Tomomi-san is so nice to talk to! Very friendly and supportive. I was taking lessons with her regularly and then took a break for a bit, but now I've returned because I would like more speaking practice. I'm glad Tomomi-san is still on italki!

I really enjoy my lessons with Tomomi san. She is patient and able to explain grammatical structures, and then gets me to use the learnt structures in free sentences which helps to see how they are relevant in real speech. I always look forward to the next lesson!

I always learn something new in our lessons. Tomomi sensei is patient, even when I misread the same kanji over and over.
