Shu

Shu is a very kind teacher. He meets you at whatever level of Japanese you're at and is very patient with you. If you don't understand something, he is quick to help you understand by showing examples, explaining it in more detail, or spelling it out in Kana for you. When you do get something right, he is very encouraging. He also shows in interest in your interests, and uses those in his lessons to help connect with you the language. He trained me quite well for the N5 test! He is very easy to talk to, and is also flexible with his schedule which is incredibly helpful.

ありがとうございます,しゅう先生！あなたのレッスンはとてもたのしいですね。 Shu's lessons are fantastic, and I am always learning and pushing my limits in a great way. Today we did 2 new grammars but still Shu was incredibly patient with me as we worked through them. I really enjoy these classes and will continue to come back. Thanks Shu!

Shu sensey explains everything clearly and provides examples of real life usage

I've had lessons with Shu Sensei for 1.5 years now, and have improved significantly in terms of my overall Japanese speaking, writing, and reading capabilities. Shu Sensei has always been incredibly patient, thorough in his explanations, and always knows how to make you feel comfortable with expressing yourself. Looking back at the homework I wrote at the start of my lessons to what I write now, I can really see just how much I've improved under Shu Sensei's guidance. When I travel to Japan etc. I'm also shocked by just how much better I've gotten at speaking/listening, mostly due to my lessons with Shu Sensei. I thus highly recommend him to everyone!

しゅうさん is such an amazing teacher and person! I love how the classes are structured. In every lesson you would start with a conversation, that is always so much fun. Since the talk can be about anything, you don’t just learn japanese but other topics too. if you are unsure about something, he gives very clear explanations and really makes sure that you understood. Then you would check the homework that is usually a diary and a written conversation. What I like about this kind of homework is that firstly he lets you write about topics that either interest you or regard daily life, building a vocabulary that you would actually need if you were to speak japanese. Secondly, since you write the diary and conversation on a file he gives you, everything is collected on the same page and you can look back at the previous homework and notice all the improvements that you made. The last part of the lesson is dedicated to the grammar, which he is very good at explaining. しゅうさん、ありがとうございます！

I have had classes with Shu for the last couple of months and it has been the biggest help in my language learning journey yet. He has been very understanding and able to answer any questions I have had. The classes and homework are structured great. I am definitely going to continue with my studies with Shu. I would full heartedly recommend if you want to progress with your language learning goals!
