I’ve been preparing for my upcoming exchange to Japan and have been learning Japanese with Rie which has been so incredibly helpful. Every week, I genuinely look forward to our sessions. Rie is incredibly friendly, warm, and supportive, always making me feel excited to learn.
One of the things I really appreciate is how well Rie adapts her teaching to suit my individual learning style. Whether it's writing, speaking, or listening, she ajusts each lesson to ensure I'm making the most progress possible. She's also incredibly organised, always sending me detailed notes after each session.
If you’re looking to learn Japanese, I highly recommend Japanese Tutor NZ. Thank you so much Rie!

We engaged Rie to do online weekly Japanese sessions with our daughter a few months before she headed to Japan for four weeks. Through email, zoom and text we were kept abreast weekly of the content covered and planned and any issues that arose. Our daughter is soon to fly out, and the sessions that were tailored to her situation have given her a much greater level of reassurance and confidence than she would have otherwise felt. For her part, our daughter told us that Rie made her feel at ease, that she learnt a lot and that the sessions were well-pitched to prepare her for her exchange. We couldn't be happier with the results and feel confident that you too will feel the same.

We went to Japan in June, and we felt incredibly prepared, thanks to the thorough and practical lessons. As a native speaker, Rie-san provides invaluable cultural context and tips that only a local would know, making the learning experience much richer. Her teaching style is both fun and engaging, and she is always mindful of our pacing. I would recommend her classes to anyone interested in learning Japanese.
りえ先生、ありがとうございます ☺️

I'm learning the language faster than I ever thoght possible. Rie is good at adapting the lessons to each individual learning style, including a change of textbook to better suit our learning goals. She is also cheerful and nice to be around. Highly recommend her classes to people who are interested in learning about the Japanese language and culture.
