Student’s Voice

Haruka Sensei is a wonderful teacher and explains everything so well! She has a great mix of fun and learning in her lessons. She also does a great job of listening to feedback from her students and adjusting her classes as necessary. Definitely recommend!

Haruka sensei was a fabulous tutor for me for the past 3 months, in preparation for a trip to Japan. I learned some Japanese 50 years ago so it was challenging to find the right type of class to meet my needs. Haruka sensei quickly assessed my strengths and weaknesses and created a learning plan to meet my budget. The one hour lessons were fun. She has great energy and is well organized. Haruka sensei sent me some notes after each class and advised what to prepare for the next lesson. For several of the lessons, it was a group lesson with one other student, a few were one on one. I highly recommend Haruka sensei. I am a little sad to be winding down this learning, with my upcoming trip.

Haruka Sensei is a great teacher, took my cousin a few other students and I to a Japanese owned restaurant for us to demonstrate our skills. Very good at encouraging students with fun games and activities.

I’ve been studying Japanese with Haruka-Sensei for about two years and she is truly an incredible teacher. She’s funny, kind, and genuinely cares about her students. She remembers details about your life, celebrates your successes, and supports you when you’re struggling which makes lessons feel more like learning with a friend than a traditional class.
She also brings so much joy and energy to every lesson, which makes learning really fun and motivating. She truly loves sharing her language and culture with others.
When I first started, I never imagined I’d reach a conversational level of Japanese but now we have most of our classes are almost entirely in Japanese. That says a lot about how dedicated and supportive she is as a teacher. I feel very lucky to be her student and highly recommend her to anyone wanting to learn Japanese!

Haruka is a highly skilled Japanese prof! She is efficient and well organized. Her classes follow a clear structure which makes learning Japanese a smooth process. She is funny and has a great sense of humour which makes her classes fun and enjoyable. Learning Japanese is not easy but if you put in the time and effort you can do it! And Haruka encourages you to always do your best!
