Just finished another lesson with Jackie-san. I can't recommend her enough. Everyone reading this is learning Japanese outside of iTalki and that's where Jackie-san excels. Whenever I come across a new concept, I message her before a lesson and request to study it and she's never said "that's too difficult" she prepares whatever I've asked for. I feel like her classes are the equivalent of a college level course due to the entirety of material I get...and I message her a few hours before the lesson. :-) Whatever the outside material you're using is, if you have questions, want examples, something you don't understand, etc, she will help you. She's easy to speak with too and whenever needed, her corrections often include a quick tutorial if grammar is incorrect so I can write it down, too. She's like having a human cheat sheet that has all the Japanese answers. Take her trial if you haven't. You won't regret anything except not having done it sooner.

Just had my 10th lesson with Jackie-sensei! Feel a lot more comfortable reading and using context to help me understand meanings. As always, Jackie adapts our lessons to fit my needs - recently we have been doing a mix of learning grammar and speaking practice in our lessons.

Jackie Sensei is very supportive and is open to whatever the student wants to learn! Very lucky to have her!

Just had my fifth lesson with Jackie-sensei. She is always very encouraging, professional and always in good spirits. Our sessions are really productive - we get a lot done and I feel like I learn faster than I expect. She always provides lots of examples and encourages me to ask lots of questions, even if it means interrupting her. She's also super comfortable with English which helps a lot when she's explaining things to me. Happy to have found a teacher like Jackie :)

Thank you for another fun & interesting lesson! 今日もたくさん勉強になった。難しいことでも、いつもとても分かりやすく説明してくれます。Lucky & happy to be your student! 😇

I’ve really enjoyed working with Jackie. She’s incredibly patient, easy to talk to, and has a great way of making the lessons feel relaxed while still keeping them productive. I always look forward to our sessions and leave feeling like I’ve learned something and made progress. She’s been a fantastic teacher, and I’d recommend her without hesitation.
