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.

These classes are the best moment of the week!

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.

Very knowledgeable, very friendly and very patient. Had a great first lesson with Misako and am excited to learn more.
