Thanks to Maki-sensei, learning Japanese has become more fun!
Maki-sensei is always kind and patiently supports me when I get stuck. Her teaching method is very easy to understand and she adjusts to my pace, so I can learn without any stress.
What especially impressed me is that she always takes my interests and goals into consideration when making a lesson plan! In conversation practice with themes of traveling in Japan and Japanese culture, I can learn not only about the language but also about the culture, so I am really spending a fulfilling time.
Through lessons with Maki-sensei, I realize that my Japanese is improving little by little. And thanks to her support, my motivation to learn Japanese has increased even more!
I highly recommend Maki-sensei to anyone who wants to learn Japanese in the future. I'm sure you will have fun and grow in lessons with Maki-sensei!I highly recommend Maki as an exceptional Japanese language teacher.
