clear explanation and masterful direction
Ueno san is very clear about what he wants you to learn, what the particulars of verbs and conjugation are, and addresses important details between written, spoken, and printed language

Kind and thoughtful tutor
Ueno san is kind and very patient. He is easy to talk with and is great at explaining confusing or difficult concepts. He was able to assess the level of Japanese I had and then began tailoring lessons to me and helped me practice using elements of grammar I found difficult. He's really great!

greetings, conversation, adjectives and numbers
Ueno san is very understanding, patient, and thorough with his lesson. We covered some basic phrasing for adjectives, how to count up to 99, and reviewed last week's basics

Very kind and straightforward
Kasumasa covered the basics on lesson 1 - From characters to simple subject verb phrases in a very natural and patient manner. He was very approachable and explained concepts in a way that makes sense to those outside of the Japanese culture.

Great!
he is so kind! Working with him is very easy. I have learning disabilities so I need a lot of explaining and he has been so understanding and helpful. Going slow whenever i need it or repeating things multiple times if i ask. Really recommend him!

Caters the class to your liking
Mr. Ueno(san) quickly has addressed a lot of my language needs in a few weeks. He established a great system of starting with conversation and then we go over grammar/language structures. He challenges me. He gives me very useful practice so I can speak correctly.

Kazu-sensei is amazing!
Been learning from Kazu- sensei for over 6 months and my Japanese has been improving a lot! My wife is Japanese and I can actually communicate with her family, which is a pretty big deal for me. I cannot thank Kazu-sensei enough for all the patience, caring in pushing me when needed and dedication. Thank you sir!

Helpful and patient!
He began me at a very easy paced study of hiragana and we progressed into phrases, proper grammar as well as some katakana. He also answered any questions I have. He is an outstanding sensei!!!

excellent tutor
We chose Kazu after reviewing his detailed profile and amazing reviews. Our experience with him confirms we made the right choice. Kazu taught my son beginner Japanese. It's his first Japanese lesson. From my observation, Kazu is very experienced and very approachable. My son thinks Kazu is a very nice teacher and taught him a lot in one hour. We look forward to the next lesson with Kazu!
