Watana-sensei is very good about helping me to expand my vocabulary and be more precise in my expressions. Her being fluent in English also helps when there is a particular phrasing I wish to convey with some nuance in Japanese.

Watana San is very friendly and correct me on the spot. Always having great chat with Watana San and able to learn a lot from our conversation. The lesson was full of laughter and informative at the same time. Can't wait for our next lesson. Thank you Watana San.

I have taken several lessons with Watana-sensei and have genuinely enjoyed all of them. Although I’m still at an upper beginner level, these sessions have been extremely helpful and can feel myself improving with every lesson. Watana-sensei is always patient and understanding, and always takes the time to provide thoughtful feedback at the end of each sessions, even when we run slightly over time.

When I started lessons with Watana-san, I couldn't understand any Japanese conversations. After a couple of months of (almost) weekly practice, I can now understand quite a bit. This is a testament to her patience & skill as a mentor. I'm very thankful to have learned a lot from her.
