Erina N

I've had 6 lessons with Erina so far, and they've been very enjoyable. Erina is energetic, patient, and easy to talk to. Our lessons are mainly conversation-based. When I mentioned that I wanted to further improve my Japanese speaking through themed conversations, Erina took the feedback seriously and quickly prepared a range of interesting topics. While I‘m learning Japanese, I also value lessons that feel like a genuine exchange rather than a one-sided exercise, which I have experienced elsewhere. Erina strikes a good balance: I get plenty of opportunities to speak, while also hearing her own thoughts and perspectives on the topics we discuss. I look forward to continuing lessons with her! 目前为止我已经和 Erina 上了 6 节课，整体体验非常愉快。Erina 是一个精力充沛、有耐心、很有亲和力的老师。 我们的课程以会话为主。在我提出希望通过主题式对话来进一步提升口语能力之后，Erina 很认真地对待了我的反馈，并很快准备了许多有意思的话题。 虽然我是在学习日语，但我也很重视课堂中的交流，我不希望只是我单向地练习——这一点我在其他italki老师那遇到过。Erina 维持了一个很好的平衡：我既有充分的开口机会，也能听到她对这些话题的看法。 我很期待继续和Erina上课！

I started taking Japanese lessons with Erina-sensei a few months ago. Her charm, knowledge, caring approach, and dedication made every lesson not only fun, but a valuable building block to further fluency in Japanese for me. After every lesson I felt more confident in the grammar we covered. She is a great teacher who is patient, encouraging, and meets you at your level. I cannot recommend her lessons enough.

Another great lesson! We reviewed verbs and made practice sentences building on the vocabulary I've learned. Looking forward to the next lesson!

Really fun first lesson with Erina! We got to know each other by speaking a combination of English with some Japanese vocab. As we do more lessons together, we will increase the amount of Japanese used. Erina is an encouraging teacher and interesting person. Even though I am a beginner, we talked about lots of interesting topics. The environment was casual and friendly. I am looking forward to learning more with Erina.

I always enjoy talking with you! Having a space where I feel comfortable to make mistakes has helped me a lot in improving my speaking skills. I've been able to talk to more people around me because of it too :) Thanks as always!
