James B.

7 Japanese lessons

Hanna has quite a bit to offer as a tutor - my wife and I took Japanese lessons from her for about a month. She always used fun games and activities to keep the lessons engaging, and she was very generous in terms of scheduling. If we needed to change the day we were meeting, see her on strange hours at weekends, etc, she was willing to make it work. As working professionals, we found the flexibility extremely valuable.
Robert H.

98 Japanese lessons

i have worked with Noritaka Sensei on line for several weeks. I lived in Japan 40 years ago and have decided to review my Japanese to make my first trip back since college more fun and meaningful. Sensei has worked with me 2-3 times per week and the sessions are fun and I am making much faster progress than I had hoped. Noritaka Sensei effectively uses a textbook at times and at other times just focuses on more spontaneous conversation.
Adam R.

76 Japanese lessons

In addition to using the textbook, Alex Sensei keeps the lessons interesting with Q&A, role-playing, and listening challenges (humbling, but super interesting.) I'm planning a trip to Japan next year and I'm confident that if I keep up with my Japanese lessons, Alex Sensei will help me get into good shape for handling travel situations and also having interesting conversations beyond basic greetings and introductions.
