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!

今日は仕事が忙しくて準備ができなかったので、次回のレッスンで改めて頑張ります。

今日の映画の話しとても面白かったです。ありがとうございます！

I've been attending Shu-sensei's lessons for some time and it's always a pleasure to collaborate with him. He's very easy to talk to and will work with you in Japanese to form your thoughts. If I were to give any recommendations on a language instructor to work with, I would not hesitate to recommend Shu-sensei's classes. Every class is consistent, and overtiime, he gives confidence in your Japanese speaking.
