Personal Description:
こんにちは、I am a native Japanese speaker and I've been living in the UK for over 10 years. I started teaching Japanese in 2015 and have taught various levels of students.
As a teacher I like to encourage students to enjoy the language they're learning and be interested in the country/culture, and also most importantly to get you speaking and reading and understanding Japanese as soon as possible.
Teaching Experience:
I've been teaching Japanese since 2015 and I've taught both person to person and online, however, I currently only do online lessons.
Apart from usual lessons through a textbook, I have also helped with university assignments, prepare presentations or translation for advanced level students and prepare basic Japanese communication skills for travelling specifically.
I have also taught English for 3 years to primary and secondary school students in Japan according to the national curriculum. And 1 year teaching English to Japanese nursery school children using home made games, cards and songs.
Teaching Approach:
I offer a free trial lesson to make sure we both are happy with the arrangement before we start paid lessons.
Lesson structure would vary for each level. I'd like to focus on the request of learners adapting teaching style for every student's needs, anime/manga interpretation, or translation, or just day-to-day conversation practice in modern Tokyo.
Also I try to create extra exercises or go through extra practices during the lesson according to the student's requests.
I use Discord video call for lessons and most of the lesson materials are online/digitised. I also invite all students to join a communal Discord server I created. Joining the server is not compulsory and however students can communicate or practise Japanese with each other freely on one of the channels.
Whether you learn Japanese for fun or travelling purposes, please feel free to contact me :)

AiFrom Sofia (5/5): the lessons are really fun & Ai is very patient and encouraging!
Reply from: Ai: Thank you for your feedback and I'm pleased to hear that you're enjoying the lessons. :)
From Jim (/5): Ai san gives very clear explanations that can make very obscure grammar points much easier to grasp. She tailors her lessons and assignments to both give progress in the language and to practice and strengthen those areas where knowledge is lacking.
Reply from: Ai: コメントありがとうございます。I hope you're enjoying the lessons and I look forward to progressing more and more. よろしくお願いします。:)
From Joseph (/5): Ai-Sensei is an excellent teacher. Every lesson is extremely enjoyable and informative and I feel more and more confident in my Japanese every week. I'm extremely happy with the tutoring I receive and would definitely recommend Ai-Sensei to anyone looking to learn Japanese.

From Jayd (/5): Ai-sensei was a brilliant and patient tutor :) She used a broad range of exercises throughout our sessions and they were all very engaging - the materials for the class were dynamic and varied and very well organised, and gave me confidence in my broadening knowledge and handle of the language. I had studied a bit of Japanese in the past, and Ai-sensei very quickly calibrated to my level and we made very useful progress from there. Would highly recommend her!
Reply from: Ai: フィードバックありがとうございます。I hope you were able to use lots of Japanese in Japan and enjoyed the time there. :)
From Chloe (/5): I feel really happy with my tuition so far!
Ai is very warm and friendly, I feel happy with the pacing and Ai is very patient too.
Lessons are always on time and engaging; I even feel like they go quickly!
I mainly struggle with kanji and I enjoy that the lesson has been adapted to work towards that. Ai is an excellent tutor and I very much recommend her!

From Jordan (/5): Ai Sensei is incredible and patient. Her teaching style really helps you develop quickly and efficiently. She engages you with a smile and explains everything thoroughly and you don't feel silly when you make a mistake. I am 9 lessons in and have enjoyed every single hour spent learning and cant wait to learn more.

From Amanda (/5): Ai very quickly worked out where my young person's knowledge of the language was at, and progresses at a nice pace. Her punctuality, patience and sense of humour are well appreciated. We love working with Ai :)
Reply from: Ai: Thank you very much for your kind comment. I think we're progressing well every lesson and I look forward to future lessons :)
From Lauren (/5): Ai is a fantastic tutor! She is very kind, patient, and caters each lesson to your current level. When I began I was unable to speak any Japanese; however, a few lessons in and I am already forming sentences! I have never once felt pressured when making a mistake and always feel encouraged afterwards. Ai also provides plenty of material to use for practice in between lessons, which has helped greatly. I would absolutely recommend choosing Ai as your tutor if you are interested in learning Japanese!

From Lee (/5): Ai is an excellent teacher, her lessons are always perfectly paced for me and gives you the time you need if you are struggling with something and is excellent with her explanations. i went into my first lesson knowing basically no japanese and after only a few lessons i was able to form sentences and answer questions in full and proper japanese. Highly recommend Ai to anyone who wants to learn japanese, even if you are a complete beginner!!

