I started taking Japanese lessons with Takara-sensei in 2011 and studied with her until 2013. After a longer break, we resumed private lessons in 2021 and have continued until today (2026). What I appreciate most is how well she adapts her teaching to my level and goals. She helped me prepare intensively for the JLPT N3 exam, which I successfully passed thanks to her support and guidance. Takara-sensei is a patient, highly professional teacher with deep knowledge of Japanese language and culture. Her lessons are always engaging and well structured, and after many years of studying together, she has also become a trusted friend. I highly recommend her to anyone looking for a dedicated and motivating Japanese teacher.
