Doi先生 has been an absolutely wonderful teacher to study with! She puts care and attention into her teaching, and I always enjoy every lesson with her. Thanks to studying with her, I have been able to become much more confident in my speaking ability. I also enjoy using the Quartet textbook and workbook with Doi先生. Receiving feedback from my weekly homework has helped me gain a detailed understanding of vocabulary, word choice, and grammar. I would highly recommend Doi先生 to anyone who is looking for a kind and talented teacher!

As great as always!! In the beginning of the lesson I was struggling a bit with many words but it was great practice! It helped me learn words I never thought I'd need so soon in my studying, so I'm glad we covered them 😊 I started getting the hang of things later on but honestly if it wasn't for Maiko-sensei's help I don't think I'd be able to get through some of the things we covered. This is why I'm thankful for having such a great teacher - I know that I have both a great conversation parter and someone to be there and correct me when I face a challenging topic or new words. I can't get enough of how the most trivial word we cover can lead to a whole new conversation that teaches me a lot about our different cultures, introduces me to new vocabulary, gives me a chance to practice my grammar and speech, and is always fun regardless! 今日もお疲れ様でした！来週の授業にもう楽しみにしています😃😃

Good lesson, pretty structured. We talked about my goals, then did some speaking practice from Genki 2, then some more practice with the same concepts but with additional real-world examples.

どい先生はすごく教師です！日本語だけ使いました。私の授業はとても楽しかったです。Please take a class with Doi sensei :) I really like her & can’t wait to study together again :) どい先生、日本語を教えてありがとうございました！

I’ve been taking classes with Noriko sensei for about 3 months and would recommend her to any serious Japanese learner. She is always engaged and explains concepts in detail, adding cultural context to concepts covered in Genki. As my Japanese improves, we also have increasingly longer free-form conversations, which helps me review all the concepts I’ve learned in a natural context. I used to be very shy to speak Japanese, but am now much more comfortable after so much practice with Noriko sensei!

First Impression: Reminds me when I used to work for Aeon English Language School in Saitama years ago. Good pacing and visual examples.
