After an extended break away from iTalki, I discussed my learning goals with Hiro sensei and then we reviewed some material in the Genki textbook. He was very patient and provided correction when needed, which I appreciated. ありがとうございました, Hiro sensei!

Sensei is a fantastic and very skilled teacher. He is strict about pronunciation and stress on the words, because both significantly affect understanding in Japanese. He is empathetic about my current situation, (recently laid off from primary job), and really cares about me as a student and person. He is patient with me in my linguistic infancy in Japanese. I’d be lost without him!

Sensei is the best teacher on this platform. He has a gift for explaining his beautiful language in a way that can be understood by Non-Japanese speakers. He will push you hard only because he believes in his students’ full potential. He is also compassionate and empathetic to a student’s personal situation. He should be commended. I highly respect him and am indebted to him for his loyalty in teaching me…

Sensei is the best Japanese teacher on this platform. He is strict and has high standards for his students. But this is what makes him such an effective teacher. One day I hope to make Sensei proud of my learning his beautiful language well. He is really a kind, hard-working man who genuinely cares about all of his students’ progress. I wish I could afford to meet with him daily, as I’m sure I would progress in fluency in leaps and bounds.

今日もありがとう！先生のおかげで、悪い話し方の癖を直し、難しい文法にも早く慣れています!
