"Sasaki-sensei is a phenomenal instructor and a lovely person. She tailored her lesson plans to my goals and desires (e.g. pitch accent & pronunciation improvements) and walked me step-by-step through everything. We covered a detailed treatment of keigo, hundreds of grammar points, and countless vocabulary words. Because of her guidance, I went from barely JLPT N3 level to passing N2 and N1 on my first attempts and from struggling to read simple manga to reading Japanese novels with little trouble! I couldn't have asked for a better instructor and I know I wouldn't be nearly as proficient as I am now if not for her."

"I cannot recommend Sasaki-sensei enough as a Japanese instructor. Over the past six months of twice-weekly virtual lessons, she has been instrumental in my Japanese language journey. Her structured yet flexible teaching approach helped me successfully pass the JLPT N5 exam, and I'm now confidently working toward N4 under her guidance.

What sets her apart is her ability to create engaging, personalized lessons that maintain a balance between conversation practice, grammar instruction, and exam preparation. Despite being virtual, our sessions feel just as effective and interactive as in-person classes. Her patience, encouraging teaching style, and deep understanding of common challenges faced by Japanese learners have made my transition to life in Japan much smoother.

She provides clear explanations, useful learning materials, and practical examples that connect directly to daily life in Japan. Thanks to her support, I've not only achieved my initial language goals but have gained the confidence to use Japanese in real-world situations. For anyone looking to learn Japanese, whether for professional development, exam preparation, or personal interest, I highly recommend Sasaki-sensei as a teacher."

"Learning Japanese has been enjoyable and fulfilling thanks to Sasaki Sensei. With her guidance, I have seen significant improvement in my speaking, reading, and writing abilities. Her lessons are engaging, incorporating various examples, including funny Japanese comics, and drills that have been instrumental in helping me master grammatical structures and vocabulary. Sasaki Sensei further tailors her lessons by incorporating articles related to my interests, which we read together. Additionally, she goes above and beyond by sending a follow-up email that reviews the elements covered in the lesson. Thanks to her, I was able to pass the Japanese Language Proficiency Test Level N2 on my first attempt. I am fortunate to have such an amazing Sensei."

"Sasaki-sensei is fantastic! I was assigned her through a work related program and decided to continue with her on my own once the work course was completed. She explains usages and nuances of words and grammar so clearly and provides various examples. She really cares about her students and listens to their needs to help them improve. I 100% recommend Sasaki-sensei to any leveled learner! "

"I felt nervous for the first couple of lessons because I'm not at ease with new people but you make me feel good and make me want to continue those courses. I feel more confident in japanese and look forward to learn more !

Thank you for your work with me over the last 6 months, you kept me motivated and gave me abilities to try this last JLPT."

"Sasaki-sensei is an outstanding teacher! She brings a wonderful harmony of enthusiasm and adaptability to lessons and your Japanese learning goals. And beyond learning Japanese with Sasaki-sensei, I'm also impressed by and appreciate the wide diversity of topics she is able to contribute to lessons: from everyday life in Japan to extremely nuanced business scenarios to public policy discussions. I've worked with several Japanese teachers and can confidently give Sasaki-sensei my highest rating! "
