I've been studying with Rie先生 for a few weeks, and I have thoroughly enjoyed our lessons so far. Speaking Japanese is my biggest challenge, but she creates a very supportive environment that allows me to learn without feeling self-conscious. I'm very excited to continue learning Japanese with Rie!

As I'm sure many can relate, I've wanted and tried to study Japanese on my own for the past decade, memorizing hiragana and katakana only to give up once "live got too busy." Eventually, I decided to really commit by finding a tutor, and I was so blessed and lucky to meet Tanaka-sensei. I cannot stress enough how helpful her classes have been! She is great at accommodating my needs and planning classes to proceed at my pace. I highly recommend her to anyone who needs an experienced, intelligent teacher to gently guide them while still actually teaching you new things every class in a structured manner (as someone with ADHD, this part has been especially crucial haha).
저는 지난 10년 동안 혼자서 일본어를 독학하려고 했지만 매번
히라가나와 가타카나만 외우다가 삶이 바빠지면 계속 포기하는 것을 반복해왔어요. 결국 “아 이러다 진짜 일본어 못 배우겠다” 싶어서 아예 과외 선생님을 찾아 같이 공부하는 것을 선택했어요. 이 과정에 다나카 선생님을 만난 것은 정말 신의 한 수라고 봐도 될 것 같아요! 선생님은 제 레벨과 부족한 부분들에 맞춰 수업을 진행하셔서 기초를 단단하게 다진 뒤 새로운 것들을 빠르게 배울 수 있었어요. 저와 비슷한 상황인 학생들한테도 꼭!! 선생님을 추천드리고 싶네요!

Rie-sensei est une excellente professeur qui sait donner confiance à ses élèves. Elle est très compétente, efficace, bienveillante et attentionnée. J'ai essayé plusieurs profs de japonais sur italki, mais Rie-sensei était la meilleure qui a su s'adapter à mes besoins. En peu de temps, je sens que mon niveau a progressé de manière significative. C'est un vrai plaisir de travailler avec elle. Je la recommande vivement !

Moving forward with JLPT prep focusing on listening. I appreciate all of the tips for things to look out for with test taking strategies. I think all the work we have done together leading up to today made the listening seem fairly simple too (at least easier than I thought it would be)

Another great lesson with Rie先生! She really takes the time to explain new language, as well as give you a chance (and feedback!) to practice using it.
