      Mina San is really nice and a great teacher. She is really patient helping you practice spoken reading and grammar in your lesson (learning at your pace) and she has her own lesson plans that she uses and works through them with you really takes the time to explain things or help you (and support you) when you might need it at your pace importantly. Thank you Mina!
