Hello, my name is Makiko. I live in Kanagawa prefecture, Japan. I enjoy playing piano and cello, watching Japanese TV dramas, and Japanese animes. And I love traveling (abroad and domestic), and designs and modern arts. I'm also learning English, so I know the fun and the struggle to learn language.

I love Makiko Sensei's lessons. Recently, she agreed with my suggestion to spend some time on communication in addition to our current textbook and grammar learning, so that I can truly communicate in Japanese.

Makiko sensei has been wonderful in helping me progress in Japanese over the past few months. Her lessons have truly been invaluable in my growth as a Japanese learner (and eventual speaker)! I always enjoy her lessons and I know that any students she has in the future will absolutely enjoy her teaching methods! まきこ先生、ありがとうございます!:)

Makiko Sensei のもとで日本語を勉強して1年、授業中も授業後もたくさん練習してきました。今は第一段階を終え、すべての内容を自分自身で復習する時間が必要だと思っています。 根気よく教えてくれる先生を探している初心者の方に、私は Makiko Sensei をお勧めします。
