I was very happy to take this Abacus lesson because it was available in English. This is rare to find. The tutor was very helpful and encouraging. Unfortunately I can't obtain a Soroban abacus where I live. But I do recommend this lesson to any English-speaking student.
Mika-sensei's 25-minute beginner Japanese lesson is just the right length to avoid feeling overwhelmed but also to make solid progress. I've been taking this lesson weekly for the past few months and have noticed a huge improvement in my Japanese speaking skill and confidence. The lesson pack offers excellent value for those who are serious learners.
I'm always impressed by Mika-sensei's warmth and her gentle, friendly manner, which makes me feel comfortable and at ease. She patiently waits for me to answer whenever I am stuck, which I appreciate so much!
On top of all this, she uses excellent materials that allow me to practice new grammar points thoroughly, and to work at a steady pace. She also has a great ear, always bringing my attention to mistakes not only in my grammar but also my pronunciation - which is hugely important for an English learner of Japanese like me.
Thank you Mika-sensei, I appreciate you so much and I look forward to many more lessons together!
Thank you for your continued support.
I encountered this teacher when I couldn't connect with the instructor I had booked and happened to be looking for someone available for an immediate lesson.
Teacher Chris is very kind, adapts to my pace, and is easy to talk to.
Having completed a master's degree in English literature in her home country, I feel confident taking lessons with her for that reason as well.
