Hi, I'm Kurumi! :)I'm a native Japanese tutor who is originally from Hokkaido, the north island of Japan but currently live in Bristol.

Sally C
Sally has been my Japanese tutor for about a year (maybe a bit longer) she is friendly and personable. In addition Sally has always taken into account my learning style and goals in relation to how the lessons. I am learning both written and spoken Japanese and believe most of my progress has been due to her being my tutor. I would highly recommend working with Sally.

Natsumi H
My husband and I had so much fun learning Japanese with Natsumi.
She was fun and was very helpful if I found anything tricky.
The lessons were full with conversational Japanese.
We were always surprised when the lesson would finish as time flies when you’re having fun.
Natsumi was always excited and happy when you remembered words or phrases from last lesson.
Thank you Natsumi!

Ikumi M
I never imagined I would enjoy learning a new language after my school years. Ikumi fosters a warm and welcoming environment, demonstrating patience and utmost professionalism. Her preparation for each lesson is impressive, and she even assigns homework when she's unable to conduct a session. I believe I couldn't have found a better tutor and I plan to continue with her until I achieve my personal goals.
Thank you Ikumi!

Misako G
Misako is truly the best teacher I've ever had. I've been interested in Japanese and studied by myself for some time and taking up the lessons was the best step forward in my learning. I was a complete beginner at the time, but quickly lessons with Misako became the highlights of my week. I am more comfortable speaking the language and am always looking forward to learn more. ありがとうございます！
