Yasu sensei does a great job of providing structure and resources for his lessons while also allowing flexibility for the conversation to go off topic when it is helpful.

I had an enjoyable first lesson with Yasu Sensei. His teaching style is friendly and thoughtful, and he helped me identify the areas in which I can improve since I wasn't sure, myself. I'm already looking forward to the next lesson!
