Over the past three years, I've worked with four different tutors, both Japanese and American, but Marisa stands out as the best of them all. Her expertise in critical Japanese language scenarios is superb, and she always knows what's most important for me to focus on when studying. With her experiences growing up and working in Japan, she possesses a great understanding of cultural nuances and social dynamics, bringing me confidence in learning and expressing myself correctly. Marisa is both disciplined and easy-going, tailoring each lesson to fit my specific needs without any hassle. She is also thoughtful and punctual when it comes to scheduling. Overall, I highly recommend Marisa to students of all levels!

Marisa has been the perfect addition to our family during our distance learning journey. With her exceptional support in Japanese and Math, my two children (8 and 9 years old) have thrived under her guidance. Her professionalism, flexibility, and communication skills are unparalleled. Marisa effortlessly navigates through each child's curriculum and dives right into each session, ready to tackle their schoolwork. She has kept them focused and on track during a challenging academic year and they eagerly anticipate their sessions. We strongly recommend Marisa for any educational needs.

In preparation for our upcoming voyage to Japan, my son and I received fundamental Japanese instruction from Marisa. Working with her was an absolute pleasure: she possessed vast knowledge, exhibited patience and understanding, and infused each lesson with enjoyment and engagement. Additionally, Marisa provided excellent means and suggestions for practice outside of class time, and was very accommodating with scheduling. Our interaction with her was a particularly positive experience, and we confidently recommend her as a tutor!
