kaori ito

I’ve been taking Japanese lessons with Kaori-san for a few months now, and she is a great teacher! Kind, helpful, patient, humorous, and just a sweet person all around. Her lessons can be as structured or as informal as you like, but she always makes sure you get lots of opportunity to practice by speaking. She’s happy to take as much time as you need to answer questions or review things until you’re comfortable, and is very generous with her time outside of class if you have even more questions, which i often do! I look forward to every lesson! かおりさん、ありがとうございます！

Had an amazing lesson with Kaori today. She really makes the lessons enjoyable as we reviewed and reinforced material from previous lessons. She took extra effort to ensure I understood everything before moving on. The role playing was an invaluable exercise allowing me strengthen my Japanese comprehension. She was super patient encouraging me to self correct my errors AND time to process the learning. The best parts of the lesson were when she said "すごい” to some of my Japanese responses. At the conclusion of our lesson, although still very much a beginner, I left feeling confident, motivated, and looking forward to our next lesson.

Kaori-san always has interactive classes from which you learn a lot of really useful vocabulary and grammar. She is super patient and makes sure you understand everything.

I've been taking lessons with Kaori-san for many months now and she is always so patient and helpful. I never feel nervous talking to her. Our lessons are always a lot of fun and I'm improving with her help.

Love her and look forward to the class each week!

I look forward to my lesson with Kaori Sensei every time. Our conversations are fun, she’s relaxed and easy to talk to, and she’s very good at deconstructing difficult grammar points when I need some help getting my thoughts out in Japanese. いつもありがとう！ 🍻
