Erina N

I have been working with Erina-san for almost a year and my Japanese skills have greatly improved. I feel confident in my grammar knowledge and Erina-san helps me practice speaking and answers my questions about things I'm unfamiliar with. I look forward to continuing to learn and improve my Japanese with her!

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!

Fantastic teacher! I’ve been working with Erina-san for over 4 months now and appreciate her working with my pace and making sure every lesson really matters and absorbed 💕

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！

きょう の クラス は すごく にぎやか と たのしい でした 。ありがとう ございます！

Erina sensei has always supported and encouraged me, and I’m really grateful for that. I always think the most important thing in learning a language is having the courage to express your own thoughts. Sometimes, things you might hesitate to say in your native language can be easier to express in another language. And Erina sensei is the one who encourages you to have deeper conversations in Japanese, while patiently teaching you new words and expressions at the same time.
