A great Saturday morning lesson. Lessons are always interactive and can be applied to real-life situations. A good reminder to consider the best kind of drink to have with curry rice!!

Ayako-san is a great teacher! I had so much fun while learning. Ayako-san reminded me that it's okay to make mistakes and was patient and encouraging. Ayako-san also helped me learn more about Japanese culture. I learned so much in a very short time! ありがとうございます！:)

Ayako-san always brings great materials to help me practice. Practicing with Ayako-san is very effective because Ayako-san takes the time to make sure I understand everything before moving on. Ayako-san is very skilled at explaining something I don't understand in another way if I get stuck.