From Elena (/5): I’ve been having lessons with Ai for a couple of months now, and I can definitely see an improvement with my Japanese. She has a great structure to her lessons, and I always find myself looking forward to my lessons whilst also feeling extremely accomplished after. Really can’t recommend her enough!

From Lisa (/5): I really like Ai and enjoy my lessons with her. I've only had a few so far but I always look forward. She is always on time and is super patient which I really appreciate since sometimes I don't always understand things straight away. I also really like how she sets homework and tasks to do as it motivates and allows me to practice and get better in my free time. I really recommend her to anyone looking to start learning Japanese!! She's really kind and a great teacher. :)
Reply from: Ai: Thank you very much for your kind comment. I'm pleased to hear that you're enjoying the lessons and I look forward to future lessons :) ありがとうございます。
From Samuel (/5): The only issues I've ever had have been technical in nature, but it's nobody's fault and an inevitability.
Reply from: Ai: Thank you for your comment. I hope you're enjoying the lessons. ありがとうございます :)
From Thomas (/5): Ai is a perfect tutor for teaching you Japanese! Ai tailors the lesson to your needs and leaves you feedback throughout the lesson. If you struggle with a certain aspect of Japanese, Ai will provide you with specific homework or exercises to help you excel within that topic. Overall a great teacher!
Reply from: Ai: Thank you very much for your kind comment and I'm pleased to hear that you're happy with the lesson arrangement. I look forward to future lessons. よろしくおねがいします :)
From Ingrid (/5): I have been taking weekly lessons for nearly three months now and highly recommend Ai to anyone wanting to learn Japanese.
Ai is a wonderful teacher; she is patient and thoughtful, and does a great job at pacing lessons so that they are just the right level of challenge. She makes use of various different learning resources which have been extremely helpful, and the homework is perfect for consolidating each session's learning topics. The lessons help students make consistent progress in every aspect of language learning (writing, typing, reading, speaking, vocabulary acquisition, kanji practice, etc.) and Ai is brilliant at helping students put everything together.
I've studied Japanese on and off on my own for a time using different self-study resources, but I find these lessons are helping me progress much faster than I ever could on my own. They have also immensely helped my confidence with speaking. I also really appreciate how Ai often shares insights into Japanese that one wouldn't get from a textbook (like, for example the subtle nuances of two different 'correct' ways of saying something).
Because of Ai's thoughtful, flexible approach to teaching, I imagine she would be a fantastic teacher no matter what one's motivation for learning Japanese or level of experience. I recommend her whole-heartedly and plan to continue studying with her indefinitely.

I definitely look forward to continuing to learn from Ai.

From Bethany (/5): I love having my lessons with Ai, she’s a great tutor and makes things very easy to understand. She is patient and doesn’t rush you which is nice as there isn’t loads of pressure.

From Karl (/5): I've been learning with Ai for 2 months now and cannot recommend her any higher.
She's always punctual and polite, accommodating of my needs as a student and supportive if I struggle to understand the content of the lesson.
The lessons are well structured, giving time to review homework, practice speaking/ listening/ writing, as well as learning new content at a pace that works for me.
I'd attempted to learn Japanese alone to little success but now that I've been learning with Ai, I feel more confident and look forward to future lessons to develop my Japanese knowledge further.

From Arpan (/5): Ai has been really helpful with learning Japanese. We go through topics e.g. verb conjugation, where she thoroughly explains how it works. Afterwards, we would practice using the techniques learnt by having short conversations. By doing this, not only do I learn how sentences work, I get first hand experience by using them in short conversations, which has really helped in not only retain the techniques but also improved my confidence with speaking in Japanese.
Ai also sets out regular homework on the content learnt and uses bits learnt from other previous lessons to further cement my understanding.
So far, I am enjoying studying Japanese under Ai's guidance and look forward to continue improving!

From Lydia (/5): Ai's Japanese lessons have been exactly what I needed to revise and further progress in Japanese. She has tailored each lesson so far to match my needs. In most lessons we cover Kanji, Reading, vocabulary, speaking and writing. She makes an effort to conduct most of the lesson in Japanese which has really helped my listening skills. I also do my best to reply in Japanese and when I make a mistake Ai will correct me on the spot which I find really helpful, since it allows me to recognise the mistakes I am making.
Thank you Ai !
Thank you Ai !

