I really enjoyed this lesson. The teacher was very patient and made the lesson interactive, which helped me understand the material much better. We reviewed grammar, particles, listening practice, and JLPT-style questions. He explained mistakes clearly and gave me structured homework and study recommendations based on my goals. The lesson was well organized and adapted to my current level. I felt comfortable asking questions, and the time went by very quickly because I was actively participating throughout the lesson.

The lesson was amazing. He was very knowledgeable on what grammar and practice lessons I needed for the problems I specifically had. My Japanese is all over the place because I self taught myself and he was able to condense what I was missing into the lesson which is very important for learners like myself. The lesson was enjoyable and highly remarkable compared to constantly watching for random material by myself so having a tutor 1 on 1 was perfect.

Ray was very friendly and made me feel comfortable trying to speak Japanese. The trial lesson used graded reading material and shadowing-style practice. I liked that he kept things mostly in Japanese while still making it approachable. It was a positive first lesson, and I'd be interested to see more of his teaching style. I can see his experience in making comprehensible input material in the way he teaches. Given that's where I first saw him as a teacher it made sense haha.

Very helpful with clear examples and explanations. Learning Japanese in a college class only hit the surface of grammar but I was helped with adding more depth to some of the particles and sentence structure. Very helpful and engaging lesson! Thank you!

Taking Japanese classes through school felt like passing the class was the main focus rather than learning Japanese. I felt more comfortable and less pressured to make mistakes and understand some simple grammar points better. I’ve had calls in my class that felt pressured if I didn’t know that weeks information and with a fast paced class, its easy to be overwhelmed. Overall, this lesson helped out with my confidence and felt like I was aiming to learn more through my mistakes rather than stress about getting a bad grade. Thank you!
