I was learning from Haruka during my second year university to help me catch up in a Japanese Language program. She was an absolutely amazing teacher and I would highly recommend her to anyone looking for someone who is fun and effective to help you get to your goals!

Haruka sensei is a very kind and warm teacher. Even though I make many mistakes, she's always very patient and points out small errors in my speaking and writing. Time flies by when I have lessons with her. The best Japanese teacher with very concise explanations and provides clear and situational explanations of Japanese grammar. I would highly recommend Haruka sensei to anyone I know.

Haruka is a talented and warm teacher. She has amazing energy in teaching through play, song, and interest. Our child has learned to anticipate his lessons and has gained understanding but also a gradual openness to speaking Japanese more and more. She also brings a cultural aspect to her lessons that we appreciate so ki hand parents. We are very, very grateful to her.

Our 11 year old boy LOVES working with Haruka. She is thoughtful, patient, responsive, warm, and very skilled in keeping him engaged for a full hour, twice a week. She is very professional and responsible, and her approach is well organized and thorough. We are immensely happy with her services.

Haruka Sensei is one of the best teachers I've met. She constantly motivates me to keep pushing myself to improve my Japanese and practices causal conversations so that I can communicate in Japanese in my daily life. She also has a lot of her magical tricks to make the students memorize the grammar and conjugation of verbs.

Haruka is an incredible sensei and human being. She is full of passion and enthusiasm that is matched by her skill as a teacher. Her lessons are always well-structured yet creative - never failing to keep things fresh and interesting. She will help you work towards your Japanese goals, all the while checking in, gauging where your abilities are at, and customizing lessons accordingly. I’m constantly impressed by (and appreciative of) her knack for knowing when it’s right to push forward with new materials, and when it’s time to do some review. Highest of recommendations!

Haruka is a amazing teacher, I really recommend her. Her lessons are fun and easy to understand. She makes sure your learning at a good pace and aren’t doing to much. I’ve been able to pick up quite a bit of Japanese since I’ve started learned with her.

I've been taking lessons with Haruka for several months now, and I've seen my Japanese vocabulary greatly improve. One of the reasons is that I get a lot of practical experience speaking in Japanese, which improves both my listening and speaking skills and helps me with natural Japanese. A lot of studying with Haruka includes language practice, some homework, and natural conversation, which I find very helpful. Haruka is very friendly and patient and I really enjoy taking lessons with her!

Haruka is a wonderfully passionate teacher. She has been understanding and patient with me over each language hurdle, and taken the time to work through it.

As a learner with dyslexia and a lot of anxiety, Haruka has never given up on me, and quickly adapted her teaching style and and approach to help me understand difficult concepts.

I cannot recommend Haruka enough, Her cheerful and energetic personality will make learning with her so much fun.
