Karensan is always helpful, cheerful, encouraging, and patient. I have been doing lessons with her once a week, sometimes two, for three months and will continue with her until I move to Japan.

After trying a few trial lessons with other instructors when deciding which language to learn, I chanced upon Karen-san and I felt that she was really friendly and approachable and since I wanna watch anime without subtitles one day, I decided to try a few more lessons.
With structured plan that is coupled with additional presentation materials, I was able to review and know what I don’t know. She is open to questions that we might have and she was able to answer with decent and clear English.
I am using the textbook currently but to enhance the quality of lesson, she would ask real questions which forces you to apply what I have learnt which is quite cool.Suggestions she made like learning some things like day of the month via song were helpful too. Highly recommend Karen-san if you seek to learn Japanese ✨
