocabulary. Thank you!
