Maki

I’ve been taking lessons with Maki for a while now and she’s been absolutely lovely and extremely patient. I feel like I have improved in my speaking ability quite a bit since I started taking lessons with Maki. I feel more confident to actually try even if I make many mistakes trying. Maki is highly patient even when I stutter or take a while to make the sentence. She’s also very encouraging and it makes me want to continue to try harder and improve more. At times I have days where I struggle to speak more than others for some reason but Maki simply encourages and is really patient with me. I’ve also learnt a lot with her grammar wise. She explains the grammar points in a way that is easy to understand. Some grammar structures that I used to struggle with have been made so much clearer by Maki’s explanations as well a the speaking practices. I’m very grateful to have found such a lovely tutor and well worth the money :)))

I really enjoy Maki's lessons. I learn a lot, and the relaxed atmosphere makes me feel more confident to speak even if I make mistakes. Maki is a patient and flexible teacher who matches the lesson content to your learning and interests. I am very much looking forward to my next lesson!

Maki uses the perfect ratio of repetition in our conversations while allowing for the topics to flow in whatever natural direction it goes. She praises what is said well and offers better more natural options for what needs improvement. I always feel encouraged and have seen an improvement in my reading, writing and spoke. Language. I LOVE my time learning from Maki!

I highly recommend Maki as a teacher. Maki's kindness and patience make every lesson enjoyable and comfortable. Her preparedness and excellent teaching materials ensure that each session is productive and engaging. Maki strikes the perfect balance between practical conversation and grammar, making learning enjoyable and effective. With her guidance, I feel that I will be confident and well-prepared for the JLPT N4 exam. Maki's dedication to covering all exam materials has been invaluable, and I consider myself fortunate to have her as my teacher.

I always enjoy my lessons with Maki-san, and she offers different types of things we can practice. For example I might spend one lesson focused on talking practice, and another focused on grammar, allowing me to practice different skills.

Maki-san is always kind and patient, and makes lessons very enjoyable. I get to learn and practice a lot, while feeling like I'm having a comfortable conversation with a friend. I enjoy the different homework assignments I get too.