From Elaine (/5): Ai is an excellent tutor. I didn't really believe at my age I could learn a difficult language like Japanese from scratch but thanks to Ai I am succeeding!
Ai always expects hard work so we are making very good progress, she is also kind and very, very patient.

From Caroline (/5): Ai has been tutoring my 10 year old for last few months - she is always well prepard and the lesson is something my daughter really looks forward to. At first I did think an hour lesson might be too much but the time flies by now. Ai has always been accommodating and flexible to our requests if we have needed to make a change due to holiday or other commitments. I would thoroughly recommend Ai as a Tutor.
Reply from: Ai: Thank you very much for your lovely comment. I'm impressed with her progress and looking forward to the future lessons :)
From Thao (/5): I've only had a couple of lessons with Ai-san, but I'm enjoying them a lot and am looking forward to the next one! It had been a year since I moved back to the UK from living in Japan for two years so I was very nervous about my rusty Japanese. But right from the first lesson, she immediately put me at ease. She had also immediately identified what I needed and wanted from the lessons, which was to be more conversation/grammar-driven and has tailored each lesson for that. She even accommodates when I just want to waffle on and reminisce with her about Japan XD Ai-san is a super friendly person and I would highly recommend her to anyone!
Reply from: Ai: Thank you very much for your kind comment. I think your Japanese is improving every lesson and I'm looking forward to the future lessons too. これからもよろしくお願いします :)
From Paris (/5): I've had half a dozen lessons with Ai and she is a wonderful tutor. Patient, informative, educational amd friendly. Very high quality tuition too. Would highly recommend Ai!
Reply from: Ai: Thank you very much for your kind comment. I hope you're enjoying the lessons and I'm looking forward to the future lessons! ありがとうございます :)
From Max (/5): I've thoroughly enjoyed studying Japanese under Ai's guidance. She has been understanding of the fact that Japanese unfortunately has to come second to studying for my A-Level exams and so was willing to host lessons on a bi-weekly bias with a fairly flexible schedule. She introduced some (much needed) structure to my learning of the language when I came to something of a dead-end after 6-months or so of self-study. Though they are admittedly still rather awful,working with Ai has given me the opportunity to slowly improve my listening and speaking skills, and also prompted me to stop focusing exclusively on reading and writing as I had done previously.
Ai is a kind and patient person. Though I generally hate video calling, I have now become fairly comfortable doing so with her.
Overall, I would recommend 愛先生！:)

From Hazel (/5): I feel i'm learning a lot with every class we have; especially with my reading. I like that I have homework so that I can take the time to slowly review and understand what I need to work more on. At the moment, it's the matter of continuously revising my vocab because I think that's my weak point. I look forward to being able to have a fluent conversation in Japanese :)

From Rhiannon (/5): Ai-sensei is a fantastic teacher! I hadn't spoken Japanese properly for almost a decade when I started my lessons, and although I'm quite Skype-shy, Ai-sensei immediately put me at ease. We get through so much in every class hour, and after a couple of months of lessons, my confidence has improved a great deal. Lessons are well balanced between speaking/listening, reading, and writing practice, and she is endlessly patient and kind. My only regret is not starting sooner!

From Ewelina (/5): It's my biggest dream to learn Japanese and Ai-san helping me make this come true. She is the best teacher I ever had! Always prepared for the lesson and on time. Keen to answer any questions with professional manner - even if they are very silly ;)
If you thinking about learning Japanese, contact Ai-san and you wont regret!

From Lopez (/5): Ai sensei is a great teacher, friendly, very patient and understanding.
I'm really enjoying my lessons, always challenging but never overwhelming. I feel I've made good progress after every lesson.
After just over 2 months I am already confident reading and writing Hiragana, Katakana and even a little Kanji!
I highly recommend Ai to anybody looking for a Japanese tutor.

