Phillip is truly remarkable as a teacher. When I first took his lessons, I didn’t realize I would fall in love with reading and truly understand how to read. I’m so glad I embarked on this journey with him.
From short essays to mid-length novels, and now, we’ve just finished a Shakespeare play… it’s been a long journey for me, with many obstacles in reading and comprehension—each one of them has transformed me.
I’ve learned to read more deeply, both inside and outside the text (author background, historical context, etc.), to think in different ways from different perspectives, and to interpret characters' words and tones, among other things. It’s not just because I started reading, but also because Phillip kept discussing the topics and related things with me, guiding me on techniques and what to focus on, etc.
It’s always a pleasure to exchange thoughts on the works, and his humorous personality is definitely a plus. With Phillip, I can express everything I want to say and take notes without feeling judged.
It’s relaxing, fun, and inspiring… With Phillip’s reading lessons, you get it all!
Taku Sensei's N3 lessons are well prepared and I think about the lesson long after it has finished. The lesson feedback is great and Taku Sensei is professional and fun. His voice is very clear and lessons are very well organised. Taku Sensei uses screen sharing and I am always confident of the content I am working on. I would recommend these N3 lessons to anyone who is considering the JLPT exam and also for those who need Japanese for daily conversation.
Teacher Bien provided me with some very useful suggestions to adjust the order of my speech and slides. I moved the Otani slide to the beginning, and it created an amazing and engaging effect! It was such a pleasure talking to you during that stand-by lesson. Thank you so much for your guidance. :)
