I highly recommend Hina Sensei for anyone who is looking to seriously improve their language skills, whether through the JLPT or otherwise. Thanks to Hina Sensei’s well structured lessons and thoughtful feedback, I’ve been able to make more progress than I thought possible. As a person who best learns by doing, I can read textbook explanations and examples all day and not truly understand. But Hina Sensei’s lessons always make me directly engage with the material right away and I learn so much faster this way. Hina Sensei also has tons of in-depth knowledge of the JLPT and learning and putting her strategies into action is really helping me improve. I know this test is a big challenge for me but with Hina Sensei’s guidance I think I’ve got a chance 😊

I’ve been taking Japanese speaking lessons with Hina sensei, and I honestly couldn’t be happier. She is incredibly patient, kind, and always explains things in a way that’s easy to understand. Every lesson feels comfortable and encouraging, which is so important for speaking practice. She adjusts the pace perfectly to my level, corrects my mistakes, and gives me phrases I can really use in daily life. I can feel my confidence growing each week. If you’re looking for a teacher who is supportive and professional, I highly recommend Hina sensei.

Today’s JLPT preparation lesson with Hina Sensei was fantastic as always. I’ve worked with a number of good teachers on this platform and Hina Sensei is hands down the best of the best. In each lesson I get so much from Hina Sensei that I could never get on my own via self study, including nuanced grammar explanations, reading strategies, or approaches for dealing with unfamiliar words. I’m grateful that I am able to work with Hina Sensei and and I’m really happy I’ve made so much progress since I started lessons with her. There’s still a lot of work to do with only 2 months until the test, but having Hina Sensei on my side gives me a lot of confidence!

去年夏天刚认识Hina老师的时候，我才从N5开始学习日语。现在我已经顺利通过了N2，也开始准备N1了。一路走来，Hina老师一直陪伴着我，不仅教我怎样把学过的语法和词汇真正运用到会话中，也总是在我紧张、没有信心的时候，温柔地安慰和鼓励我。 真的觉得自己非常幸运，能够在网上遇到这么适合自己的老师。第一次上课后，我曾经给老师写过一条评价，现在想再留下一条，记录自己新的学习阶段。 接下来我也会继续努力。希望有一天，能等到老师笑着对我说：“你现在说日语，真的已经很像日本人了！”期待和老师一起继续学习，也非常感谢Hina老师一直以来的陪伴和鼓励！❤️

Hina老师，真的是个非常温柔的老师，我在日本留学，但是由于平时认识的日本人很少，遇到日本人不敢开口害怕说错，日语虽然一直在学却进步缓慢。老师会很有耐心的等我表达，会引导我说，只是几节课口语就很有进步了，之前只是会做题，但是口语听力非常差，非常非常感谢老师给我的帮助！

Today’s lesson was fantastic as usual. Hina Sensei continues to deliver lessons that teach in ways that I cannot get from self-study alone. Even though I’d already made my way through most of the Kanzen Master Reading book on my own, in today’s lesson Hina Sensei gave some really helpful guidance around the reading comprehension section that I had not been able to grasp on my own. Her explanations are always clear and she really breaks the important points down in ways that make me think about and truly understand the material. If JLPT is your focus or if you’re trying to level up your skills, I highly recommend working with Hina Sensei
