‼️Sep 24th-Nov 15th my timezone is different. 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!🎇

I can't say enough good things about Saki Sensei. She is kind and patient and so good at recognizing your weaknesses and making adjustments in ways that don't make you feel like a failure or like you're being judged. It's also really fun to have someone to talk about mom things with in Japanese. An area I never even realized I would enjoy so much! Needless to say, I highly recommend!

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 a truly professional and dedicated teacher—she even attended our first class while her baby was sick, which I deeply appreciate. She guides step by step with patience, kindness, and bienveillance, creating a safe and motivating environment to learn such a challenging language. Her materials are based on visuals, she also shared a google link with ppt and notes prior to our lessons. She came on time and her teaching style suits my personality, relaxed class room, you can feel great in her class without any doubt! On top of all that, she can also teach in Portuguese and English—I highly recommend her!

I've been with Saki-san for over a year. She's very organized and makes the most out of our sessions. She's also very flexible at organizing lessons and homework. Highly recommend!
