Hikari/ 光

I have been taking lessons with Hikari for a couple months now, and she is incredible. She is very fun to talk to and knowledgeable. She has made learning japanese much less scary. She is very kind and happy to help in every way possible. Often it feels more like I am talking to a friend than a teacher. My japanese has increased greatly, I look forward to my lessons every week. ありがとうございます

Hikari先生 is always so encouraging and helpful in our lessons! She constantly makes sure that I am able to follow along with what we are talking about, and if I am not understanding, she helps me fill in the gaps! She is always so supportive and leads the conversation in a way that I am able to work on a lot of the speaking skills I am trying to get better at! This was our eighth lesson together and I can absolutely say that having her as a conversational partner/tutor has immensely improved my speaking skills thanks to the supportive and fun environment that she fosters in her lessons. :)

Very fun and helpful lesson! I really appreciate that she let me pause and reflect on specific sentence structures. Highly recommended!!

Hikari is such a wonderfully amazing conversation partner and teacher! Japanese feels very intimidating sometimes as an English speaker, but Hikari makes speaking and learning Japanese feel very fun and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her!

My first lesson with Hikari was so enjoyable! I had little speaking practice going into our first lesson, but she was very patient with me and gave really helpful corrections. ありがとうございます！！！

Learning Japanese with Hikari-sensei over the last year has been an absolute joy! She is very thoughtful and really takes the time to make sure that you understand the material. She is able to relate the lessons to topics in your own life which really helps hammer down comprehension of the material. There is absolutely no judgement on her part (believe me, I've asked her to repeat things a million times!), and she always finds ways to inject humor into the lessons, making them that much more fun! I always feel a bit more confident in my listening/speaking ability after each lesson. I highly recommend taking a lesson with her!
