James is a very attentive and supportive teacher. He clearly points out mistakes in a helpful way, which makes it easy to understand areas for improvement. The lessons cover a wide range of interesting topics, making the learning experience engaging. His feedback is practical and actionable, which has been very useful for my progress.
Mineco-sensei and I have been reading 吾輩は猫である which is a book I have been very interested in for years now, but could never really understand by myself.
Mineco-sensei always prepares thoroughly for each lesson. She makes slides with the words, phrases and grammar for each passage. She also researches the cultural background whenever there's a difficult part or idiom in the text, as well as prepares some sentences for me to read outloud as a practice. We always have a chat about the passage and every single lesson is a lot of fun. I really appreciate all of the work Mineco-sensei puts into lesson prep.
Manning is patient, professional, and well-organized. I was especially impressed by the detailed and tailored learning plan he provided after our first lesson. I would be happy to continue learning with him.
