Hitomi Sensei is a great tutor.
She makes custom/personalized lessons for my needs and gives me a summary of what I learned after the class. She also offers to make homework for me to complete.
She kindly matches with my learning needs and preferences. She is also very patient and kind. Her experience in using business Japanese is really valuable and is a great help in my learning goals.
I recommend Hitomi sensei as your tutor. 😊
