Shu

Shu is a very kind teacher. He meets you at whatever level of Japanese you're at and is very patient with you. If you don't understand something, he is quick to help you understand by showing examples, explaining it in more detail, or spelling it out in Kana for you. When you do get something right, he is very encouraging. He also shows in interest in your interests, and uses those in his lessons to help connect with you the language. He trained me quite well for the N5 test! He is very easy to talk to, and is also flexible with his schedule which is incredibly helpful.

I've had lessons with Shu Sensei for 1.5 years now, and have improved significantly in terms of my overall Japanese speaking, writing, and reading capabilities. Shu Sensei has always been incredibly patient, thorough in his explanations, and always knows how to make you feel comfortable with expressing yourself. Looking back at the homework I wrote at the start of my lessons to what I write now, I can really see just how much I've improved under Shu Sensei's guidance. When I travel to Japan etc. I'm also shocked by just how much better I've gotten at speaking/listening, mostly due to my lessons with Shu Sensei. I thus highly recommend him to everyone!

ありがとうございます,しゅう先生！あなたのレッスンはとてもたのしいですね。 Shu's lessons are fantastic, and I am always learning and pushing my limits in a great way. Today we did 2 new grammars but still Shu was incredibly patient with me as we worked through them. I really enjoy these classes and will continue to come back. Thanks Shu!

先生は非常に滑舌が良く、明確に話してくださったので、初めての日本人との会話でもとてもリラックスして楽しく受けることができました。説明も親切で、わかりやすかったです。日本語の会話に自信がない私にとって、とても良い体験となりました。

Studying Japanese with Shu has been fantastic! His patience and encouragement make learning enjoyable and effective. He creates a safe and supportive environment where I feel comfortable making mistakes and learning from them. This positive approach has made me much more confident and open to trying new things with the language. Highly recommended!

いつも通りにとても楽しかったです。いつもありがとうございます！
