I can't begin to Taki’s first lesson was exceptional. He was personable, kind, patient, and genuinely interested in understanding me as a student, my goals, and the reasons I want to learn Japanese. What stood out most was his willingness to meet me where I currently am in my learning journey rather than forcing a rigid teaching style. The lesson felt natural, encouraging, and thoughtfully adapted to my pace and interests. I left feeling motivated, comfortable, and excited to continue learning with him. I highly recommend Taki to anyone looking for a teacher who combines professionalism with warmth and genuine care for his students.
