I was lucky to have Shinsuke as my teacher last year, and as someone who takes Japanese very seriously I can tell you that Shinsuke is the best teacher out there. To find a teacher with such a deep understanding of the language who can also give you a lot of added value such as insights on Japanese behavior and customs is rare. We even met at a Japanese book store, and he helped me pick books!

1 Japanese lesson

We had our first Japanese lesson with Kristin last week. My daughter who is 9 years old, just loved her. Kristin comes prepared and she knows how to access her student's level of knowledge. My daughter has been immersed in Japanese and the culture since the day she was born. I am Japanese and my husband is American. But, my parents take care of her every day after school.

I loved having Mika-Sensei as my tutor for the summer. I take Japanese classes at Georgia State University, but even going through these classes, and getting help from the teacher and other students I still have many questions when it comes to Japanese. Mika-Sensei not only helped me out with Japanese, but I can say that many times she went the extra mile.
