One thing I love about Mari sensei is that she really cares about her student's learning. We discussed at length today my current goals and preferred learning approach. She also provided her own suggestions to make the weekly sessions as productive as possible. She is always willing to be flexible to meet the student's needs and preferences. We came up with a solid plan for future lessons.

初回と思えないぐらい、いろんな話ができました。 先生は日本語教えるのもちろん、会話力がとにかく高い 語学だけじゃなく先生の考え方や人柄が感じられて、すごく有意義な時間でした。 ありがとうございました。

Had a great lesson with Mari Sensei today. We covered a lot of topics and learned quite a few new words. I really appreciate her friendliness and dedication to teaching. She has made a big difference in my Japanese language journey.

I was really tired today / this morning, but Mari-san is always very patient with me, and I feel like whatever energy level I am at, I can always enjoy our lesson and take away some improvements in my Japanese, and most importantly a good laugh. :)

今日のレッスンはとても楽しかったです！ありがとうございました！

Another great lesson with Mari-sensei. I always feel like we cover a lot in one hour and I get a lot of speaking practice in. She makes it really interesting too.
