I've already done several with Kaori-san and I'm always looking forward to the next one. She adjusts the lessons to my pace really well and we always go over lots of examples. We started our lesson today with conversation too and it was really easy. Kaori-san is a really good, motivating teacher.

Kaori is a great teacher, she explains complex topics and grammar both in English and Japanese, making sure that I understand. Hour long lessons go so smoothly that I can’t notice the time flying by!

Kaori-san is such a patient and organised teacher. Our lesson today was so fun and she helped me understand something I've been struggling with for a while. We also went through many examples and I learnt so much. Really happy I found Kaori-san on this platform and I can't wait to continue studying together. She gave me the feeling that I can improve.

Another awesome lesson today, we've learnt about the passive form and Kaori-san let me practice with lots of examples. She answered all of my questions about nuances of words and grammar. She also helped me review sentences from a Japanese book I'm reading and included many cultural explanations too to help me understand all the context better. She's excellent at explaining and prepares herself well for her lesson, which I am really grateful for. Also, she's very kind and gentle when she corrects mistakes. The lessons feel really relaxing and there's no stress at all.

I took some beginner Japanese lessons with Kaori san and had a great experience. The lessons were clear, well structured, and very encouraging. She explained concepts in a simple way and made learning feel approachable and enjoyable, especially for me because I had no prior experience. I’d definitely recommend them to other beginners.
