My two lessons with Ayako sensei have been incredible! I've learned so much and am able to get a lot of practice speaking. She spoke in Japanese for almost the whole lesson and that helped me a lot because I am a beginner and wanting to immerse myself as much as possible. Ayako sensei is incredibly patient and though she spoke Japanese most of the time, I was able to ask questions in English and have her respond in simple enough Japanese for me to understand. I had a lot of fun in our lessons and I look forward to having more!

Ayako-san was very fun and professional. I had a great time working through some textbook examples during the lesson. Ayako-san's lesson was very challenging and informative, and I will definitely book again in the future.
