Machiko

Machiko constantly offers great proofreading and creative writing sessions, explaining nuances and providing a relaxed but studious atmosphere that lets me articulate my own ideas. Thank you so much!

Machiko always gives me time to find the correct answer before correcting my mistakes. We also discuss alterations to my text together, coming up with ideas as we chat. It really makes me feel like I'm improving my writing skills. Great lesson as always.

Incredible lesson once again! Machiko先生 is a great conversationalist, great teacher and overall patient, smart and kind person. I was worried to take lessons, since while I am approaching advanced level Japanese (post N2), I still have shortcomings in a quite a few N3-N5 skills because of my learning style. However, she creates lessons perfectly fit for my skills and shortcomings, something I could never find in regular classroom-settings. Overall, she is great, I always leave our lessons happier and smarter!

This is my second time taking the class with Machiko sensei. She is very skilled in integrating grammar into daily conversational sentences. This method is effective for me. :)

As a visual artist, I always find it difficult to write statements about my work in my own language, and nearly impossible in Japanese. With Machikoさん, I feel that I found the person who "gets it" and makes the impossible possible! いつもありがとう！
