For a while now, I have been inconsistent with studying Japanese. I really needed that push to keep accountable. Since starting lessons with Luna-sensei, I’ve actually noticed progress with both reading and speaking Japanese! Her lessons are engaging and informative, in both Japanese language and culture. She incorporates textbook as well as modern day usage of words! She is always open to any questions I have and answers them thoroughly! It’s been a great pleasure so far!

I have had the pleasure of learning from Luna Sensei for the better part of the past year and I have nothing but praise for her. She is very kind, warm, passionate and patient.
