Manami

My experience learning under Manami Sensei these past couple of weeks has been excellent. Her well-paced instruction and consistent use of interactive pair work has been incredibly beneficial. I feel I've made significant progress and learned a substantial amount in this short time.

Ms. Manami is knowledgeable about current events and brings them into conversation. Discussing and talking about them helps me utilize the Japanese I have learned and she corrects or provides Grammer and new vocabulary. It has been very helpful and provides a real and practical element to the classes.

선생님과 3년정도 수업을 해 온 결과 올해 혼자서 일본 여행을 무시히 다녀왔습니다. 선생님께서 정말로 감사 드리며 적극 추천 합니다^^

I've been studying under Sensei for the past two years, and I can say that my Japanese ability has improved by leaps and bounds. More specifically, you will get lots of speaking practice alongside reviewing material in class (reading and grammer practice) and a ton of writing practice outside of class as homework. Essentially her lessons cover all the bases you need (outside of Kanji studying which you may need to do in your own time) to become proficient in Japanese! I would definitely recommend Sensei to anyone that is genuinely looking to study Japanese and become proficient in the language!

Almost 20 lessons learning Japanese with Manami-sensei, and I’m beyond impressed by how much progress I’ve made. She’s friendly, energetic, and very easy to talk to, which makes every lesson comfortable and engaging. What makes Manami-sensei's lessons truly stand out is how incredibly well prepared she is for every class: she is fully focused on the class, paying close attention to pronunciation, grammar, and questions. Every lesson is clearly prepared in advance, with all necessary materials ready to use—no minute of class time is wasted. Her explanations are always clear, and the materials she uses are top-tier, combining self-made resources with well-known textbooks. She also puts strong emphasis on homework, giving careful corrections and suggesting more natural Japanese expressions. She provides detailed feedback, making it easy to know what to work on next. ありがとうございました、まなみ先生！

After completing a package of ten lessons with Manami sensei, I still cannot believe how lucky I am to be learning Japanese with a teacher who is truly the best match for me. Her classes are dynamic, well structured, and always intellectually stimulating. She prepares clear materials and meaningful homework that reinforce everything we cover in class. I usually dislike doing homework because I already have a lot from other language courses, and it can feel overwhelming, but sensei gives tasks that are genuinely useful. They help me practice writing, and the vocabulary stays in my memory much more easily. I have just bought another package because I do not want to study with anyone else. A truly exceptional teacher. (I can say that after completing 2000 hours on the platform studying other languages and doing trial lessons to find this gem ^^)
