Seiko-sensei is great! During our first session, she was patient with me and worked hard to find the best pacing for our class that would not be too fast or slow for me. I will definitely be scheduling other classes with her.

With the expertise from her major and the experience from years of teaching, Seiko Sensei explains grammar points clearly, and helps me find the the right words based on what I want to say. She is friendly, knowledgeable, talkative, and can carry a lively two-way conversation, which is very important in a private conversation lesson. I highly recommend Seiko Sensei to anyone looking for a 1-on-1 Japanese teacher.
