みつお先生 is a very patient and calm person. So I don't feel pressured even when I struggle to form basic sentences or when I make very basic grammar mistakes. He teaches me naturally spoken Japanese that is used in real life which I really appreciate. Because the textbook only teaches us formal Japanese that may or may not be used in real life.

With some other tutors it has sometimes been difficult to fill the time with enough to talk about (that I can say and understand), but with Mitsuo-san the lesson time is over before I know it. Such an inspiration for sticking with this tough language!

I felt comfortable asking questions and got helpful feedback. I’d definitely recommend. Really good teacher!

I often make mistakes and get stuck. Mitsuo San has come to my rescue. His patient and friendly personality has really helped me to learn new expressions and stay relaxed. Our conversations are genuine, lively and encouraging.

Mitsuo-san is very patient and encouraging, even if your Japanese level is low, like mine. He is always attentive to the needs of the student.

Mitsuo-san is always helping me to express ideas better in Japanese. Many thanks for a great lesson today.
