Natsu-san is very clear and patient during class teaching. I asked Natsu-san to change pace to be faster a little bit, and she is able to accommodate very well. The pace is perfect. Class is very enjoyable. We enjoy learning Japanese with Natsu-san and looking forward to next class.

Just finished my fifth Japanese lesson with なつ先生! ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ I’m really grateful for such an amazing and warm teacher. I've definitely noticed a huge improvement with my Japanese and I’m gaining more confidence to use it and have conversations with people, especially at work. Thank you always and see you next week 先生! ^_^ 🙇♀️
