I have completed many more lessons, so I wanted to provide an update! Sophia-san is amazing — after taking lessons with her, I feel much more confident, and she makes me feel comfortable communicating in Japanese using the words I already know. She has also really motivated me to keep learning and trying. I am very grateful for her patience. Before taking her lessons, I could hardly speak Japanese. I am leaving on Monday for a one-month work-related visit to Japan, and I am now excited and looking forward to using the Japanese I learned to explore a new city and culture. After I return, I cannot wait to report back to Sophia-san about what I learned, and I will definitely continue taking lessons with her in the future! 中文補充:老師非常有耐心,也很會鼓勵學生,真的讓我更有勇氣開口說日文。非常推薦給其他中文母語的學習者!

Sophia-san is amazing! I truly love her lessons—they are both fun and highly professional. I am a beginner Japanese learner, and although I know the basics of grammar, my main goal has been to improve my speaking skills. Sophia-san is incredibly kind and encouraging. She celebrates even my smallest progress, which motivates me to keep learning and expressing myself in Japanese. She always discusses my learning goals with me and asks for feedback at the end of each lesson. After every lesson, she sends a clear and helpful PDF summary with key sentences, grammar, and phrases, plus practice exercises as homework. These are extremely useful for review. Taking lessons with Sophia-san is the highlight of my week, and I look forward to continuing my Japanese learning journey with her! 一緒に頑張りましょう!😊

Sophia-san was very engaging and adapted her style to my goals. She spoke slowly and understandable. It was a very pleasant experience.
