Sakiko

Sakiko is a great teacher! She is patient and kind and fun to talk to. She provides a list of the vocab we covered in the lesson so I can review it later. She guides conversation well and there are never any awkward pauses, which was something I was afraid of in a conversation lesson.

さきこ先生は優しいし、流暢に話せない時、いつも待ってくれて、そして新しい言葉を教えてくれて、大変ありがたいです。こんな素晴らしい先生に出会えたのは幸いなことです！今日は朝ごはんについて話して、色々日本の文化が知れて、自分にとって普通なことをちゃんと人に紹介するにも勉強になりました。 先生はいつも間違えたところや新しい単語をまとめて、vocab listを作ってくださって、復習にとっても役に立つと思います。最初のレッスンではすごく緊張しましたが、先生のおかげて、今はもっと自信を持って、日本語で話せるようになりました。日本語の会話を上達させたい方にさきこ先生はおすすめです。

Teshima-sensei is lively, passionate, professional, and extremely dedicated! She puts in time and effort to help students make the most of the lesson time through detailed preparation beforehand, and carefully curates each lesson to their needs depending on their language ability. She is patient and adept at explaining concepts in a simple way. I’m extremely fortunate to be learning Japanese under Teshima-sensei and fully recommended her to everyone else!

I really like Sakiko sensei's class! She leads the conversation in Japanese which encourages me to actively think and practise in speaking Japanese - but she is also very patient and will help figure out a word when I stumble. She's very bright and cheerful, and she would find fun and interesting topic that relate to me - which helped the lesson become very conversational - almost like talking to a friend and not awkward at all!

Learning Japanese with Sakiko sensei has been an absolute delight. Her encouraging manner and ability to simplify complex grammar points make learning enjoyable and accessible. I highly recommend Sakiko sensei to anyone looking to improve their Japanese language skills!

Sakiko sensei is very nice and friendly. She explained new vocabularies in the chat and never ran out of things to say. I’m planning to take the news reading lesson next.
