I really wasn't sure what to expect since this was my first time using iTalki, but my trial lesson with Sana-san was excellent. We talked about my background with learning Japanese and what I'm struggling with, and I think she has a good grasp on what we need to work on going forward. This was also my first time (ever!) attempting to have an actual conversation with someone in Japanese, and I'm inclined to say that I was a hot mess of a conversationalist, but I managed to muddle my way through what I was attempting to say with Sana-san's assistance. I feel like I learned a lot for how little time we actually spent attempting to converse. It was great! I've already signed up for more lessons. Sana-san is also very humble about her English skills. I think she's quite good! It was easy to communicate with her in both written and spoken English.

I’ve spent years looking for a Japanese teacher who truly knows how to teach from scratch, and Sana is exactly that. She’s not just a great teacher; she’s also super friendly, which makes the lessons fly by. If you’re thinking about booking a class, go for it. You won’t regret it!

Conversación casual.

Sana is great at keeping the conversation flow going and makes learning feel like its fun and not work at all! While keeping the conversation interesting she also manages to be detail oriented in picking up mistakes and correcting them by recording the proper way to say something and send it over. Looking forward to future lessons!

I love the lessons with Sana Sensei. She is fun to talk to and always provides useful feedback which helps me greatly in my Japanese learning.

La profesora es buena onda, les recomiendo su clase.
