6 Japanese lessons

Of course this is not to say that Yumiko-sensei is harsh or intimidating; on the contrary she's extremely nice and friendly, and caring about her students' progress, so improving my Japanese has been fun rather than a chore. Reading other reviews of her, it seems she has been just as helpful to students of all levels of Japanese study. I highly recommend her to anyone interested in learning or improving their Japanese.
Erika Y.

91 Japanese lessons

As a result, I was able to consistently receive the highest grades amongst my classmates in my highschool's AP and Honors Japanese courses allowing me to skip a year of college Japanese classes. When it came to projects and speeches I often found myself asking Toshiaki-Sensei for feedback. He even once helped me prepare a small speech that I would later present during a school trip at a Japanese high school in Japan.

She will also take note of the vocabulary or grammar that you are not familiar with, and help you practice again and again until you completely get it. If you want to learn Japanese well, I highly recommend you to take Aki teacher's classes. I have no doubt that you will learn a lot of things from Aki, and you will enjoy the learning process with her. At last, I want to say thank you very much for teaching me Japanese. It is my pleasure to learn Japanese language with you.
