I had a great time chatting with Umi-san about upcoming travel plans. She recommended some good spots in Tokyo and at the end of our conversation she provided in detail much appreciated feedback on my Japanese.

I just had my trial lesson with Umi, and I am absolutely thrilled! From the very first moment, she created a welcoming and supportive environment that immediately calmed my nerves. I mentioned beforehand that I was an absolute beginner, but Umi was so encouraging. She started with the basics but in a way that was engaging and practical. Her teaching style is adaptive, fun, and very effective. I left the lesson feeling extremely motivated and actually believing that I can learn Japanese.
