What others say
An amazing teacher who is very dedicated, indepth and fun. Highly recommended.
Aaron Dexter
Our teacher was very fun and so patient - making sure we understood the reasons behind the language and culture as well as the language itself. The energy and enthusiasm from the tutor made it feel like it was very enjoyable to go to class and learn, and this kept us very involved in our learning.
Lynneal Santos
This course is a good stepping stone if you want to learn the Japanese language. It was very interesting from start to finish and the teacher gave plenty of encouragement to the students.
