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!

Great First Lesson
We covered so much and helped me build. stronger structure from what I did know. I really liked his energetic and patient approach to my learning. He took the time to explain things repeating sentences and helping to develop both reading and listening skills while giving me time to practice speaking and working only pronunciation. It was a wonderful first lesson and I hope I can work more with him to really learn the language.

Enthusiastic teacher
Kazu is very patient with slow learners like me! I have learned a lot this past 1-1/2 years. He takes time to answer questions. I do as much as I can given my work schedule and busy life.
