Meg san is such a great teacher! The material she brings to the classes are diverse and effective! Oftentimes, I have to remind myself that our lessons are completely in Japanese because I am at a point now where I can understand!

Meg-san is a very encouraging teacher. She provides examples to help sharpen my grammar weak spots. Meg-san is also flexible and is willing to tailor lessons to my needs.

Today I was easily able to follow along with the story text during the lesson, including almost all of the kanji. It was excellent practice and something I wasn't able to do until very recently, so the improvement is obvious. Arigato!!
