I would definitely recommend Anri-San for other young students and here is why! I think that she really makes the lessons more personal and when we practice there is not one right answer like I am taking a test, but it is like an actual way to practice talking. She also prepares subjects that are not officially in the method she uses but are about Japanese holidays or customs and they are very fun to learn about. I think she really deserves more student because she is a really great teacher and a nice person. Rebecca, Amsterdam, 11 years old.

We’ve had such a great experience with Anri! She has a wonderful way of teaching new words and sentences that keeps him engaged and motivated. Her presentations are incredibly cute, creative, and visually appealing, which makes learning feel fun instead of overwhelming. Max really enjoys his lessons and looks forward to them each time. We’ve already seen his confidence growing, and it’s clear she puts a lot of thought and care into her teaching. Highly recommend!

Anri-san has been the greatest help I could ask for in my Japanese learning journey. I tend to overthink minor points a lot and ask a lot of questions as a result, and Anri-san always answers whatever question I might have swiftly and clearly. She's been nothing but patient with me, and I look forward to every lesson. Cannot recommend her enough!

My 7yo son likes Anri-san's lesson. Her lesson is engaging and easy to follow. Can't wait to see my son to have full Japanese conversations with Anri-san!

Had a few lessons and really enjoying them! I'm a total beginner, but Anri explains everything clearly in English and adjusts the lessons to fit my needs. Also gives helpful tips for remembering words.
