I can not say enough amazing things about Saki-Sensei! Lessons are very insightful and I feel very comfortable in her presence that I can make mistakes and even if I get it wrong we will work on it until I get it correct. I appreciate Saki-sensei very much!

Just to give perspective, I am a complete beginner and just made it to lesson 2 in the Genki book but have been really enjoying my lessons with Saki-san. She’s incredibly patient with me. I don’t feel intimidated and the 1 hour lessons somehow go so fast! She’s a great teacher and even though I’m so new, I have so many chances to practice speaking and comprehension with her, which I think is key to language-learning. Highly recommend!

Saki-san is a great tutor, really patient and fun to work with! Definitely recommend! I am still early in learning Japanese and the sessions help me practice live recall, speaking and listening. Very different from the coursework and experience from the classroom. I feel that it is helping me learn Japanese better.

Today was my first lesson with Saki-san. It was honestly really fun and we were able to start learning right away. The lesson was very organised but also easy to fit to my needs. The material was well prepared. I really appreciated how much practice I was able to get and how helpful Saki-san was with giving me the space to figure out the answers myself, and then pointing out mistakes and making improvement suggestions. This is exactly what I've been looking for after being stuck in this limbo of not being able to figure out how to improve my Japanese further. If you're in the same boat as me, I highly recommend Saki-san as your teacher. I'm going to book many more lessons with her :). Saki-san, thank you so much for a wonderful first lesson.

Saki is a fantastic and patient teacher. She keeps me engaged during our lesson and includes follow up materials on points we covered so I can continue to learn on my own until our next session.
