Great trial lesson! The time flew by. I am looking forward to continuing and practicing conversation.

Koji さん is fun to talk to, and the gentle and kind way he helps correct my mistakes allows me to relax. Even though I am old enough to be his father, we have similar life experiences and interests, so talking with him is very enjoyable. Plus, since I live in Tennessee and he lives in Arizona, scheduling time for lessons is more convenient for both of us.

First lesson was GREAT! I already feel like I learned more than in 6 months on duolingo. I felt super comfortable asking questions and already can't wait for more lessons!

I was amazed. Please book with Koji. I only took a trial lesson, and I got more than double my money’s worth, because he’s a encouraging, patient, and really understanding teacher. I plan to book more and more sessions in the future.

Shared a google doc with some questions and materials to help me prepare for the tutoring session. I learned a lot just from reading the materials, learning the kanji. In that way, i'm able to practice reading and writing outside of the lesson, and then practice conversation during the lesson. I'm still shaky and uncomfortable with conversation, but this is excellent practice!

I highly recommend Koji-sensei! I've had three lessons with him so far. He's very easy to talk to and is great at preparing interesting topics and adapting to the student's level. We generally start with 15 minutes or so of free talk and then move into a more structured conversation. We've discussed a variety of fun topics including basketball and differences between Japanese and American etiquette. He is supportive and encourages you to talk through mistakes. Koji先生、ありがとうございます！
