I've been taking lessons with Rina-san for a while now, and I can't recommend her enough! She's incredibly kind and patient, which makes it easy to speak freely and make mistakes without feeling self-conscious. At the same time, she brings a lot of positive energy to each session, which keeps the lessons fun and engaging. Each session is a nice balance between free conversation and structured book practice. This approach keeps things both natural and goal-oriented. Rina-san is also very organized — she takes notes during the lesson and shares them afterward, including any new vocabulary, grammar points, or useful phrases that came up, which makes reviewing super easy. One of my favorite things is that our conversations often include everyday life topics, current events, and pop culture, which makes the practice feel very real and applicable to daily Japanese. If you're looking for a tutor who is both professional and personable, Rina-san is a fantastic choice! りなさん、いつもありがとうございます!

Rina-san always puts in so much effort into each class! She's thoroughly planned and ready to teach new material every day. I always love getting to know more Japanese with how fun she makes the learning process. Thank you Rina-san for your brightness and encouragement in helping me learn!

I've been taking classes with Rina-sensei for a year, and I can confidently say that she has everything it takes to make learning both effective and enjoyable. I truly admire the dedication she puts into every lesson — her classes are always engaging, informative, and fun. Book your first lesson with her — you won't be disappointed!

Rina-sensei is an incredible teacher. She’s always positive, patient, and genuinely encouraging. She quickly understood my level of Japanese and adjusts her teaching perfectly to help me improve. Her English is excellent as well, so she can clearly explain any concepts I struggle with. If you’re nervous about starting lessons or speaking practice, definitely choose Rina-san. She creates a warm, welcoming environment that makes you feel at ease while learning such a challenging language. 梨奈先生、いつもありがとうございます!これからもよろしくお願いします!

Thank you for another great lesson! Today I learnt a lot of new and useful words. We spoke about a wide range of topics and I was able to practise using new grammar and vocabulary while we talked. Rina Sensei is a very kind and patient teacher, she is very friendly and makes her students feel very comfortable. I am always surprised at how much Japanese I am able to understand and speak in our lessons. Thank you again, I look forward to the next lesson!
