Toshi is calm and collected and so patient in his approach. I felt challenged to push myself right from the get go which is what I was looking for in pursuing a tutor. He gave a lot of great positive feedback as well which really helps motivate me. It has only been one lesson so far but I'm so excited to return next week.

My first session with Toshi was great, and I look forward to continue working with him in the future! We went over hiragana, their pronunciation, and the correct intonation of words. Toshi was both helpful and patient, as well as able to give clear responses to any of the questions I brought up. Overall, I would definitely recommend Toshi!

My first lesson was great. I struggle in class and avoid problem words or difficult grammar because I don't want to hold up my class. It's great to be able to have someone patient to help in these areas and build my confidence.
