Michelle / Misako

Through my first 5 lessons, and the trial lesson, Misako sensei has been a wonderful teacher. She has been patient as I mentally work through the sentences, both interpreting the questions being asked and speaking the answers. She gives some cultural notes on how some things are in Japan. When I bring up alternatives that I've heard used for what we are going over, she has been explaining some of the differences between the options. I can hear the joy in her voice when I come up with an explanation on my own or self-correct when I catch my own error. Misako sensei has been very helpful so far in connecting the fragments of knowledge I have from my intermittent self study prior. I am looking forward to continuing my studies.

I've been working with Michelle for just over a year now and I enjoy our lessons. She is personable and provides good interaction and information about outside resources that can aid in learning.

It was so fun! It was nice to be able to learn with Misako-san, she made it easy to understand and made it interactive. I’m excited for next time!

These classes are the best moment of the week!

Learning from Misako-sensei has been the best experience! I am new to learning Japanese and her teaching style has been perfect for me. She is patient, kind and so encouraging. I chose the plan with homework to help me with my upcoming trip from the US to Japan. And with each lesson I am becoming more and more confident in speaking and understanding Nihongo. Book your lesson now! You will be so thankful you did. 😊
