Hana

Hana sensei is a skillful and experienced teacher that loves her job and one of the coolest people I have met. Her grammar lessons helped me pass the JLPT2 ahead of my target date. How? - She picked a notebook that was perfect for me. All of its 100+ grammar points come with audio example sentences. Ideal for someone with a good ear memory and little time to study - Her presentation document follows the textbook but adds a lot of useful information: explanations on obscure points, comparisons with other expressions, precisions on usage (formal/informal, ...) and funny illustrations - For each grammar point, I had to read the example sentences out loud one by one (useful for the reading practice). I also had to invent one example sentence. When I was too lazy and came up with a beginner-level sentence, she would challenge me, gently but firmly, to do better Of course I did the homework too, but if I passed that exam, it's in no small part thanks to Hana Sensei's guidance. Merci Madame !

I have been taking lessons with Hana先生 for about 8 months now. Right from the first lesson, she was able to get me to start speaking in Japanese despite my confidence level at the time. Through Hana先生’s instruction, I believe that my Japanese speaking skills have been steadily improving. Now, even difficult to construct sentences are no longer a problem! On some lessons, Hana先生 will also share very interesting topics regarding Japanese traditions and holidays. I have enjoyed taking lessons with Hana先生 so much that our lesson times have started from 30 minutes then to 60 minutes and now to 90 minutes. With our longer lesson times, we've had the luxury to talk about recent events and typically enjoy a nice chat prior to returning to the textbook lesson topic. The free talk we have is invaluable as I'm able to express myself in Japanese and also we're able to discuss topics that I find interesting. This makes the lesson so enjoyable that time will just fly by. Thank you so much Hana先生!

I always enjoy Japanese lessons with Hana Sensei. I especially enjoy our conversations at the beginning of each lesson! Today, we reviewed vocabulary, numbers, and did a role play for purchasing products. She also taught me a mini lesson on na and i adjectives. Each lesson is packed with learning opportunities and is customized to my language needs. Hana Sensei is the best language teacher that I ever had. I am very lucky to have found her.

I really enjoy my lessons with Hana. Each session feels like a fun break in my week. With a busy work schedule and limited time for self-study outside of class, I appreciate that I can still keep up with her lessons. I can genuinely see my progress—from knowing nothing about Japanese to now being able to speak and understand it. Thank you so much, Hana!

Thank you for the fun, energetic, and upbeat lesson! I always look forward to our lessons and learn so much without realizing it. After each lesson, I always feel a great sense of accomplishment and feel invigorated to practice more Japanese! Your lessons are empowering, and I speak significantly more Japanese during our lessons than before! See you next week, Hana Sensei! Debbie
