Aiko

You are truly the best teacher for any beginner. 🌸 Your kindness, patience, and clear explanations make Japanese feel less intimidating and much more enjoyable. Even from the very first steps, you create a safe space where learning becomes exciting instead of overwhelming. Thank you so much for guiding me with such care and encouragement. I feel lucky to have met you today as my teacher, and I believe any beginner would feel the same. 💕

I feel like today’s class was an awesome review of previous vocab and a great expansion on past knowledge. I always appreciate Aiko’s creative approach of making sure I practice not just the questions on the screen but I get a chance to practice asking and answering questions. I always feel like I’m learning more each lesson and have a great time.

We did a lot in the lesson today. Learned a lot of new vocabulary, which really is fun. Aiko is very kind to reassure me that I don’t have to have it all memorized immediately. She asks lots of questions and has us focus on small chunks of vocabulary first and that really helps get it into the brain

We are learning a lot of vocabulary and I appreciate repeating the words to help memorize them. Being able to practice the vocabulary in my day-to-day life is really helpful

Aiko is such an awesome teacher! She’s so kind, encouraging and I feel like I learn a ton during our lessons. I appreciate that we review and go through each lesson clearly

I appreciate Aiko’s patience as we start practicing new. There’s always lots of examples and I appreciate that we always go back to review
