Kana had been helping me learn over the past few weeks and I couldn't be more thankful to her. Her teaching style is extremely welcoming and she's very open to being asked questions if something is unclear. Overall I couldn't ask for a better teacher.
I just finished my first lesson, and I couldn't be more thankful! She was so kind, patient, and encouraging throughout the entire class. She explained everything in a way that was super easy to understand, which made learning Japanese feel a lot less intimidating. I’m really excited to continue learning with her!
