Mel✨

My friend Danny and I have been taking lessons with Mel-san for a over year now. She is an amazing teacher!!!!! She is always incredibly patient and kind no matter how many mistakes we make. Whenever our studies falter when life gets busy, she is always so understanding and willing to work at any pace. Mel-san will also teach native Japanese grammar or phrases that the textbooks can be outdated on. She is good at creating a fun, but productive environment for learning. We've loved classes with Mel-san!!!!

Mel 先生 is a really patient and wonderful teacher. Her emphasis on conversational skills has been tremendously helpful in training my brain to become more comfortable and better at using what I’ve learned. Her pacing is also great; I never feel rushed to move past points that I haven’t quite grasped yet. Thank you for another great lesson!

We talked about old times from our previous lessons and where we want to go next for future lessons, she encouraged me to speak more

I have been taking Japanese lessons with Mel-sensei for about a year and a half, and I would never have made the progress I have without her patient and kind help. She's a wonderful teacher and a kind and patient person, and I recommend her highly!

Mel-san is the best! Truly a kind person. She has made the daunting task of learning a new language super easy, stress free, and more of a collaborative experience. She is extremely flexible when it comes to your learning style, and she periodically asks if there is anything I want to change or need from the lessons. She creates an environment with no judgement and makes class a safe place to make mistakes. She has a deep understanding of both English and Japanese, so she can explain cultural differences in both languages. Best of all, she doesn't just teach textbook Japanese, but she makes sure you can have a natural conversation. Honestly, Mel-san should be your next teacher.

Mel-san is awesome! She is very patient and never makes me feel rushed. As a total beginner she makes me feel comfortable and capable of learning.
