"Kaji worked through some examples sentences with me and helped make them more natural. We also review some N2 questions. Kaji's explanations and example sentences are excellent and very effective to help memorise any words or grammar 👍🏻"

"Kaji sensei was very supportive and encouraging throughout the lesson. I haven't studied Japanese for a while and it was comforting that I was able to gain in confidence speaking Japanese again through Kaji sensei's support and reassurance. I really enjoyed the conversation at the start of the lesson and learning new phrases and vocabulary. Kaji sensei corrected my mistakes without affecting my confidence. Thank you so much."

"It is always enjoyable to have lesson with Teacher Kaji with regards to knowing more about Japanese cultures and news! Looking forward for classes with Teacher Kaji every week!"

 "I took the JLPT N3 exam in July. I'm so glad because many of the topics we studied appeared on the exam, including keigo, several kanji, and grammar points. I really felt that our lessons helped me prepare well. Kaji Sensei also shared effective strategies for answering the reading section, and those tips helped me manage my time much better during the exam. Kaji Sensei is patient, knowledgeable, and always explains things clearly. I'm looking forward to booking another lesson. I highly recommend Kaji Sensei to anyone preparing for the JLPT or looking to improve their Japanese skills!"