From Leah (/5): I am so thankful for Ai and her helping me with Japanese. I knew little bits but never knew how to start actually learning it. With Ai she focuses on what I’m struggling with and makes lessons easy to understand. She also understands if I’m unable to make a lesson and will reorganise it.
ありがとうごさいます！

From Claire (/5): Ai tutors my teenage son in Japanese. She provides on-line tutoring and is excellent. My son loves his lessons and has learned so much. He looks forward to it every week. Ai is organised and makes lessons enjoyable but is very informative and highly skilled. I highly recommend Ai.
Reply from: Ai: Thank you very much for your lovely comment. I'm very impressed with the progress and looking forward to many more fun lessons :)
From Helen (/5): Starting as a complete beginner, I feel like I'm learning a lot very quickly. I feel I am progressing at a good pace, and I am surprised by how much I have learned in the past couple of months. I appreciate how flexible you have been with changing the lessons around when needed and I am enjoying my lessons! ありがとうございます :)

From Jonathan (/5): Thank you so much for the japanese lesson, it was really helpful in starting to grasp the language and understand how it works. It was also good to be able to correct my pronunciation of words and phrases, which you don't get the chance to do with just reading an online tutorial.
Reply from: Ai: Thank you very much for your comment and I look forward to our first lesson :)
From Kewin (/5): Fantastic. We get a lot covered in an hours time, homeworks are always challenging and related to the lesson.
Reply from: Ai: Thank you for your lovey comment. I hope you're enjoying the lessons and I'm looking forward to the future lessons! ありがとうございます:)
From Aarifa (/5): Ai-さん is an incredibly kind, patient and understanding teacher. I am an 18 year old student who is currently undertaking A-Levels which are not language-based, and she is very understanding that I have limited time to work on language practice between lessons.
The lessons themselves are very well structured - every week I am given a small vocabulary and Kanji test, and then through the lesson we work on grammar, dialogue and reading comprehension. Ai-さん always ensures that the 1 hour lesson is used fully, and has shared lots of resources with me so that I can use them both in the lessons and independently. The lessons are paced incredibly well, and I feel as though I am learning a lot but still have time to absorb and comprehend the information.
before the next lesson.
A fantastic teacher :)

From Owen (/5): Ai has been tutoring our 11 year old daughter since Oct-18. Ai's lessons are well planned and well paced. We had not had experience of tutoring via Skype and our daughter can be quite shy; to AI's great credit she has built a lovely rapport with our daughter, her progress is beyond our expectations and her enthusiasm for learning Japanese is growing all time as a result of Ai's lessons. We would strongly recommend Ai.
Reply from: Ai: Thank you for your lovely comment. I'm very impressed how much we improve every time and I look forward to our future lessons! :)
From Liam (/5): Ai is a great teacher, her teaching method is perfect for my way of learning but she is also very patient when I am struggling with learning certain words or characters. Would definitely recommend.

From Elliot (/5): Ai is an excellent Japanese teacher, as I am a beginner she has supplied me with the best material to help me start learning the language. She has helped me with learning the different sentences and how to pronounce certain words in a specific sentence, giving me tasks to accomplish outside the lessons to improve myself. She has allowed me to go at my own pace through the beginners curriculum and supporting me in every meeting.
I highly recommend her as a teacher.

From Megan (/5): I am a more advanced learner of Japanese, who hadn’t had lessons for a while. Ai sensei very quickly tuned in to exactly what I needed in my online sessions with her, and as a result, I feel so much more confident and fluent after only a few months of lessons!
I would highly recommend Ai as a tutor for students of all levels. She is patient, friendly and flexible towards how you approach learning Japanese!
感謝してます、愛先生！これからも宜しくお願い致します！

From James (/5): Having been learning on an application for a while and finding it difficult to tie certain things together, as well as keep the motivation up; I decided to try a tutor.
I am very pleased with Ai and find her engaging, friendly and a great teacher.
I've left it a number of lessons before leaving a review and if it weren't for a lack of money I'd definitely be looking to do more lessons; which is a testament to my confidence in Ai and the tuition that I've had thus far!

From Richard (/5): I have been taking lessons with Ai-Sensei for a while now and I would highly recommend her as a tutor. I started lessons with practically no prior learning and Ai-Sensei took me through my first steps in an easy to understand and logical manner; starting with the hiragana and basic vocabulary.
I enjoy my lessons with Ai-Sensei not only because the teaching is fun but also because she is able to answer any questions regarding real world usage of phrases and terms, including answering questions about Japanese culture.
If you decide to learn Japanese with Ai-Sensei, you will not be disappointed!

