Lessons with Lisaさん are the highlight of my day. Lisaさん has a fantastic, kind, and uplifting personality; and as a result, she makes all lessons fun. Additionally, she is a great teacher that adeptly sets her speaking level to my own while also introducing me to new vocabulary and grammar. I've seen a lot of different teachers on iTalki and Lisaさん is amongst a very small percentage that will transcribe newly introduced words in kanji, kana and English (most teachers will only write in kanji and kana). This makes it so incredibly easy for me to input the newly introduced words into my flashcard application. It's really difficult to find a teacher that has a great personality, great teaching skills and writes out new words in such a comprehensive way. I feel very lucky that I found Lisaさん as my iTalki teacher.

理紗さん每次都把课程内容和上课节奏安排的很好。重要且困难的语法点,她总结简化后,用学生容易理解的方式呈现在了ppt上,她对于知识点的解释非常得简洁有力易懂。在课堂上,互动性得到了充分的体现。她会和我一起将我们学习的句子、表达方式,带入生活实情中造句,顺带延伸教我一些日常口语表达和新语法点。 理紗さん比起说是老师,她更像是一位健谈友好的朋友,会与学生分享新潮有趣的文化、实事。另外、她的英文很好而且很耐心,完全不用担心交流问题,跟着她的思路学习,气氛活跃,整节课学下来有收获、欣喜,因此对课程兴趣浓厚。非常推荐和她一起学习~ 本当にありがとうございました!!

I had my lesson with Lisa recently, and I was thoroughly impressed. From the very beginning, she created a warm and supportive atmosphere that immediately put me at ease, which is so important when you're starting a new language.
Her teaching style is structured yet flexible, and she makes sure you are engaged throughout the entire session. The 30-minute trial flew by!
I left the lesson feeling motivated and confident that I can make real progress with her guidance.

Lisa is my favorite Italki teacher (I've tried like 15+). She is very patient and encouraging, she is funny and friendly, she's good at teaching (in English when needed), and she sends the best, most detailed notes after the lessons. We've done close to 70 lessons now! I'm very grateful to have found such a good teacher!

Lisa-san was incredibly kind, attentive, and caring during our first lesson. I really enjoyed speaking Japanese with her and will definitely do it again later !

リサ先生 (Lisa) is such a fantastic teacher. She is incredibly patient, and really takes the time to help me learn. She answers all questions, and goes beyond just providing basic answers - she is able to explain in depth why things are written or said certain ways. Even though I’m a beginner and make a lot of mistakes, she never makes me feel bad, and is in fact very supportive and encouraging. I highly recommend her for any level of Japanese learning!
