Keiko

I’ve really enjoyed learning with Keikoさん. She is very patient and supportive, and always takes the time to understand my goals for learning Japanese. She customises the lessons to match my situation, often using examples based on my real-life needs, which makes learning practical and motivating. She also gives me homework when I request it, helping me to stay consistent. I really appreciate her dedication and flexibility in teaching. I highly recommend her to anyone new to italki or to anyone looking to learn Japanese. She will help you build confidence and tailor lessons to your needs.

I enjoyed my lesson with Keikoさん very much. She is kind, patient, and uses different teaching strategies to make the lesson interesting and put what I learnt into practice. I wasn't feeling confident but even when I made mistakes, she was encouraging and helped me understand. I highly recommend Keikoさん and I look forward to my next lesson :)

Keiko-san explains difficult nuances of the Japanese language in a manner that a beginner adult learner can readily understand. This clearly shows her experience as a teacher. She keeps track of my progress and always comes prepared to address areas where I need improvement.

I had another wonderful lesson with Keiko-san today. I really appreciate the variety of activities we did and she clearly puts a lot of time and effort into personalising the lessons. I struggle to remember numbers (in Japanese and English haha) but Keiko-san is really patient and encouraging, and reviews past mistakes so I remember for next time. I get to learn a lot about Japanese culture too, and Keiko-san asks me questions about my daily life so it is a cultural exchange (and I am doing my best to communicate it in Japanese, but if I have to use English, that doesn't bother Keiko-san and she teaches me how to say it in Japanese). I am excited for my next lesson with Keiko-san and look forward to what I will learn next. Thank you for creating such fun lessons and being a joy to learn from! おつかれさまでした :)

Keiko-san is very patient and creates a comfortable learning environment. As a result, I feel much less anxious speaking Nihongo with her and am not afraid to try more complex grammar patterns during our lessons.

I needed to take a long break from studying Japanese due to personal reasons, but Keikoさん was very understanding and supportive. She helped me review all the content we studied together starting from Lesson 1 and I am feeling more confident to resume my studies now. I’m looking forward to studying with Keikoさん again! Our lessons are always fun and even when I make the same mistakes again and again, she is patient and encouraging. ありがとうございます♪
