I've taken quite a few lessons with Maki-sensei, and the things that I like the most about her style are that she's patient and gives actionable advice. Incredibly helpful and also just really fun to talk to. I'll be back for more!

I like our proofreading sessions, as I feel I'm learning about the natural tempo of texts written in Japanese and new useful words and expressions along with correcting my writing.
