Hikari/ 光

Hikari is such a wonderfully amazing conversation partner and teacher! Japanese feels very intimidating sometimes as an English speaker, but Hikari makes speaking and learning Japanese feel very fun and comfortable. I would definitely recommend her!

Hikari先生 is always so encouraging and helpful in our lessons! She constantly makes sure that I am able to follow along with what we are talking about, and if I am not understanding, she helps me fill in the gaps! She is always so supportive and leads the conversation in a way that I am able to work on a lot of the speaking skills I am trying to get better at! This was our eighth lesson together and I can absolutely say that having her as a conversational partner/tutor has immensely improved my speaking skills thanks to the supportive and fun environment that she fosters in her lessons. :)

Hikari is a fantastic teacher. I had a good base from self study and was looking for a way to take the step from learning to speaking. Hikari has provided a fantastic place to allow me to just try speaking Japanese with no judgment and lots of great help. She is incredibly friendly and knowledgeable. If you are looking for a place to grow your fluency and gain confidence, this is the place. ありがとうございます!!

Hikari is very patient and willing to answer lots of questions! She allows us to direct our own learning and provides meaningful feedback. She is a joy to work with!

レッスンはいつも楽しいです！Hikari-san is great at giving practical lessons and can tailor-fit them according to your needs!

She's always interested in what you're trying to accomplish, and she's friendly and helpful. I've been studying with her regularly for three years now, and she's always a great motivator.
