Maki

I’ve been taking lessons with Maki for a while now and she’s been absolutely lovely and extremely patient. I feel like I have improved in my speaking ability quite a bit since I started taking lessons with Maki. I feel more confident to actually try even if I make many mistakes trying. Maki is highly patient even when I stutter or take a while to make the sentence. She’s also very encouraging and it makes me want to continue to try harder and improve more. At times I have days where I struggle to speak more than others for some reason but Maki simply encourages and is really patient with me. I’ve also learnt a lot with her grammar wise. She explains the grammar points in a way that is easy to understand. Some grammar structures that I used to struggle with have been made so much clearer by Maki’s explanations as well a the speaking practices. I’m very grateful to have found such a lovely tutor and well worth the money :)))

I really enjoy Maki's lessons. I learn a lot, and the relaxed atmosphere makes me feel more confident to speak even if I make mistakes. Maki is a patient and flexible teacher who matches the lesson content to your learning and interests. I am very much looking forward to my next lesson!

She's the best!

I highly recommend Maki as a teacher. Maki's kindness and patience make every lesson enjoyable and comfortable. Her preparedness and excellent teaching materials ensure that each session is productive and engaging. Maki strikes the perfect balance between practical conversation and grammar, making learning enjoyable and effective. With her guidance, I feel that I will be confident and well-prepared for the JLPT N4 exam. Maki's dedication to covering all exam materials has been invaluable, and I consider myself fortunate to have her as my teacher.

マキさんは一番日本語の先生と思います。たとえば、１１月から今日まで一緒にれんしゅをしました。前しゅかん二回に会いますからたくさん日本語が上手になりて思いました。楽ししやさしいしいい先生ですよ。先生と話したら、笑わします。私は先生と話しているの時しっんぱしなかったです。日本語で 妻の家族と少し話せます。先生に会ってよかったですありがとうございました。マキさんはおすすめです。

I have completed over 70 lessons with Maki-san and can confidently say I wouldn't choose another teacher. Every lesson is thoughtfully planned, tailored to my individual learning needs, and aligned with my pace of progress. Maki-san is incredibly patient and encouraging, whether you’re a new learner or more experienced. She always comes prepared with engaging materials and creative ideas that make learning new vocabulary and grammar enjoyable. The lessons are not only highly educational but also genuinely fun and interactive. I’m excited to continue my Japanese learning journey with Maki-san!
