It's amazing how much my confidence in speaking has improved since taking sessions with Saki san. I used to get so nervous before each class, thinking about what we would talk about, and rehearsing things to say. Now, I feel pretty comfortable just coming to the session and talking about our weeks and anything else that comes to mind. Even though I know I don't always use the proper grammar or conjugations, Saki san never seems put off and will gently correct me when it's appropriate. She makes the session feel very safe and comfortable for me to just try and express my thoughts. I'm so thankful for her!

Today, Saki san and I talked about a recent trip I went on as well as a museum exhibit she visited recently. It was a lot of fun sharing about our experiences. Saki san is always genuinely interested in what I have to say and that gives me courage to try to express myself. Though I stumble many times in our conversations, she is incredibly patient and kindly supports me as I struggle to get my thoughts out. Thank you, Saki san!

I have learned so much since I started taking lessons with Saki! I can see real progress and feel so encouraged by our classes! 私のだいすきな先生はさきさんです！Best teacher I've ever had!

Best teacher ever! Every week I feel more comfortable and confident with my Japanese! She is extremely patient, helpful, and explains information in such a clear way! I would recommend her lessons to anyone interested in learning Japanese!

Saki is the best Japanese teacher and conversation partner I've ever had. She perfectly calibrates how much to push me to improve my grammar without feeling like I can't get my message or story across. Every session she's always encouraging me and helping me understand Japan better.

Today, Saki san and I chatted about movies, her family's recent visit, and pets. It was really fun and I love having these kinds of conversations about everyday things. Thanks to my classes with Saki san, I find myself feeling more and more comfortable trying to express my thoughts and ask questions in Japanese, and being okay even if I make mistakes.
