Kazumi

Today was my final lesson before my trip to Japan. かずみ先生 has done a wonderful job teaching me relevant phrases, vocabulary, and even signs that will be useful while I'm away. Very grateful to have found such a patient and encouraging teacher with a good sense of humour to boot. かずみ先生、ありがとうございます！Looking forward to our future lessons.

Today Kazumi Sensei kindly help me with lots of JLPT question types including grammar, sentence structure and listening. Practising with Kazumi Sensei makes me more confident about the test 😊 I also learned that it’s important to read and listen to the question very carefully! 😄 いつもありがとうございます！

Today I just got my JPLT N2 test result. can't believe that I passed. My level was around above N4 (completed Minna no Nihongo, the red one in language school, and the blue one myself) at the time I started to take lessons with her. After 2.5 months of studying (3times/week), I decided to take JPLT N2. And I told her that I already registered for the test level N2. I just had 2.5 months (exactly 2.5 months and 4 days) to prepare for the test. It was extremely crazy but she supported me and made me feel I could do it. She prepared N2 level questions for me. Though she can speak English, she always tries to explain in Japanese in simple ways so that I do not only understand the meaning of words but also the situation using them. Studying with her, I feel very positive and want to study more and more. Kazumi sensei, Thank you so much, without you, I cannot stand any chance to pass that test. From now, please help me more in speaking and reading. いつもお世話になっております。次のレッスンが楽しみにしています。

I always look forward to lessons with Kazumi Sensei! Today we had a big chat about Australia and Japan topics, and I talked about a tea party. I thought I had committed a “faux pas” but Kazumi Sensei assured me and I feel much better now 😆ありがとうございました！

I had a great first session where Kazumi met me at my current Japanese level. I really wanted to practice speaking and she provided a great environment for that.

I had a really good lesson with Kazumi! I’m very excited to keep learning!
