■レッスン受講者の声■

・His teaching style is very practical. After a short conversation, he immediately analyzes where your mistakes are and helps correct them. Highly recommended!
・面白いですね！
・Nao-sensei was quite thorough in assessing my language skills and adjusting his approach accordingly. One thing about his teaching style that stood out in particular was how he would briefly pause the conversation to point out and explain flaws in my speech patterns, including not only technical errors but unnatural turns of phrase. Since the lesson was free talk, it didn't have a specific structure, but it still felt substantive and challenging. Highly recommended.
