I really enjoy working with Tama! She is a a very patient professor. She really listens both to what you are saying and what you hope to achieve. She's incredibly kind and supportive as a professional tutor. It can be nerve-wracking and sometimes embarrassing when you are trying to speak for the first time in a language you are learning. She's a joy to learn from and interact with and kindly corrects your pronunciation. Excellent teacher, cannot recommend her enough!

I can not say enough nice things about Tama-san. She was so understanding and communicative. She really listens to what your learning style is and provides the support you need to be successful. I am so thankful that she was able to meet with me and intend to continue our lessons in the future. 11/10 Wonderful experience!
