Rie

Rie's lessons are perfect for nervous learners who could use some encouragement! I book conversations with her, and we spend the time talking - she's happy to provide topics, ask questions, and keep the conversation going so it never feels awkward. It's a great way to practice with a native speaker and gain more confidence.

Rie-sensei is always so fun and so friendly! If you want a kind teacher that makes you feel successful at learning Japanese, Rei-sensei is the teacher for you. Do yourself a favor and check her out. :)

Rie-san was very patient, reviewing vocabulary as much as I needed to, and giving me time to digest concepts and put them together. I also appreciate that she incorporated information regarding my family’s current situation (an unexpectedly sooner relocation to Kansai than we expected) into planning. With that information, she helped me create goals and milestones suiting what I would need. It’s very apparent that she is experienced, purposeful, and thoughtful.

Please check out Rie-sensei if you are starting Japanese and you need an encouraging tutor who will explain everything clearly. She is so kind and always makes sure you understand the materials, so you never feel confused. I always look forward to my lessons with her!

I really like Rie's lessons - as someone who's forgotten a lot of Japanese I'm always very nervous speaking and forget a lot of words and grammar. She's very patient and kind, so even stumbling through broken Japanese is still fun. I really appreciate her kindness, patience, and good energy.

Rie-san is very friendly and her lessons are easy to understand. Highly recommend!
