Masa is calm, patient, and understanding. He is really good at implying meaning thru context clues. I highly recommend his services.

It didn’t seem like he was paying much attention. Sometimes, regardless of whether he understood me or not, he would just say, “面白いですね。”

Masa was very nice and open to casual chatting and allowing me to practice my speaking in a comfortable environment. He found interesting topics to talk about that matched my level even when we only had a short time. If you're looking for a safe space to practice and get some feedback and corrections Masa would be a good teacher for you.
