Mika is an exceptional teacher that I would recommend to any English speaker interested in learning Japanese. She's very engaged, explains the material thoroughly, and provides lots of helpful feedback. More than that, she's willing to go the extra mile and provide students with quite a bit of useful material free of charge. Something I was particularly grateful for was a Google Doc she made before my trip to Japan a few months ago which included grammar and phrases that were more refined and trip focused than the material you find in all of the popular Japanese textbooks. I wound up downloading to my phone and referring to it throughout my trip. Just a great teacher all around.

Mika先生 is great! It was really helpful to use the textbook together, and she provided slides of her own as well. The lesson was really fun and enjoyable overall and I can already tell that the new vocabulary and grammar I learned will be easy to remember thanks to her lesson.

I have been taking lessons with Mika Sensei for 9 months. She has been patient, encouraging, and thoughtful in her teaching. We just finished Genki 2 and I couldn't be more thankful for her helping me on my long journey of learning Japanese. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to learn! ミカ先生には９ヶ月間レッスンを受けています。ミカ先生はいつも根気強く、励ましてくれて、細やかです。最近GENKI2を終えました。日本語学習の長い道のりを支えてくれて、本当に感謝しています。日本語を勉強したい方に、ミカ先生のレッスンを心からお勧めします。

先生はいつも優しくてプロで、毎回の会話を通じて、自分の会話力が上達していると実感しています。 また、ビジネスの先輩として、日本の職場マナーやメールの書き方を丁寧に教えてくださり、心より感謝しています!☺️💞💞 MIKA sensei is always kind and professional.I feel my spoken Japanese improving through lessons. Moreover,as a business mentor,she helps me learn a great deal about business manner and professional email writing.I am truly grateful for all her help!☺️💞💞

As always, Mika Sensei's lesson was really helpful and fun, and made me more confident in speaking Japanese. And as always, she is really patient when I take a while to remember words! :)

As usual, Mika Sensei's lesson was fun and I learned a lot. I always feel like her lessons are safe to try new words and phrases and that it's okay to make mistakes. She always helps me say what I'm trying to say and she never makes me feel bad for forgetting something or not understanding something. She is always kind, patient, and helpful.
