      Makoto is the best! I've really been enjoying the lessons and have been learning a lot. Every lesson I feel a bit more confident in my Japanese. The lessons are fun, engaging and the homework holds you accountable to actually practice. 10/10 would recommend!

      Makoto has a great sense of flow with his teaching, is very supportive and lighthearted, and will help you learn exactly what you need to know and how much you can handle learning before your next class with him. I can’t recommend his class enough!

      I am enjoying my lessons with Makoto. He is very patient with me and ensures I pronounce phrases correctly. He goes over material multiple times, making sure I understand before moving on. Excited about our next class.
