🇬🇧 “His English helped me understand better.”

"Kentaro is a brilliant teacher. After having lessons for a couple of months, I now feel comfortable trying to speak! The lessons are always interesting and are a good mix of talking, grammar and learning about Japan and Japanese culture. He is thorough and very patient, often reviewing the points and vocabulary I forget. His English is excellent which has been very helpful to me as a beginner. I thoroughly recommend lessons with Kentaro san."
