She’s great at adapting to your current knowledge and delivering a personalized experience :) I already knew hiragana, katakana and very few kanji so she greatly helps me with beginner-level grammarLaura

Noriko-sensei is always cheerful and makes the lessons enjoyable. She not only teaches new vocabulary using textbooks but also enhances communication skills through free conversation. Moreover, she selects an appropriate level and explains everything thoroughly. From everyday topics to hobbies, work, and even deeper subjects, she is very easy to talk to, and the lesson time flies by. Thanks to Noriko-sensei, who makes us laugh a lot, I always look forward to the next Japanese lesson.Laura
