Miki

Miki sensei was super nice! She spoke only in Japanese, which helped me refresh my memory. We had conversations, read some text and did a listening exercise too! For a trial lesson, I have to say that it was more fun than I expected :))

To prepare for my upcoming trip to Japan, I searched a long time on italki for Japanese tutors and ended up picking Miki Sensei and I’m so glad I did! With only limited time to prepare, I only had 14 lessons to get me ready. Miki Sensei was absolutely amazing and immediately switched up the lessons to fit my needs. We practised a lot of vocabulary, sentences, and scenarios that I would likely encounter in Japan. Whenever I had more specific questions on a topic or a grammar point, Miki Sensei explained these really well too, so that was great! I quickly spoke way more Japanese than I had expected to and gained a lot of confidence and am now looking forward to the trip, feeling ready & happy knowing that I will get more out of it than if I could only speak English. PS.If you know some Korean already, definitely pick Miki Sensei! It was so nice being able to ask questions on similarities and Miki Sensei pointed out a lot of things that helped me understand&remember things more quickly!

I had my first lesson with Miki today. Miki is really very sweet and conversation is very easy with her. Miki laughs easily and so I can see that we can have lots of good conversation in good humor. It's wonderful that she also speaks Chinese, as I do. Although I am a native English speaker, on iTalki, I always look for teachers to have two other languages in common with me, so that even if something can't be described easily in the target language, we can refer to this third language, rather than falling back on English, which can be detrimental to picking up the target language. I look forward to having many more lessons with this charming, intelligent, fun-loving Japanese native. Thanks so much, Miki san!

Miki-san is the best. We are having fun and I am learning a lot.

Miki-sensei is a delight to learn from!

Miki is so wonderful
