Hanna

Joe Y. from Gresham, OR

Hanna's tutoring session was great. We were able to figure out what strategies would be the most efficient in order to become proficient enough to pass Pacific University's Japanese Proficiency Test. Because my Japanese writing skills has faltered since graduating from college, we went over methods that I could try in order to put it into daily use. In my case, Hanna suggested that I carry around a "kanji dictionary"; a notebook I could use to write down kanji that I am not familiar with, and use it in a sentence that is meaningful to me. Hanna's methods will become very helpful as I prepare for my proficiency test in the coming month.

Hanna has quite a bit to offer as a tutor - my wife and I took Japanese lessons from her for about a month. She always used fun games and activities to keep the lessons engaging, and she was very generous in terms of scheduling. If we needed to change the day we were meeting, see her on strange hours at weekends, etc, she was willing to make it work. As working professionals, we found the flexibility extremely valuable.

Hanna is fabulous with my ADD child. She searched until she found the best way to teach her. She is kind and caring with my daughter and never get upset when she becomes distracted. She even suggested that we do a little bit shorter lesson so she could stay on track easier. She is one of the best tutors that I have ever worked with. Always on time and prepared to start. You could not go wrong with hiring Hanna for you tutoring.

Hanna's English is excellent, especially for a Japanese native speaker. She is always well-prepared for each lesson and is equal parts professional and personable. Communication and scheduling have both been prompt, simple, and easy. I look forward to each lesson.

Hanna's tutoring session was great. She kindly taught English to my wife with Japanese for better understanding. It helped her to be relaxed and be motivated. My wife was happy to have her lessons. And she also recommended an appropriate workbook after 1st lesson.

I'm going to Japan in a few months to study at a language school, and I needed a tutor to help polish my grammar, vocabulary, and speaking skills. I could not have asked for a better tutor than Hanna! She's patient, informative, and likes to keep things fun and interesting.

Anne M. from Tualatin, OR

Hanna is a very knowledgeable and patient tutor. She is well prepared for our lessons and has good advice on how to study and practice. Every week before we start the lesson in the Genki series we have an ad lib conversation using the grammar and vocabulary that I had previously learned. Then we continue with the textbook. My Japanese has really improved and I looking forward to learning more from Hanna.
