Super fun and casual. As an older language learner(52), it's hard to commit to a strict study plan. I was very lucky to have Hagi Sensei willing to engage in casual conversation about anything. As we talk, he is simultaneously transcribing our conversation for me to review later. Whenever I say something wrong, or when I am at a lost for word, he would provide hints and input, be it in typed form or verbal form, It's very fulfilling to engage in.

I really enjoyed today's session with Hagi Sensei. We talked about a plane crash and the car industry. It was mostly free talk, which is fine, but what really sets Hagi Sensei apart from other teachers is the fact that he writes down everything we talk about. After the lesson, I can go back and study the sentences and words I didn't fully understand. This is tremendously useful. In addition, Hagi Sensei is extremely patient and doesn't seem to mind when I say (over and over again) "can you please say that again?".

Awesome !

I always felt satisfied when I finished the lesson with Hagi Sensei because I always feel comfortable and pleased after the lesson. It's because I know that I will learn a lot from Hagi Sensei every time. It's always productive having lesson with Hagi Sensei. I will read again and again the notes that Hagi Sensei diligently recorded and corrected for me. It's really helpful to know what have I said in the lesson and how to properly express them. I will try to simulate again the whole conversation again and try to find out the best expression. Through this proccess, I will find another learning direction. It's why I like to have lessons with Hagi Sensei, you don't only passively learned words from Hagi Sensei, but you know which part you should improve more, and you will be happy to find out your weakness when you speaking and learning Japnese. Thank you Hagi Sensei.

2nd lesson with Hagi. I've worked with the transcript from last week to prepare and it proved to be an invaluable tool. It doubles as a reference of words i want to learn for next time and, as reference in how to ask and respond to questions. I'm coming it with a very low Japanese level, but Hagi is really great in making me at ease. I very strongly recommend him.

For the first 30mins trial with Hagi-san was great! It’s suitable for the person who want to practice in speaking skill.
