I've had 9 lessons with Rie-sensei now, and I cannot recommend her enough. She is very patient with me (I am still very novice!) and engages with me brilliantly, and has made me feel very comfortable trying to push myself and try to give more complex answers which is helping me a lot - and should say a lot as I am not made comfortable very easily! She's excellent, a great listener, encouraging and just very very good at what she does.

I really enjoy my conversation lessons with Rie-sensei. She is patient, helpful and accommodating. She was happy for us to try some easy reading exercises, because I really needed the help. I am most grateful for this. Rie-sensei is always friendly and also ready to chat about any topic. I highly recommend her lessons!

Rie-san is very patient and kind. She really understands my needs for learning Japanese and the lesson match them. At the same time, she makes sure I don’t miss out on important grammar knowledge. I love how she constantly encourages me to practice — it not only strengthens my grammar but also helps me remember new vocabulary more effectively. This is exactly the kind of learning style I enjoy.
この先生の授業が本当に好きですよ!✨

Rie sensei will teach you grammar and a lot of vocabulary that are useful in daily conversation. She always listens to you very attentively and helps to correct your grammar. A very bright and sunny person that you can feel very safe and comfortable to talk with. Learn a lot of stuff and have a lot of fun in each lesson.
Thank youuuuu!
