"Masaki is a great instructor to learn Japanese with. He’s easy to talk with and always ready to answer questions. He’s been amazing with giving cultural context as well so that my language learning is more complete and I can better understand what a native Japanese speaker would say as opposed to how I might say something in my own language in different situations. And if you’re like me and hear Japanese in music or shows and try to translate them but need some help, he’s always ready to help."

"Yuhi-sensei is so patient and friendly! I was nervous to speak Japanese, but he helped me feel comfortable and encouraged me step by step. Now I can introduce myself and order food with confidence. I can’t wait for my next lesson!"

"We’re using Genki in our lessons, but Haru doesn’t just stick to the book—he mixes in real-life stuff that makes everything click. Sometimes we act out scenes and crack up while doing it, but I end up remembering the vocab so much better that way. He’s great at explaining grammar without making it feel like school, and he never minds when I ask a million questions. Honestly, best decision I made for my Japanese."
