I'm so happy that I found Saki-san. She has the perfect balance between listening and letting the conversation flow naturally....and correcting and teaching. She is patient and kind, but also she is very interesting to talk to. The hourlong sessions go by so quickly! I look forward to our future lessons together.

Saki sensei is such an amazing teacher! She is super kind, patient, and supportive 💖 She’s always prepared for the lessons and very punctual 😸 Since I started taking classes with her my speaking abilities have improved a lot because she teaches me the most natural way to express my ideas, and she always waits patiently for me to finish my sentences and try my best 🥰 Also, she speaks very clearly and at a pace that is not too fast for me, which is perfect since comprehension is my biggest weakness in Japanese 🙈 Now that I’m studying Kanji, she writes every new vocabulary word in Kana and Kanji. This definitely helps me with understanding the meaning of new words that I’m learning and memorizing the readings much better 💖 I’m so happy that I found Saki sensei, and I truly recommend her classes to anyone who is learning Japanese! 🇯🇵💖 サキひめ、本当にありがとう❣️

Great lesson with Saki! We looked at the sentences I wrote and Saki helped me fix them. We reviewed the て form so that we can use the short past form, since Saki saw that I made some mistakes with the short past form. We continued on lesson 11 with ことがあります and や, so are pretty much done with lesson 11. Saki is very positive and keeps motivation high!

My first lesson with Saki-sensei was great! She is very kind and easy to talk to. The conversation felt natural and fun. She spoke clearly, so I could understand almost everything, and she explained things patiently when I didn’t. She was attentive and encouraging. The time went by so fast, and I’m already looking forward to our next lesson!

Great lesson with Saki! We reviewed the workbook pages that I did, and Saki helped me correct them. After that, we started with lesson 12. We looked at the vocabulary, then the first grammar point. Saki really explained the grammar point well. She is always positive and upbeat!

Saki Sensei is an excellent and flexible teacher. She quickly adapted to new topics (New Year, Christmas) and gave me very practical corrections. It was a useful and fun conversation. Highly recommended!
