I just finished my 100th class with Motoe-Sensei! The lessons are always fun, clear, and easy to follow. Thanks to her teaching and support, I’ve learned so much. I’m really grateful and excited to keep going. Highly recommend!

A few weeks later, I'm back with Motoe-san! She handled the lesson very well today, making sure the lesson was at my current level and that the textbook material was challenging enough. I'm still speaking broken Japanese but Motoe-san is patient and helps me to remember words etc. She used audio examples for me to listen to and repeat the information I heard, this was very helpful for my listening capability.

Great lesson reviewing basic Japanese sentence structure, phrases used everyday life and Hiragana, Katagana. The teacher is patient and pushes me in a good way to learn the most I can while taking learning serious but makes the lesson fit to my ability.

Motoe sensei is very patient. She pushes you do improve each time in lesson by giving you things to review things to memorize for next class so that we can transition from reading with English to reading Japanese without the help of English pronunciation in textbook. Motoe explains well what each sentences means and when to use it in basic communication form. Taking her lesson once per week can get you improving your Japanese knowledge and character recognition pretty quickly.
