OTA KITAJIMA

Ota-san introduced a lot of useful vocabulary and natural sentences that will help me sound more authentic in everyday Japanese. He also gave me helpful feedback on pronunciation throughout the conversation. What I really value is how he combines clear explanations with encouragement, creating a relaxed learning environment that keeps me motivated. His lessons are always well-structured yet flexible, and I leave each one feeling more confident. Another excellent session!

Ota-san explained everything clearly and patiently, giving helpful guidance while making the lesson enjoyable and easy to follow. His cheerful and supportive teaching style makes it comfortable to ask questions and try new expressions. Another fantastic lesson — I’m already looking forward to the next one!
