Learn Japanese efficiently with a certified teacher with more than 6 years of experience. JLPT prep, travel Japanese, general Japanese, business Japanese, etc.

Motomi is a very thoughtful and patient tutor, she spends the time to go over the lessons with you and then gives you some questions that she will help with when you get stuck. I don't feel rushed or pressured at all when I'm trying to come up with answers and doesn't make you feel ashamed to make mistakes.

Motomi and I just finished our 4th month together learning Japanese. I have nothing but great things to say about her and her teaching style. Prior to our lessons I was a self-learner with only 3 months behind me working out of a textbook. I thought I was doing fine on my own but I knew I needed to get a Japanese native to try out my conversion skills. Which is how I found Motomi. Turns out the way I was pronouncing many words were wrong and even how I was writing certain Hiragana was wrong. We decided Genki was the best book for us to use and we would do the drill work together and she wouldn't let me get to the next drill unless she knew 100% I totally understood the concept which is what I needed. Motomi has given me homework also and has separate PowerPoints on tougher concepts. She goes up and above for her students and if I'm having trouble on the workbook I can text or call anytime. I recommend for beginners all the way to the even most advance students.