Reply from: Ai: Thank you very much for your kind comment. I very much enjoyed our lessons too :)
From Phill (/5): Ai has been a great teacher. I requested her services as I was preparing for an upcoming Japanese proficiency exam for work.
I had a bit of experience previously with dealing with Japanese customers mainly via email, however I felt I needed a bit of a refresher with face to face communication to improve on my speaking and listening skills. I only had 3 or 4 sessions before my exam, but I felt they were very helpful indeed. I would definitely use her services again should I feel I need more practice in the future.

From Tom (/5): I don't feel like I have a lot to say, its all been good so far. The lessons feel well paced and the way the learning is set out feels good, there is plenty of time to consolidate what you are going over between the exercises in lesson and the homework. Doing some reading practice at the end of each lesson has been helpful and is a good way to give an idea of progress as well as moving the learning away from just the textbooks.

From Alla (/5): Ai is great teacher. I like her structured and methodical approach. She covers all important areas during the lesson: vocabulary, reading, writing, conversation, grammar. I feel I am progressing fast with her. I didn't expect to start learning kanji this year. She explain basics in a very thorough way ad I am happy to recommend her as a very good and efficient teacher.

From James (/5): I really enjoyed my lessons with Ai. She was a great tutor; very patient, organised and thorough. As a beginner, I was surprised at how much I learned in such a short space of time. It's a shame I didn't have more time as I would have loved more lessons. Thanks Ai!
Reply from: Ai: Thank you very much for your lovely comment. I very much enjoyed our lessons too :) I wish all the best in Japan!
From Holly (/5): Ai sensei is an utterly amazing tutor. In a very short time she has already helped me so much and is really building my confidence in Japanese. We learn online and I am genuinely in awe at how she uses different systems to make up for it being face to face, utilising **E-mail Address Removed**docs and Skype well. She is well planned and has an excellent pace to every lesson, I can't believe how much she fits in! If you want a truly fantastic and talented teacher who is also approachable and encouraging, then Ai sensei is the tutor for you!

From Edwin (/5): Feedback just to you 愛先生？ If not the site is very unclear~
hmm ok then, firstly I don't usually give 5/5 or 10/10 etc. in general.
Anyways I'd say, probably, because our lessons are quite short it doesn't leave enough time to go over everything (although I may just be thinking that because of the textbook you use, showing "Lesson 1" etc.) making it seem like it would be more ideal to go over the entire section, therefore it feels like things are going quite slowly.
Saying that however as I am now the pace seems reasonable and of course getting the basics down and making sure a student knows them before moving onto more advanced vocabulary/reading/writing is perfectly logical.
Looking at the homework being set it feels alright for a simple review of the lesson, however at least for me I think a homework plan would make things go either quicker or more efficiently.
For example saying something like go over this vocabulary on this day, review this on this day, "you don't appear to be grasping this topic so you need to go over this a bit more" etc… things like that could make things go quicker, although at the same time may be too much or seem too strict a plan but should be geared towards the student.
Overall I'd say, an excellent tutor especially when you get the feeling of "hmm the lesson is over already" without feeling that you haven't accomplished(?) anything.
Although a slight despondence when the next lesson starts a feeling of "hmm I should have gone over that topic again" (probably meaning the student should try harder~)
As a tutor I don't think I could add anything to what every other review has already said about you, at least for now~
Early days, wrote most of this I think a week ago, posting when I'm sleepy and possibly too much blood lost from past weeks~

