“So I have been studying together with Takahashi sensei for a number of years and initially my Japanese level was fairly low and I found that when it came to learning the basics I was able to master a lot of them quite easily with the help of him. I often had many questions and he would very thoroughly and graciously explain things, which was a huge help. As my speech has improved and my needs have changed,Hei has been able to adapt well and easily transitioned from teaching a beginner to a conversation partner. Now I look forward to our Saturdays in the afternoon where we talk about various subjects in Japanese and along the way I can practice what I know, be introduced to new things and continue to solidify my language ability. 

I should also mention that when I started studying with him, I was N5 or N4 level and now I am a conversational speaker who has their N2 certification and would likely pass N1 as well. ”
