はな🌸

I have been taking lessons with Hana now 2x a week for a few months. We spend the first half in free conversation and the second half in a structured learning following the Genki textbooks, but Hana provides her own PPTs and examples. This is really helpful as I can do the textbook portion on my own, but provide more realistic (Genki is written towards a lot of student scenarios) and additional examples as well as ask questions for clarity with Hana. She provides all vocab and Kanji I do not know in the chat so i can reference after the lessons. I still have a long way to go, but forming sentences which was the hardest part for me and i can finally see that it is all coming together with Hana's teaching. I look forward to more lessons in the future.

I highly recommend Hana-sama as a Japanese Sensei for any Japanese learner. She was very kind, patient, engaging, and helped create a very safe atmosphere for a beginner like me. She asks great questions and allows for free speak plus gently correcting. I can't wait to have another lesson with her :)

The teacher is great 👍!The class atmosphere is so relaxed and pleasant. The teacher is good at guiding students to have topic discussions.

I have currently studied with her for six weeks I think. Each lesson we have dedicated the first half for free conversation and the second half for grammar study using materials provided by her. The conversations feel as natural as they can with my currently still very broken japanese. However, after every session I can feel my Japanese level rapidly progressing. She writes down all the new vocabulary and grammar in the chat which I then export to my SRS application for further review. Whenever I stumble, she first patiently lets me finish the sentence on my own, then responds, and also provides feedback on how I could actually create the sentence naturally with clear explanations. Whenever I have any questions, she responds promptly and thoroughly. Overall, the lessons feel very supportive and, most importantly, fun. I can definitely recommend her to anyone, and especially to anyone looking to improve their conversational skill levels. Thank you so much and see you next week!

Hana was patient and fun to learn with. We did some reading practice, and she asked me questions based on the material, which really helped reinforce my understanding. I enjoyed the lesson and felt engaged the whole time.

Hana san was very easy to talk to and helpful.
