Erika is an amazing teacher! She’s kind, patient, and always makes me feel comfortable during lessons. Whenever I struggle to find the right words, she waits and encourages me to finish my sentence without rushing. If I make a mistake, she gently corrects me in a way that helps me learn without feeling discouraged. I’ve never met a teacher as wonderful as her, and I truly hope to continue learning from her for as long as possible!

I'm so excited about our pronunciation table which has a lot of confusing pairs! Other students who want to improve his/her pronunciation should try it, like me! Thank you for always editing our materials, Erika-sensei!

Erika always teaches with a calm and steady attitude, which allows me to relax during the lesson and focus on expressing what I truly want to say. She is a wonderful teacher. Today, we studied the meanings behind the lyrics of English songs. As AI continues to develop rapidly, I believe one of the important reasons to learn languages from a human teacher is that they can teach subtle and delicate nuances—things that may seem small, but actually carry deep meaning—through real human intuition and experience. We are not living in order to talk only with AI. We are living in order to talk with other human beings. Erika’s lessons help me rediscover that natural and important feeling. Thank you very much.

Miss Erika is my superwoman. 💗In each class, we talk a lot about certain topics. She is very patient. She helps to expand my vocabulary, corrects my grammar mistakes, and always smiles to encourage me to speak Japanese. I feel much more confident speaking Japanese now than when I first started practicing speaking Japanese. I look forward to my next Japanese lesson every week! If you want to learn Japanese, speaking practice with Teacher Erika is the best choice! 👍 エリカ先生は私のスーパーウーマンです💗。各クラスでは、特定のトピックについて多くのことを話します。彼女はとても辛抱強く、私の語彙を増やし、文法の間違いを訂正し、いつも笑顔で日本語を話せるようにしています。私が最初に日本語を話す練習を始めたときよりも、今では日本語を話すことに自信があります。毎週次の日本語レッスンを楽しみにしています！日本語を学びたいなら、エリカ先生と話す練習がいいですね！👍

Fabulous as usual 🌸

Erika先生は、italki随一の日本語力＆英語力を兼ね備えた先生です。私は、つい日本語が母国語の先生に甘えて、日本語で質問をしてしまいます。それも、”日本語らしい日本語”についてです。 でも、Erika先生に掛かれば、最適の英語に翻訳してくださいます。 AIが発達しようとも、彼女のような血の通った語学の先生は無敵です。日本語を勉強している方、英語を勉強している方、両方勉強している方？笑　先生をお勧めします。 Erika is a teacher who has exceptional proficiency in both Japanese and English—truly one of the best on italki. I sometimes find myself relying on her and asking questions in Japanese, especially about what sounds “natural” in Japanese. But no matter the question, she always provides the most appropriate and precise English translation. No matter how advanced AI becomes, a teacher like her—someone with real, human understanding of language—is truly unbeatable. Whether you are studying Japanese, English, or both, I highly recommend her as a teacher.
