みつお先生 is a very patient and calm person. So I don't feel pressured even when I struggle to form basic sentences or when I make very basic grammar mistakes. He teaches me naturally spoken Japanese that is used in real life which I really appreciate. Because the textbook only teaches us formal Japanese that may or may not be used in real life.

With some other tutors it has sometimes been difficult to fill the time with enough to talk about (that I can say and understand), but with Mitsuo-san the lesson time is over before I know it. Such an inspiration for sticking with this tough language!

I had a great time with Mitsuo, I was pretty nervous at the beginning but he made things very comfortable to be able to sit back and just talk.

I often make mistakes and get stuck. Mitsuo San has come to my rescue. His patient and friendly personality has really helped me to learn new expressions and stay relaxed. Our conversations are genuine, lively and encouraging.

Mitsuo-san is very patient listening to my Japanese speaking. He is always willing to repeat or explain what I don't understand. His questions amplify the conversation, which is one of the aspects that makes lessons with him so enjoyable and helpful.

Fantastic first session. We managed to talk about our interests which are very similar, so I will be able to learn a lot of technical and specialised words related to being a musician. I am very much looking forward to more sessions!
