When I started taking lessons from Azumi-sensei, I had passed the N1 three years prior and spoke Japanese regularly. My sticking point was my pitch accent and my intonation. I didn't struggle to communicate with others, but I wasn't confident in how I spoke. With Azumi-sensei, I could go back to the basics and improve my pronunciation. Although this most recent lesson was taken half a year after the previous one, I still maintained the improvements Azumi-sensei made to my pronunciation over the last year. This is because Azumi-sensei does a great job of noticing and pointing out mistakes in my speech and creates a lesson summary at the end of every lesson, which I can review at any time. Although I reached out to Azumi-sensei when I was already proficient in the language, I would confidently recommend her to students of ALL levels. She can ensure you build good pronunciation habits early on if you are a beginner, and she can fix your sticking points if you are already proficient.

I love Azumi-san!!! They are so good at picking up on the nuances of conversation & tailoring their lesson approach to their students' level of knowledge. We've been doing group lessons for about a year now and my Japanese knowledge has truly skyrocketed thanks to their guidance. I recommend them constantly!

クラスはいつも面白いし、あずみ先生はどんな質問にも答えてくれるんですから、感謝しています。

I've been taking Japanese lessons with Azumi先生 for over one year now, and she has really helped me to improve my Japanese. She carefully explains grammar in a very logical manner. I think people with good memories will learn extremely quickly with her. I just have a bad memory so I tend to forget things immediately and therefore need to have it explained continuously. :) I highly recommend Azumi先生, but it might be hard to find an available time slot, so keep checking!

あずみ先生のクラスのおかげで、初めて日本語で小説を一冊読み終えることができました！とてもうれしいです。途中で語彙や文法の説明があるのは本当に助かります。これからもあずみ先生のクラスで本を読むのが楽しみです。

Azumi's lessons are well structured and she clearly prepares the teaching materials and live documents that we review during the class. The book club lessons have been a good incentive for me to read a novel in Japanese - something I wouldn't have been motivated to do by myself. I'm really enjoying it!
