Today I had yet again an amazing lesson! I got exactly what I expected and wished for: Conversational practice, Homework checking and New grammer in a nice and structured way. She never makes me feel nervous or awkward which really motivates me to speak more Japanese. Personally, I always want to know what to do next so Fumi sensei prepares homework exercises which is really helpful!

I can't recommend Fumi sensei enough! She is incredibly patient and always helps me with grammar and vocabulary using relatable examples, which makes it much easier to understand. I was initially very anxious about speaking Japanese, but she created a comfortable environment that put me at ease. Now, I no longer feel nervous before our lessons and truly look forward to them :)

Fumi Sensei is the best teacher ever! She’s very kind, patient, and helpful. Her energetic and cheerful attitude while teaching really makes learning more fun and exciting. She corrects you nicely if you get things wrong, and doesn’t get frustrated with you. Her lessons are also more personalized than others I’ve had. She asks about your pets, how your day went, what time it is there, and if you did anything exciting that weekend. I feel it helps prepare you more for real world conversation, even when you’re just getting started with Japanese. She also asks you if there’s anything specific you would like to learn first, or if you have a main goal. My main goal was to be prepared for when we travel to Japan in a year, so she’s been helping me speak through scenarios and common phrases I might encounter when we arrive. If you’re still searching for a teacher, you should definitely choose Fumi, you won’t regret it! 😊 She’s 100/10.
