I just had a trial lesson with Yun, and it was awesome! Before the lesson, Yun checked in to see where I was with my Japanese learning and what materials I was using. She even opened up some timeslots to fit my goals and schedule.
I wanted a non-native speaker because they usually teach more methodically. Most people are aiming to pass the JLPT or planning to study in Japan, but I just wanted to focus on conversational skills since I'm going there for a working holiday. Yun totally got that and quickly switched to work-related stuff.
In the lesson, she explained polite speech and grammar in a simple way. Instead of reading through the materials and having me repeat after her, she added useful notes and sent them to me after the lesson. Her accent was pretty neutral, and with her solid understanding of Japanese, it has made my learning much more efficient.
Overall, Yun's approach was personalized and effective. I enjoyed the lesson and felt it was productive. Highly recommend :) !
