What others say
Our tutor was excellent, thoroughly professional and kept the classes lively and informative while tailoring them to the class level. Their knowledge of Japanese idiom and culture was extremely helpful. The best classes I have attended in this subject.

A very talented and extremely helpful Japanese teacher. I've learnt so much over this course which will be helpful for my trip to Japan and to also get fluent in Japanese. Looking forward to the next course!
