My lessons & teaching style
Our class has a lot of conversation. I teach in Japanese, but only use English, translation if you are not sure. The conversation theme can be prepared by me, but you can decide!

This was my tenth lesson with Kiki-sensei, so I feel qualified to say that she's an excellent teacher. I wanted someone focusing on everyday talking - no grammar, no kanji, no homework -, and she is perfect for that: nice, open, and just a pleasure to talk to. She made me more confident speaking Japanese.

The lectures are dynamic and fun. I am always learning new things during lectures, also culturally.
Kiki-sensei prioritized topics and role plays for my trip to Japan, and this was really helpful. My Japanese conversation and pronunciation skills improved a lot!
Thank you ありがとうございました、Kiki-sensei!

Kikiさん has some really fantastic qualities as a teacher. She has incredibly good energy and keeps the conversation lively and very fun. In fact, from our first lesson I felt like I was speaking with a close friend. She's also highly intelligent. She's able to speak about a wide range of very intriguing topics spanning a range of genres all the while teaching me the highest level Japanese words I've ever learned. Consequently, I really look forward to our conversations because I consider Kikiさん to be a great friend at this point that I can have very thought-provoking and fun conversations with.

Kiki is such a lovely person to talk to. Even though my Japanese is very limited, she patiently builds conversations with me and teaches me new words.
