What others say.

The structure of the course was seamless. The handouts, homework and in class oral exercises complimented each other nicely. The tutor was a very enthusiastic and effective teacher.
Great course, just what I needed to help take my Japanese to the next level. Great tutor, made the course just the right mix of fun and challenge. Looking forward to the next one.
Our 'sensei', was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable. The lesson plans and exercises were well thought out, and the teacher was always willing to provide extra challenges to those who wanted to further their skills. I enjoyed all of our classes immensely.
