I really enjoy my conversation lessons with Sakura sensei. She is patient, friendly and kind. Through her encouragement I have gained confidence in expressing myself in spoken Japanese, and am no longer so afraid of making mistakes. I highly recommend having lessons with Sakura sensei.

Sakura-san is so easy to talk to and is very patient about waiting while I try to find the right words. She is kind and has a pleasant personality - our lessons always seem to go by so quickly as we chat about our daily lives. I recommend her as a teacher for conversation practice. Her availability is also good for the UK time zone.

I always have a lot of fun when i'm talking with Sakura sensei. The lessons help me speak and understand more casual and native speech than if i only learned through a textbook. I always feel comfortable with every conversation and look forward to the next lesson each time.
いつもありがとうございます!必ず夏の後は戻ります~

There' s always something new to learn, even when going through grammar I self studied. Being able to speak every week has helped immensely. I always look forward to my lessons with さくら先生。

Always provides examples to help me better understand and inputs the kanji into the chat so that I can also look things up in the dictionary whilst chatting. Is great at leading conversations and always asks follow-up questions to ensure a smooth conversation. 10/10

It has been about 2 years since I've had a lesson with Sakura-sensei and it was fun to catch up and practice my Japanese. Sakura sensei was patient as always and made sure that there were no awkward moments as I eased back into practicing my Japanese
