Hi! My name is Mana and I’m from Kobe, Japan. Before becoming a Japanese teacher, I used to work at companies in Tokyo. I have also lived in Mexico. I like traveling, cooking, walking and learning languages. I love the cultural exchange of talking with people from all over the world. I’m looking forward to seeing you in the class! こんにちは!私の名前は、Manaです。 私は日本の神戸出身です。以前は東京で働いていました。 メキシコに住んでいたことがあります。 私の趣味は、旅行、料理、散歩、言語を学ぶことです。 世界中の文化に興味があり、いろいろな国の人と話すことが大好きです。 みなさんとお話しできるのを楽しみにしています!

Mana-San is incredibly patient. I’m struggling but she corrects what I say and explains why. She is knowledgeable, very pleasant to work with and again patient. I would recommend her to anyone wanting to study Japanese grammar or improve their conversational skills.

Mana Sensei is a great teacher. I’ve learned so much from her. She is very kind but also corrects me and helps me with my grammar and pronunciation. She is very knowledgeable and will work with you at the level you need.

There are many fantastic teachers on this platform and Mana-san sits atop them all! She's thoughtful, patient, kind, and deeply knowledgeable about language learning. She provides multiple modes of instruction -- books, exercises she's made, conversation, roleplaying, cultural exchanges, etc. -- and meets the individual where they're at. Lessons with Mana-san are fun, engaging, and challenging. I found Japanese to be difficult, but through it all, Mana-san maintained a light-hearted, encouraging demeanor, especially as the rigor and complexity increased. There has yet to be a question that she did not have an answer for, and the methods she employs for breaking down new concepts are invaluable. Her English fluency has also been hugely helpful, as we're able to dig into more nuanced aspects of each language. I can't recommend studying with Mana-san enough! She's the best! ありがとございました!
