Rui-san is such a great teacher. She is always in a cheerful and energetic, is so patient and encourages me. She really makes learning fun and I always look forward to our lessons. We mostly try to speak in Japanese, but one of the nice thing too, is that she speaks very good English so if there is something I can't understand she is very good at explaining things. I see a comment about her being late. I've been studying with her for several months now and that has never been my experience. When I sign on, she's always waiting for me with a big welcoming smile.

I've had three classes (or so) with Rui. She's always been late. Today, for example, was 7-8 minutes late in a thirty minute class. I feel a bit robbed.

The class was really fun! Ruiさん asked lots of engaging questions and told me interesting stories, which made our conversation flow very easily. All my nervousness at the beginning disappeared as soon as we started talking. She had also asked about my learning background beforehand to prepare for the lesson, which I really appreciated. I'm already looking forward to our next class!
