I like how Karensan is flexible and willing to step outside the textbook lesson, even in the middle of the lesson, to address my questions, to address some of my specific needs, or to practice the kinds of sentence constructions specific to my daily Japanese usage.

This teacher really helps you with your speaking and listening skills. Each lessons she asks what I did that week and follow up questions. This really helps with a better understanding of my Japanese and I feel that I improve each time she asks me questions!!

Karen is a very patient and kind teacher. The lessons are both insightful and fun. Highly recommend!

I have been taking lessons from Karen for a couple of months now and I have felt my ability to speak in Japanese skyrocket. Having a regular way to practice what I learn from offline sources has been really nice.

Otani Sensei is a great teacher. She is kind and gives clear feedback and instruction. In my classes with her, she balances speaking practices and understanding well when choosing to speak either Japanese or English.

Karen-san has been a wonderful teacher for several months now. We work from the textbook to reinforce after spending about half the class either reviewing self-study writing exercises or practicing conversation. She has been very flexible, patient, and supportive and a real joy to study with! I feel I have progressed significantly under her care and truly enjoyed the process.
