Makiko

Makiko-sensei's lessons are always fun and my Japanese has already improved so much since I started learning with her. She is kind and patient, and provides feedback and corrections without it being overwhelming. Thanks to that I've become a lot more comfortable speaking Japanese. I look forward to improving further with her guidance.

For anyone interested in learning Japanese I highly recommend Makiko-sensei. I had been studying the Genki 1 book on my own for several months but wasn't really sure what kind of progress I was making. I scheduled a trial lesson with Makiko-sensei and feel so lucky and fortunate to have found her as my teacher. Ever since the trial lesson I've been taking classes once a week for a few months now and the hour session is always a highlight of my week that I look forward to. Makiko-sensei is a compassionate and patient teacher that makes learning enjoyable while always ensuring you actually learn the material. I constantly have questions and stumble over previously taught subjects but she always takes the time to review with me with a smile on her face. I'll soon be upping to 2-3 times a week because I enjoy learning from Makiko-sensei so much. I've always had a dream of learning the Japanese language and with the guidance of Makiko-sensei I believe I can make that dream a reality.

Makiko先生 is an amazing instructor! I have had over 100 lessons with her and our class time is the highlight of my week. I would recommend anyone interested in learning Japanese to book a lesson with her!

My sister and I were very lucky to find Makiko sensei on our first try. Sensei makes learning Japanese fun and interesting despite her students being working adults already. Makiko sensei helped us to transform from beginners in Japanese to barely elementary school level, the progress we have made it really amazing. We also asked Makiko sensei to help us prepare to take the JLPT N5 exam, through her careful teaching and guidance we were luckily able to pass and we hope to take the next level soon! Senseis lesson is something I look forward to every week, I would highly highly recommend Makiko sensei to anyone looking to learn Japanese or take their current study to the next level!

Makiko sensei is a wonderful teacher, and very understanding when there’s confusion about homework.

We're nearing the JLPT exam in about a month and we're doing practice tests. Thank you Makiko Sensei!
