I have been studying Japanese with Hana Sensei for almost two years. When I first started, it was challenging to say even a few words in Japanese. Hana Sensei has helped me immensely in developing my speaking, listening, and reading skills. She is an amazing person and teacher: encouraging, kind, engaging, caring, and fun! These qualities are what make her an exceptionally gifted teacher. I feel very lucky and look forward to continuing my Japanese learning journey with her.

Hana sensei is a skillful and experienced teacher that loves her job and one of the coolest people I have met. Her grammar lessons helped me pass the JLPT2 ahead of my target date. How? - She picked a notebook that was perfect for me. All of its 100+ grammar points come with audio example sentences. Ideal for someone with a good ear memory and little time to study - Her presentation document follows the textbook but adds a lot of useful information: explanations on obscure points, comparisons with other expressions, precisions on usage (formal/informal, ...) and funny illustrations - For each grammar point, I had to read the example sentences out loud one by one (useful for the reading practice). I also had to invent one example sentence. When I was too lazy and came up with a beginner-level sentence, she would challenge me, gently but firmly, to do better Of course I did the homework too, but if I passed that exam, it's in no small part thanks to Hana Sensei's guidance. Merci Madame !
