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!
かおる先生はとても誠実で優しいです。話す機会をたくさん与えてくれますが、ゆっくりと新しい表現を教えてくれます。彼女のレッスンは本当に楽しいです!
Kaoru sensei is really kind! She always gives me a lot of chances to talk and leaves room for me to think, which I really appreciate, I think this is the art of teaching!
She also takes it slow and introduces new expressions that are very useful, and gives me a chance to use them again. I've been really enjoying her lessons and I highly recommend her!
I learnt so much every lesson with Yui-sensei. She makes japanese come to live for me as we speak. She also uses the material in a smart way, that boosts my learning.
