Even though this was my first lesson, I believe Max is an affable and skilled sensei who can really help me with my Japanese.

Max was fantastic! He was my first trial lesson for Japanese conversation and I was very impressed. He confirmed that I am an intermediate learner and provided steady feedback and provided the right words when I couldn’t think of them. He was very kind and encouraging. I highly recommend Max!

Another great lesson with Max. While many tutors will help by correcting your Japanese as you speak, Max actively pushes your it further by explaining clearly, and inciting you to use new grammar and vocabulary.

Great lesson again with Max, who helps me prepare for JLPT with adequate resources. His level of English is also very useful to provide clear explanations.

I've written a review before but it was some years ago, so I'll update. Max-sensei is an extraordinary teacher: a charismatic who uses his lively personality to get you talking, and knows how to correct you without inhibiting you. He carries my highest recommendation.

Once again, great lesson with Max. May you wish to practice your conversation freely, your reading, or prepare for JLPT, Max will be resourceful. He also speaks English fluently, which makes his explanations flawless.
