10+ years of teaching experience! I will be your perfect guide in learning Japanese ;) Hi, guys! My name is Izumi. I'm from Kumamoto, Japan.

I enjoy my lessons with Izumi very much! We are doing lessons together since 11 months now once a week and I can really feel how my Japanese has improved which makes me very happy. She is always well organized, professional, motivating and just a fun person to be around.

I highly recommend Izumi's class! Her teaching style works the best for how I learn with very engaging material from a unique textbook. I feel like I've learned and improved exponentially since I started lessons with her. She is very encouraging and conversations are always a lot of fun. I also always appreciate her honest feedback and corrections which helps me learn and understand the language even better! ありがとうございました!

Izumi-san's trial lesson was fantastic. Her friendly demeanor, clear communication, and engaging teaching style made me feel at ease. I'm excited to have signed up for her package and look forward to continuing my Japanese learning journey with her.
