Isla

Best Japanese teacher! She’s patient, flexible, friendly, and great at coming up with topics to discuss that are appropriate for your level. I always improve! Thanks Isla Sensei, see you in class.

Isla is taking the time to help me re-learn a lot of Japanese fundamentals from the beginning. She is able to adjust the pace to my existing understanding and knowledge and I have confidence that I'll quickly be able to reach the level that I should be at. She is very kind which puts my anxiety at ease, and good at explaining in both Japanese and English (when required). We have conversations like I would with a friend. This motivates me to try harder every day to do better in the next lesson.

I like the fact that Isla sensei explains the grammar and clarifies difficult points using easy Japanese and only if you really don't get it she switches briefly to English :)

Isla san is an amazing teacher and she is really helping me out a lot. She is very patient and very helpful with my progress.

Isla sensei is awesome! She's very bright, friendly, and puts in a lot of effort to help her students!

I always enjoy my lessons with Isla because she makes me feel so at ease speaking in Japanese - I'm not afraid of making mistakes! She is also great at allowing the conversations and lessons to be guided where I would like to take them and is always open to what I suggest, whether that be reviewing a piece of writing I've done, answering my grammar questions or learning important phrases for travel. I look forward to many more lessons with Isla! :)
