I've had 3 conversation practice classes with Kanako-san and I've already booked another 7 more before my trip to Japan!! Kanako-san is encouraging, patient and really easy to talk to. She gives me the confidence to express my thoughts and feelings in Japanese and I'm all the more excited for my trip because of our lessons! I wanted to practice a couple of scenarios with her for my trip (e.g. restaurant, shopping) and she came prepared to the lessons with a specific Google Doc for me with handy phrases suitable for my level! It genuinely feels like chatting with a friend and I feel like that's the best way to learn! She's always thinking about specific phrases or vocab that I personally would need, rather than just generic ones and I really appreciate that thoughtfulness. Kanako-san is also extremely fluent in English so there's no issue there. Thank you Kanako-sensei!!

I really enjoyed my first lesson with Kanako-sensei! She is very kind and fun to talk to. She adapted well to my level, and I found her Japanese easy to understand. She gave me great feedback with examples in the chat box, too. I look forward to taking more lessons from her!

I had another great lesson with Kanako san. We were able to speak about a variety of topics. Since she can speak English very well, we were able to continue even when i got stuck. She is very encouraging and patient. kanakoさん、ありがとうございます!

We did my self introduction. Then we discussed it. And Kanako-sensei pointed out my mistakes. I asked a lot of questions and she patiently answered all of them.
