FUSAKO KOIZUMI

Thanks to Koizumi sensei, I passed the JLPT N3 on my first try - with a full score on the reading section! When I first started taking lessons, I was planning to take N4. But after my first lesson, Koizumi sensei encouraged me to aim for N3. First, she helped me work through the entire 中級を学ぼう textbook, with lots of attention paid to understanding the reading passages and grammar points. She also recommended short writing exercises and provided valuable verbal and written feedback on my work, which greatly helped me improve my writing ability and grammar understanding. After finishing the textbook, we practiced many N3 questions together, with a focus on sections I was not confident in. We would consistently review questions I had missed previously to ensure I had understood my mistakes. Because of Koizumi sensei's teaching and encouragement, I felt confident taking the N3, and I was able to pass by a wide margin. I am very grateful for her instruction!

Had my first lesson with Koizumi sensei to help me prepare for JLPT N4. it was a great lesson - we did some review and she explained things I didn't understand. The pacing was excellent and I never felt she went too fast. She gave me time to think and I never felt pressured to do something fast. Thank you sensei and I look forward to more classes with you!

Thank you for another great lesson!

すごく楽しかったです！

Thanks for a great lesson! I finished book one of minna no nihongo with Sensei and learned a lot. I will come back to the second book soon with her! Thanks again!

Today we reviewed chapter 20 and started lesson 21 of Minna no Nihongo. I appreciate sensei for reviewing and correcting my mistakes and encouraging me to speak!