Reply from: Ai: Thank you for your honest comment. We could discuss some of things you mentioned in the lesson :)
From Nanami (/5): I very much enjoy my Japanese lessons with Ai. I am half Japanese and was able to speak/write a little already and was not sure how easily a teacher would be able to accommodate my individual capability and help me to improve. I need not have worried! Ai very quickly tuned into my specific requirements and has helped me to formalise grammatical knowledge, develop new vocabulary and keep learning kanji. I find my lessons both interesting and good fun; I would thoroughly recommend Ai as a Japanese tutor.
Reply from: Ai: Thank you very much for your lovely comment. I very much enjoy our lessons too :) I look forward to the future lessons!
From Teo (/5): As a complete beginner I started learning Japanese with Ai last October, and since then through her teaching and guidance I have been pleasantly surprised by how quickly my Japanese ability has progressed in such a short space of time. Every lesson with Ai is structured and in-depth; she can always confidently answer any general or grammatical questions I may have which is extremely helpful; you can truly tell she is passionate about her teaching. I attend university weekly but Ai is always flexible so I am able to fit in lessons once a week, always setting some kind of homework so I can learn during my free time too. On top of that, Ai is a friendly, patient and kind person who puts time into making sure your learning experience is as good as it possibly can be. I always look forward to our weekly lesson and can't wait to carry on learning Japanese with Ai in the future.:)
Reply from: Ai: Thank you very much for your generous comment. I look forward to the future lessons too :)
From Greg (/5): I have been taught by Ai now for about three months, and I believe that she is a great Japanese tutor. After completing a few years of Japanese classes as a side-project at university, I contacted Ai in hope of continuing my study of Japanese, and I'm very glad that I did. Ai provides a great balance of reading, writing and speaking practice, and also puts in lots of time and effort in to her students by producing personalised lesson plans, vocabulary/ grammar documents and even goes out of her way to find articles on a topic that the student requests, as part of the reading practice.
Being both a PhD student and part-time teacher at my university, I was concerned that studying a language would be challenging given my busy life and other commitments. However, I have since found that this is no problem as Ai works hard to set an appropriate amount of tasks to allow me to balance my PhD and study of Japanese. Ai is professional, friendly, and a joy to be taught by. I look forward to lots more lessons with her as I continue towards the JLPT N3!

Thank you for being patient with me. I highly recommend her for learning Japanese :)
Reply from: Ai: Thank you very much for your kind comment and I really enjoy our lessons. I look forward to the future lessons ;)
From Rachel (/5): I chose Ai to teach me survival/beginners Japanese, and I have had two lessons so far. She is very friendly and clear, and follows a clear syllabus which she has amended to meet my needs (more speaking less writing and reading). She goes at a good pace which is pushing me but not overwhelming. I am looking forward to my future lessons and my trip to Japan!
Reply from: Ai: Thank you very much for your lovely comment. I'm also looking forward to the future lessons :)
From Lewis (/5): I have been learning Japanese for just over a month now with Ai as my tutor and have already learnt much more in that time than I could have imagined possible! With her guidance I can now read/write both hiragana and katakana as well as gaining an understanding of basic grammar which I would have envisaged taking much longer before enlisting her tutelage. Ai is a brilliant tutor who is not only thoroughly proficient in her own native language of Japanese but also has an excellent grasp of the English language thus meaning it is very easy to understand her explanations of the Japanese language. She is very flexible with her schedule and very generous in the time she devotes to her lessons, always striving to get the most out of each one. She is also fantastic at providing her students with the resources they need to study, before I purchased my Genki textbooks (which was not necessary as she provides her students with the entirety of the textbook online!) she would provide me with the relevant pages before each lesson so that I could prepare and assimilate the lessons. I would definitely recommend Ai to anyone studying/looking to study Japanese, I am enjoying our lessons and am looking forward to improving even further under her tutelage in future!

In my first lesson, I already learned how to introduce myself and basic greetings/goodbyes (after a little home study from myself as well).
I highly recommend her for learning Japanese and I am also looking forward to my future lessons.

From Jaysen (/5): Ai is the best. It's that simple
At first I wanted to learn a few phases for my trip to Toyko. But since Learning with Ai i want to know everything about the language and culture.
Her style of teaching Japanese is Excellent in the space of 2.5 months, I can confidently read and write Hiragana and Katakana. I also can read and write a small amount of Kanji too. Now we are just getting to grip with Numbers and telling the time.
Ai is Funny, Easy going and Patient. She is very passionate about teaching and her students, There have even been times when she has changed her work pattern to fit around my lessons.
So my Advice is simple, if you want to learn Japanese language from an excellent teacher call Ai you will not regret it.
AI Thanks for everything and I will be see you again in January to continue my teaching.

Reply from: Ai: Thank you very much for the lovely comment. It has been really fun and pleasure to teach you! :)
From Matt (/5): I have been learning Japanese with Ai for few months now and couldn't ask for a better teacher. She is friendly and relaxed, happy to go at whatever pace suits me and my schedule at the time and structures her lessons so that, whilst I am always learning something new, I am also practicing and reinforcing that which I have already learned.
With her guidance I can now confidently write and read Hiragana and Katakana, and am getting faster at it over time. We have also been looking at some Kanji, Grammar and vocabulary and I am excited about getting more proficient with everything.
I am really happy that I found and chose Ai to be my tutor and would encourage anyone looking to learn Japanese to have her as their tutor too!
