I am a JLPT N2 certified trainer. I’ve been teaching this course for more than 6 years. I have designed interactive course material that helps the student to work on all the basic skills needed for any language like reading, listening, speaking, & writing. I have taught this course to 50+ individual students, out of which 85% of students showed great results. My students describe me as a patient teacher as I am always ready to repeat the concept any number of times till they get comfortable with it. I am looking forward to having you in the live session, and I am sure you will have a great time learning here!
Prachi sensei is an extremely helpful and fun teacher. I was very pleased with her teaching style, she is also big on introducing Japanese culture to her students. Every lecture I had with her was very productive. She is very patient and has a positive attitude.
I have completed 3 levels under guidance of prachi sensei. She is very knowledgeable and helpful. Personal attention is given to every student.
