      Saori san is such a wonderful teacher! She spends a lot of time preparing a personalized lesson for you as well as knowing when to slow down or explain something in more detail. In addition, she even has the new 2026 登録日本語教員 certification which not a lot of tutors have. She brings such a positive atmosphere and likes seeing you succeed. I highly recommend her if you are looking for someone to support your Japanese studies.

      I've had two lessons with Saori-san up until now, and I have two words to describe her: Superstar Sensei! Very quickly it becomes apparent just how exceptionally talented this person is as an instructor! Her material, preparedness, her style - everything is simply perfect. Highly highly recommended!!!
