Reviews for Columbus japanese tutors on Thumbtack

From Allison L.

Learn Japanese Online

Learn Japanese Online

I have been taking lessons with Ayaka-sensee for a few weeks now, and I'm really enjoying them! She is super friendly, patient, and explains things simply and clearly. I immediately felt comfortable with her in my first lesson, and I find that I am always looking forward to the next one! Ayaka-sensee is very encouraging and makes learning Japanese fun for me. I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for a tutor. Five stars. *****

Sakura is very knowledgeable and is able to explain the Japanese language by breaking it down like a mathematical formula. One of the things I liked about her lesson is that she teaches cultural subtleties in conversation that are often left out of practical textbooks. For example, she will tell you to say a common phrase in a certain way so that it's "softer" and doesn't come across as aggressive. Sakura has a lot to offer as a tutor and I would highly recommend working with her to meet your language goals.
