Makiko

Makiko-sensei's lessons are always fun and my Japanese has already improved so much since I started learning with her. She is kind and patient, and provides feedback and corrections without it being overwhelming. Thanks to that I've become a lot more comfortable speaking Japanese. I look forward to improving further with her guidance.

For anyone interested in learning Japanese I highly recommend Makiko-sensei. I had been studying the Genki 1 book on my own for several months but wasn't really sure what kind of progress I was making. I scheduled a trial lesson with Makiko-sensei and feel so lucky and fortunate to have found her as my teacher. Ever since the trial lesson I've been taking classes once a week for a few months now and the hour session is always a highlight of my week that I look forward to. Makiko-sensei is a compassionate and patient teacher that makes learning enjoyable while always ensuring you actually learn the material. I constantly have questions and stumble over previously taught subjects but she always takes the time to review with me with a smile on her face. I'll soon be upping to 2-3 times a week because I enjoy learning from Makiko-sensei so much. I've always had a dream of learning the Japanese language and with the guidance of Makiko-sensei I believe I can make that dream a reality.

As always, I had a fun lesson with Makiko Sensei.

Makiko is doing a great job of preparing us for taking the JLPT N5 exam. She has given us a ton of useful practice, and is always so patient with us while we learn and study. She is a wonderful teacher!

Makiko Sensei is a wonderful teacher. She is very attentive and gives great examples.

Makiko provides so much good feedback during lessons! Even if I struggle with a grammar point or with a word, she helps me understand it during a lesson to be comfortable using it. I think she is one of my most valuable teachers, and anyone would be able to learn so much from her! Highly recommended!
