I had been studying Japanese for 5 years before starting lessons with Arai-sensei. When I started my tuition with Arai-sensei, my confidence in speaking Japanese was very low and my knowledge of the language fundamentals had not been consolidated very well. Whilst I had been taught Japanese from other tutors, they had not been effective in finding the best ways for me to learn and keep it fun and enjoyable. As a result of this, I started lessons with Arai-sensei still at a beginner level and I was determined to improve with her help.
From our first lesson we set out some targets for me to achieve. My knowledge of reading kanji was very low, and I struggled to speak Japanese confidently, so from then on, she suggested the best ways for me to improve on these areas. As we continued our lessons Arai-sensei could identify that I did not possess a clear understanding of certain grammar patterns, some of which you might encounter early on when learning Japanese. She made sure that before we continued, that we went through these specific fundamentals so that I had a solid understanding of them. During out lessons, she asks that I repeat certain forms and phrases repeatedly until I can speak it with speed and accuracy. The next lesson she will test me again, and so in this way my motivation to succeed remains very high. I thank her for her patience, especially whilst revising the Japanese causative-passive form!
What makes Arai-sensei a great teacher is the passion and dedication she puts into teaching her students. I am very happy to have been fortunate enough to come across Arai-sensei as she has transformed my enjoyment and ability in the Japanese language.Well prepared teacher, good and enjoyable lessons with a clear structure and communicative aims.
Mineko Arai has been my Japanese teacher for over seven years. She is highly qualified and has great experience.
She modifies her teaching to fit the student’s needs and gives full feedback.
I recommend her without qualification.View more recommendations
