Meika

I have been having lessons with Meika sensei close to 12 months and intend to continue having lessons with her next year. Meika is a passionate teacher with many resources. I highly recommend her blog for her short stories that provide reading practice and learning new words and grammar. Meika's lessons are well structured and fun. She is a very good language teacher and I highly recommend her for all levels of Japanese language learning.

Today was my first Japanese class ever and I’m so glad I chose Meikaさん. She is very funny and makes you feel very relaxed. We started with Hiragana (Japanese letters), numbers 0-10, and a few basic greetings. She also gives homework (if you want/have time to do it) to help you practice what you learned during the lesson. She has you repeat sounds, words, and phrases so you can practice speaking and memorize what you are learning, and reviews as you go, to make sure you’re not forgetting anything. The best part for me was that I was having fun while learning. I look forward to our next lesson. Arigatō gozaimasu!

First full hour lesson with Meika. She was incredibly prepared and sent me print outside of the kanji and vocab we would be going over in class ahead of time. It was a very structured and professional style class which I really enjoyed. Meika made sure we stayed on schedule and helped explain anything that I didn't understand. We spent the start of class practicing conversation, then after words studied kanji and worked on practice sentences using them. She was very patient and kind which made class feel very comfortable. She even sent a recap of what kanji we went over and the homework that was assigned. I really enjoy he focused and planned out lessons as they help me learn easier! I would definitely recommend her!
