Kaoru

Kaoru-san is an excellent teacher who is fun, out-going, kind and patient. Even when I make mistakes she isn't someone who will laugh but encourages me to keep going. I feel very comfortable speaking in Japanese and most importantly making mistakes in Japanese with her. She has many fun and interesting interests and hobbies so it's easy for speak about literally everything. She makes learning Japanese really fun and I look forward to my lessons weekly. I do feel like I am improving so much, since I have started learning from her and I am so grateful for that as I have wasted years not progressing in Japanese.

Kaoru is a great teacher! I really value teachers like her. As a polyglot and language enthusiast, I consider myself to have relative high standards and expectations for teachers and tutors. Kaoru sensei meets all my expectations and sometimes goes beyond it. Also, she is always positive and full of energy, making taking classes at 6am way easier to me hahah かおる先生、ありがとうございます‼

Kaoru先生との会話の練習はいつも大好き！必ずちょう楽しくいろんなテーマについて話せます。深い話も、おもろい話もしがら、より自然な日本語になるように、ばっちりの指摘してくれますし、毎回Classが終わったら以前より一段と日本語上手くなっているような気がします。しかも、かおる先生はかなり世界中を冒険をされてきているので、いろんな相談ができるだろうと勝手に想像しますね。また今度、ぜひ世界旅の話を聞きたいです！次回も大変楽しみにしております！

What l like the most while having lessons with Kaoru Sensei is that l feel relaxed and comfortable speaking even with my very limited abilities (around N5). She really does a great job at matching the level of the conversation to what l can do with such a limited vocabulary and grammar and supports my clumsy efforts. This is exactly what l need, just practicing what l was learning so far without feeling too challenged. Until now l always felt somewhat stressed with other teachers l tried out. Now l am hopeful l can keep doing it regularly without feeling apprehensive about booking the next lesson:)

Kaoru-sensei is cool! Looking forward to the next lesson!

I had my first actual lesson with Kaoru-san which was at a appropriate pace for me. With Kaoru-san's assistance, I was able to practice the grammar that I used to struggle with. She made sure I had ample time to practice and corrected me when it was necessary. I am glad I am able to take her lessons and looking forward to more of them in the future with her!
