Mika-san was very friendly and patient with me. While I'm advanced in listening and reading, I haven't spoken much and frequently trip up or struggle to express myself. I hope to get better at speaking and I think meeting with Mika-san to chat casually will be helpful in my journey. I definitely recommend her as a tutor!

We went over my goals and what we should plan on studying during lesson time. Mika was very helpful, speaks clearly, gives examples and small practice exercises, and is very nice. I am looking forward to taking more lessons :)
