146 Japanese lessons

Masato has been working with my daughter for a year and, with his help, she has become a much stronger student. A year ago she was starting to fall behind in Japanese, but now she has a solid A and feels much more confident in class. Masato is extremely kind and patient and clearly has the gift of making learning fun. He frequently brings his own worksheets so that my daughter can get extra practice with the topics that she is learning in class.

I understand your mother made you go to an English conversation school when you were in the 5th grade and was not ready or interested. I never made my son learn Japanese, it was solely his choice. I do need to apologize for the miscommunication about his age, but I emailed you several times informing you of his age, and grade. If you felt that you were not qualified or experience to teach elementary students. Why didn’t you tell me before your time started? Thank you.

He is your typical high energy, easily distracted, homework hating child. While my wife was a native Japanese speaker, I was born and raised in the U.S., so when he was even placed in ESOL, I was very upset. With one of my degrees being in English, I thought I could just give him some extra lessons outside of school to help him catch up. unfortunately, no matter what I tried, he could not stay focused. As a last resort, my wife and I decided to try a tutor.
