demi

Demi's good mood and nice manners have a great influence over me so it is fun to have lesson with her. Casual talking is the main core of our lessons and this way we can always find good topics and news to talk about as different culture can very often lead to have the same view of a certain matter

I have been taking Japanese lessons with Demi for about three months, primarily to prepare for a trip to Japan. Starting as an absolute beginner with no knowledge of hiragana or katakana, I now feel I have a solid grasp of the language’s structure to some extent. There’s still a long way to go, but it’s incredibly rewarding to understand even simple conversations while watching my favorite anime. Demi is flexible in her teaching approach and adapts the course material to suit individual goals. She also goes beyond scheduled sessions, providing valuable feedback offline. If you put in the effort, you will definitely see results. I highly recommend her to anyone looking to improve their Japanese!

Demi is an amazing teacher. I always leave class with vocabulary and phrases that I can actually put to use almost right away. It's all very practical.

Demi offers an engaging class suited to students' levels and goals. I chose her because my wife is from Dalian and wanted a teacher with a similar accent so that I could gain a greater familiarity and understanding of the differences between the Beijing and Dalian accents. We speak mostly in Mandarin, even though my level is upper beginner or lower intermediate. She skillfully engages me in conversations, sticking to known vocabulary while gradually introducing new words and grammar. The classes follow HSK 3 but focus more on spontaneous conversations and real-life phrases.

Shifting from a topic to another is always a great challenge! Demi is open to talking about many different life's characteristics meaning time flies with her! See you next time!!

Demi is a wonderful teacher—fun, insightful, and attentive to her students’ needs. She tailors each lesson to my level and makes sure what we cover is practical and useful. Instead of random textbook topics, like soccer (boring), our conversations naturally grow from daily life, and she turns those moments into personalized lessons. I always feel I’m learning exactly what I need to move forward in Chinese.
