I was looking for conversation practice and I got it! Maiko was very kind, helpful, and engaging. I recommend if you’re looking for someone to chat with who can teach you new things through natural conversation!

Maiko-san's lesson is soooo much fun! We discussed my trip plans and aside from grammar points, she shared some very appealing ramen options - it was amazing! Such a blast of positive energy, thanks so much for the lesson!

I had a great lesson with Maiko-san, we talked about a ton of different things including the differences between English and Japanese Mario character names, which I found fascinating. I definitely recommend that others take a lesson with her as well!
