一年間、タマ先生と勉強しています。教えることが上手いです！いつもレッスンが教育的で楽しいんです。先生はよく訂正してくれますが、私に恥ずかしくさせません。性格が面白くて優しいでいつも役に立ちます。去年レッスンを始めて良かったよ！毎週、レッスンを楽しみにします。おすすめです。ありがとうございました😊
I have been studying with Tama for a year now. If you work with Tama, you will work on every aspect of learning Japanese. She offers SO many useful corrections without ever making you feel overwhelmed or embarrassed, and encourages you when you succeed. She is so nice and very funny- she is always making me laugh. She gets to know you, takes her job seriously, and makes the learning environment and curriculum suited to your needs. I look forward to our lesson every week and could not recommend them more highly! If you want to learn and have fun, take lessons with Tama!
