"I look forward to the lesson ​every week"

I am enjoying my lessons so much! I look ​forward to the lesson every week. Rika San has ​created wonderful study material, with very ​simple wording for beginners. She explains very ​well, her english is very clear and she always ​makes me feel comfortable to ask as many ​questions as I would like. I highly recommend ​Rika San if you are looking for someone who ​has a very comforting vibe and makes you feel ​relaxed during the lesson but also keeps you ​interested. I will continue taking more lessons ​with Rika San.
