Kaori

Studying Japanese with Kaori-sensei has been a very positive experience. I feel that I am learning new material quickly, and each lesson. Because of constant practice and support, I gradually feel more confident in different aspects of Japanese, including speaking, listening, and using grammar in conversation. What I especially value is Kaori-sensei's teaching style. When I make mistakes, Kaori-sensei does not simply correct them, but calmly suggests alternative ways to express the same idea so that it sounds more natural in Japanese. At the same time, she notices correct answers and completed tasks and gives encouraging feedback. I always leave the lesson feeling supported and motivated to continue studying.

I've already done several with Kaori-san and I'm always looking forward to the next one. She adjusts the lessons to my pace really well and we always go over lots of examples. We started our lesson today with conversation too and it was really easy. Kaori-san is a really good, motivating teacher.

Kaori is a great teacher, she explains complex topics and grammar both in English and Japanese, making sure that I understand. Hour long lessons go so smoothly that I can’t notice the time flying by!

I always really enjoy my lessons with Kaori-san, thank you so much for today. We practiced speaking, reviewed grammar and I learnt a lot of new concepts. What I really like about Kaori-san's lessons is that I can practice a lot and it's an encouraging environment. We slow down when needed and find more examples or we go faster if something is easy for me. I like how Kaori-san is so good at adjusting everything and also answering my unrelated questions about novels and manga I do my best to read. Thank you so much as always, Kaori-san, and I'm look forward to learning more :)!

This was my trial lesson, and I'm excited to continue learning with Karoi-sensei!

Another awesome lesson today, we've learnt about the passive form and Kaori-san let me practice with lots of examples. She answered all of my questions about nuances of words and grammar. She also helped me review sentences from a Japanese book I'm reading and included many cultural explanations too to help me understand all the context better. She's excellent at explaining and prepares herself well for her lesson, which I am really grateful for. Also, she's very kind and gentle when she corrects mistakes. The lessons feel really relaxing and there's no stress at all.
