Risa is a fantastic teacher with a special gift. I started from zero and in only a few months I can’t believe how much I have progressed. As an older student she makes learning a great joy and brings the language and culture to life…. just brilliant! I totally recommend Risa for your Japanese language journey!
Risa is a kind, understanding teacher. She adjusts lessons according to your needs and wants. The resources are perfect and the sessions are really well planned! I would recommend Risa-sensai to anybody looking to study Japanese, even just for a short visit like me. The best!
I had the pleasure of working with Risa a few years back, and now she’s my go-to person for all things Japanese. I’m a frequent traveler to Japan, and she helps me prepare for my trips and keeps my Japanese skills sharp. Risa is an amazing tutor! She’s super patient and supportive. She makes learning Japanese a breeze. Her lessons are so much fun and always keep you on your toes.
Risa-sensei is an amazing Japanese teacher who makes a lot of effort for each student with various effective approaches.
My daughter and my son have been learning Japanese with her and I can't thank her enough for her patience and creativity to keep the lessons attractive for the children.
I’ve been coming to Risa for Japanese lessons for over 5 years. She’s so helpful and reliable. If you’re struggling with anything she will go over and explain in a very understandable way. Her lessons are very fun and very easy to understand. She’s improved my Japanese so much. I highly recommend
