      My daughter took lessons with her and initially had a great experience. However, there were several last-minute cancellations and schedule changes. On one occasion, my daughter waited in front of the screen for a lesson that did not take place, which was disappointing for her. At the end of February, she told us she could not continue lessons due to a serious injury and suggested we find another tutor. While I hope she recovers quickly, the situation affected my daughter and likely other students as well. Given that lessons appear to have resumed shortly afterward, this experience felt misleading and disappointing. As a parent arranging lessons for a child, I expect reliability and clear communication. Unfortunately, this experience did not meet those expectations, so I feel it is appropriate to revise my previous rating.

      Mai is very prepared and always makes sure you are understanding and you can ask questions freely as well. She does a wonderful recap of sessions and also provides supplemental homework if you want. She is also very kind and patient. I highly recommend her.
