This was my third lesson with Wakana-sensei.  I really enjoy taking Japanese lessons with Wakana-sensei.  It gives me greater confidence to speak the language.  Wakana-sensei is patient as always and I look forward to taking more lessons with her.  

I've had the pleasure of learning Japanese from Wakana sensei, and I can't recommend her highly enough.
She possesses a deep understanding of both the Japanese language and its cultural nuances, and what truly stands out is her knack for explaining even the most unexpected questions in a friendly and approachable manner. Under her guidance, I've not only improved my language skills but also gained a richer appreciation for Japanese culture.

If you're looking for a tutor who is not only proficient but also makes learning fun, Wakana is the best teacher.   

Wakana-sensei is very friendly and enthusiastic about teaching Japanese.  It is very helpful to have more opportunities to speak Japanese and to learn more grammar and vocabulary.  

Best teacher ever. She has gotten my son to love learning a new language and loves the meetings. She is super nice and an amazing teacher.

Very energetic & enthusiastic! Totally loved her class.

I took a lot of Japanese classes and private lessons, but Wakana sensei is by far the best teacher out there.
I had studied Japanese for many years prior, but I was unhappy with how little I could speak until I started my lessons with her. She knew exactly what I needed and helped me talk more confidently and naturally. She also taught me a lot about the nuances of the language. I visited Japan this spring and was pleasantly surprised at how much I could converse with the Japanese. I can't wait to learn more from Wakana sensei and return to Japan next year.

Wakana's Japanese lessons are fun, dynamic, and tailored to individual student needs. I always look forward to my Japanese lessons with Wakana, which motivates me to study even more! 

Wakana's lessons have prepared me to visit Japan several times, and each time I go, I find I am able to communicate more fluidly and fluently than before. Even though I study all year at home in the U.S., each time I am able to do more in Japan and speak with more people on a variety of topics in Japanese. Wakana's lessons have truly opened up my ability to communicate and get things done in Japan, and to meet and engage with more people!

Wakana's dynamic lesson style and expert knowledge in Japanese language and English-Japanese and Japanese-English translation and interpretation makes her the best Japanese teacher out there! I highly recommend Wakana's Japanese lessons for anyone who wants to learn Japanese or level-up their Japanese skills!

She is so cool. I've had trouble trying to learn on my own and she very quickly reinforced everything to where I was actually using it comfortably and learning new things at the same time. She's also very fun and engaging.

I've been seeing Wakana for Japanese tutoring for more than two years now, starting with some lessons to prepare me for four Japanese classes required for graduation.

She has consistently been patient, courteous, and helpful for weekly/bi-weekly lessons. The lessons made difficult classes far more manageable, which made learning Japanese more enjoyable.

At my request, lessons have included reading through parts of a Japanese Biology field guide and working on song lyrics in Japanese, which went over very well with the class when performed for a project.

I've been continually grateful for her help and strongly recommend Wakana.

Wakana-san is an amazing Japanese teacher. I've worked with her for several years and thanks to her I am able to do my lessons entirely in Japanese. Not only is she a friendly, patient, and fun teacher, but she is also very very knowledgeable about how Japanese and American culture are different. One of the best things is that she is always able to translate English idioms and complicated vocabulary into the Japanese equivalent

I have been studying Japanese with Wakana for the last 6 years and greatly enjoy her lessons. She explains the nuances of Japanese grammar, of which there are many, extremely well and makes learning the language very fun. I learn not only spoken Japanese with her but also kanji (Chinese characters adopted into Japanese): when I use a new word in conversation, she writes the kanji in the Chat feature and also writes the furigana (how the character is pronounced) below the kanji. As I know some Japanese from having lived in Japan for 2 1/2 years, I like that Wakana speaks to me in Japanese unless I ask her to explain something in English. I heartily recommend Wakana to anyone who wants to learn Japanese, no matter what level they may be at--she's an excellent teacher!

My daughter has been taking classes with Wakana for the past 3 years and absolutely loves them. Recently, we had a Japanese friend visit us, and to our amazement, my daughter spoke entirely in Japanese. We were thoroughly impressed with her language skills and progress. The best teacher ever!!

Wakana sensei is incredibly knowledgeable. She is great at explaining difficult grammar concepts. Japanese grammar can be pretty complex, but she always manages to break things down in a way that's easy to understand. She's also very patient and always willing to answer questions. I love her energy that keeps me engaged and interested, and her sense of humor always makes me smile.

Wakana is one of the most energetic and enthusiastic teachers I've ever had. I feel like I am not only learning Japanese but also having a great time in the class. She truly makes learning Japanese a fun and enjoyable experience. I feel lucky to have her as my teacher, and I would highly recommend her to anyone who wants to learn Japanese.
