Rie's Feedback

Having learned some Japanese when I was working there as an expat, I wanted to revive my knowledge to keep my brain active now I am retired. Rie has pitched our weekly lesson just at the right spot. She is fun to work with and I look forward to the lessons. i am a casual learner who has forgotten a lot having passed Level 4 (now Level five ) of the JLPT some 20 years ago.

All my life I’ve been studying on my own on-and-off, but would always give up. I am so, so glad that I reached out to Rie. The lessons are always fun and I can see that I am actually making progress this time - it’s so rewarding!
Rie is very patient and encouraging, and celebrates what seems like the smallest things like me actually remembering and being able to read some katakana :) (she is very patient and understanding with that, as I am struggling with it). It makes me feel good knowing that my efforts are being recognised and encourages me to study harder.
We’ve had a few sessions now and I feel confident in saying that I absolutely have found the right tutor for me and I would absolutely recommend reaching out to Rie to anyone who is considering studying Japanese.
I appreciate the kindness, useful tips, interesting facts, patience and laughter during lessons. Every time the lesson finishes, I feel very motivated and cannot wait until our next one. :) Thank you!

I am very glad and thankful to have my lessons with Rie. She is a fun teacher, who is happy to provide context and answers to all my questions. I'm finding it hard to learn, but Rie is making it as easy as possible. I look forward to my lessons every week!

Subarashii,

I have been having regular lessons with Rie for nearly 3 months now. I was initially nervous about having lessons with a tutor. Rie has such an easy manner that I was immidiately put at ease, now our lessons are a high point of my week.

I established JLPT as a goal to work towards and Rie has been guiding me through a well structured program with that aim in mind. However my Japanese confidence as increased so quickly that I have now been able to accept a job teaching English in Japan starting next year.

Whilst I have conducted a lot of private study outside of sessions with Rie, this has been based on her advice and guidance. It is not unfair to say that without her I simply would not be in a position to move to Japan and start a wonderful new adventure.

Whatever your goal is I cannot recommend Rie highly enough!

Rie is a great tutor, and is tailoring our weekly lessons based on my learning goals (to become confident in conversational Japanese) and level (intermediate). I have enjoyed and learnt a lot so far from each lesson.

Rie is helping me learn some 'survival Japanese' for my upcoming Japan trip. Rie is catering the lessons to my specific needs, she's fun, engaging and makes learning a real joy. Really glad I found her, I highly recommend her lessons.

My daughter is really enjoying her weekly lesson with Rie. The content and how Rie teaches is detailed, but fun… cannot recommend her enough.

Excellent tutor who is very familiar with the Japanese GCSE syllabus is able to tailor the lesson to whatever level is required and help focus on strengthening your ability to tackle specific areas of exam papers. Highly recommended. Thank you Rie!

At the time of posting this review, Rie and I have had five online lessons and I totally recommend her as a teacher. I have been studying Japanese language on my own using books and apps for a few months but speaking with Rie has massively improved my understanding and confidence with the language.
Rie makes the lessons fun to learn and she has the patience to make sure I have understood what she is teaching me.
Thank you.

Really is a really great tutor! I enjoy our lessons alot

Rie is very patient and attentive during lessons and makes the best effort to help you learn at the level you're starting at.

Rie has been teaching me Japanese for just over a month. She is an excellent teacher with lots of patience. Her instruction is clear and precise. I would absolutely recommend her.

Rie is a fantastic tutor who is very personable and makes learning fun for my work shy son. She is also flexible and very good at tailoring the lesson to our needs and proactive in thinking about how to make the learning experience successful. We are very happy to have picked this lovely tutor.
