Mizuka

I’ve been taking lessons from Mizuka Sensei for a while and I’ve come to the conclusion her superpower is consistent inspiration. At least for me, learning language has had several peaks and valleys. I hit the frustration wall often - yet Mizuka sensei always finds a way to encourage you to continue or find a breakthrough point - even a small one. That’s the real secret, to have a teacher who encourages you through the plateaus. She’s really committed to your success as a student.

瑞香先生👩🏻‍🏫のお陰で私の日本語は短時間に得意になりました。Thanks to Mizuka as a teacher👩🏻‍🏫, my Japanese in a short time got pretty good. 今日、文通する相手は私の手紙の上手の日本語で驚きました。Today, a partner of correspondence was surprised of the level of Japanese proficiency of my letter. 全ては瑞香先生のお陰で、私は瑞香先生を誉めきれないです。🌸All thanks to Mizuka Sensei, I can't praise her enough.🌸

To convey my most accurate sentiments, I must resort to English. I just want to say that I always look forward to our exchange of dialogue spiced with teaching moments. The most important and rare quality that this wonderful lady possesses is that she is an almost inexhaustible source of goodness. She devotes herself completely to whatever task she attempts, and her positive energy and attitude is highly contagious, but not in a loose way. She’s kind and understanding and patient, but also highly organized. Frankly, I don’t want to praise her too much because I fear generating too much competition in trying to book a time slot with her. But if you are a worthy student who can also impart something positive back to the teacher . . . Be that your devotion to learning the world’s hardest language or to learn about the teacher’s view of the world . . . And you can give back something positive to our teacher to keep her spirits and energy high . . . Then by all means we can share lol

Thank you for always patiently supporting me through transitive pairs! 今まで大変だと思った！ありがとございます。今週、もっと勉強します📚！

I can’t believe 2024 is almost over - thank you Mizuka sensei for being there to teach me the entire year. Language is a journey and I’ve been able to continually advance because of your help and lessons. Thank you for always finding the best way to teach to my level and for keeping me focused!

ありがとうみずか先生。thanks to all of your time, help and patience - I’ve been able to find enough confidence in language to survive a trip to Japan and enjoy interacting with people in Japanese. Thank you for giving me new skills and confidence
