I've taken over 80 lessons with Sato-sensei so far, and I wish I had discovered him earlier in my Japanese learning journey. Having studied with more than 20 different Japanese teachers/tutors across various platforms, I can confidently say that he stands out as the most exceptional. Thanks to his guidance, I was able to pass the N1 exam after beginning my Japanese studies in 2023. What sets him apart from other teachers is his ability to clearly explain and contrast similar grammatical points and highlight their nuances. Additionally, he meticulously prepares lesson materials in advance, annotates them during lessons, and provides them for review afterward, which greatly enhances the learning process.
