I'm Saki, from Okayama. I'm living in Brazil with my husband and my kids. I like meeting people from around the world and exchanging ideas with them! I understand how difficult to learn a language and adjust to a new culture because I'm a language learner too, married to a foreigner, and live abroad. instagram @ nihongo.wakatta Sou Saki, de Okayama. Atualmente moro no Brasil com meu marido e minha bebê. Gosto de conhecer pessoas de mundo inteiro e trocar ideias com eles! Entendo como é difícil aprender uma língua estrangeira e entender a outra cultura, porque eu também sou aprendiz de línguas, casada com estrangeiro e moro no exterior.

Primeiro que tudo, gostaria de agradecer à Professora Saki pela paciência e toda a ajuda ao longo deste último ano. Tem sido fundamental para a minha evolução e motivação para continuar a estudar. É muito simpática e paciente, explica com clareza e pergunta sempre se tenho dúvidas. Os trabalhos de casa ajudam muito a rever a matéria. Como a Professora Saki os corrige e devolve com as correcções, consigo ver onde errei e aprender. Também conversamos sobre temas actuais, o que é óptimo para practicar conversação e ganhar confiança. A Professora encoraja-me a continuar, mesmo quando cometo erros. Vai apontando novas palavras, frases e expressões num documento partilhado que uso para rever. Gosto muito também da variedade de materiais que usa nas aulas: jogos, flashcards, áudios, vídeos e o livro Genki para aprender ou practicar vocabulário e gramática. Saki先生、本当にありがとうございます!

I've been taking lessons with Saki for more than year now and have seen quite a lot of progress - and, most importantly, the lessons have never felt like work! In our have discussed a wide range of themes from daily life to cultural differences to societal questions. Back when I started taking lessons with Saki, I was at Genki chapter 4 and pretty much a total beginner, and even then she managed to explain things clearly and keep the lessons interesting every single time. Can't recommend her high enough! さきさん、今年もお世話になります、来年もよろしくお願いします!🎇

Saki sensei is the best! I learn a lot during every lesson, and it’s so much more than just vocabulary lists that I have to memorize.

Saki is nothing short of a phenomenal teacher. She goes out of her way to tailor lessons to each student, and is constantly looking for ways to improve her method. From the start I have always loved the notes she provides, allowing me to review any vocab or grammar points we've learned. She also goes over things we've learned in previous lessons, so I don't forget important things ! Looking forward to another great year with Saki ✨今年もよろしくね!

Saki-sensei is OUTSTANDING!!! She has helped me gain so much confidence and practice with my speaking, and is so patient and understanding with me as I stumble around for words. Conversations always feel cooperative yet guided, I don't think I've ever once felt awkward. We also do writing practices, homework review, and textbook-guided lessons, which are all incredibly helpful for giving the lesson a structure that I deeply appreciate. Highly, highly recommended!

Saki sensei has been an amazing help in learning Japanese! I definitely wouldn’t be as far into my language learning without her guidance, clear explanations, encouragement, and willingness to answer my numerous questions. I highly recommend Saki Sensei to anyone wanting to learn Japanese!
