Nori

I’ve been learning with Nori for more than a year now. She always comes prepared with the materials to meet my needs and goals in learning Japanese. They are thought provoking, just enough challenging and most of all fun! Nori is always there to help me whenever I’m having a hard time in understanding the materials and never loses patience, which motivates and encourages me to speak more!

Nori is a wonderful teacher who has a great ability to make you feel at ease. She is so encouraging and her notes make perfect sense. I encourage anyone to take her lesson as you will enjoy it and find it extremely beneficial. My weekly chat with Nori is a highlight. Thank you Nori.

I always enjoy my lessons with Nori sensei! -She asks good questions that keep the conversation flowing and gives me a chance to try speaking about different but relevant topics. I never feel like I have to force myself to find something to talk about. -I get good feedback on my speaking and explanations on correct usage are always clear and understandable. -I've been able to build my confidence with using Japanese and feeling like I'm understood. -Her follow up feedback lets me review words that I may have struggled with during the lesson.

今日はのりさんとゲームをしました。最初はどうやって遊ぶのか理解するのが難しかったのですが、のりさんの忍耐強さとわかりやすい説明のかげで、楽しむことができました。楽しんで、学ぶことも多かったです。本当にありがとうございました！！

のりさんに会うのは本当に久しぶりでした。今日また話しできて、本当に嬉しかったです。いつも通り、すごく楽しかったです。ありがとうございました！また次回！
