I am a pretty shy person in 1-on-1 conversations, especially online, so I was worried about whether or not I would do well in an online setting. However, Tachizawa-sensei put me at ease. She listened carefully. She gave me time to think about what I wanted to say, and her corrections focused on repeated errors so I could recognize my habits and challenges. She planned lessons that matched my interests and needs, and when my goals changed, she kindly adapted the material. I was so grateful for her hard work and consideration. As someone who does not have a lot of opportunities to talk in Japanese in my job, I felt like I learned a lot of new words and strategies, even with only 30 minutes of class per week. I would recommend this class to anyone who would like to learn in a way that focuses on their goals and connect it to their daily life.

The KICL Online conversation course is really good. My teacher and I have a lot of common interests, which lead to instant trust between us. I think they did a really good match in the trial lesson. During the sessions, my teacher always makes the lesson interesting and knows the parts in which I struggle, so she pushes the situation far enough for me to learn, but not so much so it's frustrating. The only thing I think this course lacks, is time, since I find the 30 min lessons quite short. I always feel like we just started talking and the time is up already! But it is always fun and because it's short, it doesn't feel like a chore. The feedback is also always on time and SO PRECISE! It helps me a lot! I would really recommend this course to people who want to improve their Japanese.
