"As a global technology executive with business interests in Japan, I knew mastering the language, culture, and business etiquette would be critical to our success.
Arisa took the time to understand my specific goals and designed a tailored curriculum featuring practical role-playing, business scenarios, and engaging visual materials. Her lessons have been invaluable in preparing me for real-world interactions in Tokyo and Kyoto.
I highly recommend Arisa and A&R Waku Waku JP to any executive aiming to build strong business relationships in Japan."

"I have really enjoyed my time learning with Arisa-san! Her teaching style has helped my learning by brining in much needed structure and practical cultural context. One on one speaking practice has also been a big help to building my confidence and proficiency in the language."

"We have known Rie-sensei for about eight years, and our experience with her has been extraordinary. She has always kept us engaged, motivated, and making progress in a way that no other teacher has.
She is also incredibly flexible and understanding of the realities of learning Japanese as two working adults, adapting the content of our lessons to whatever we need, often with little or no notice.
Most importantly, she is a fun, positive, and genuinely lovely person. Knowing her has enriched our lives well beyond just learning Japanese.
We wholeheartedly recommend giving lessons with Rie-sensei at A&R Waku Waku JP a try. We feel very lucky to have found her."

"I have been taking lessons with Rie-sensei since 2019, and she has not only won the hearts of countless students from her intuitive, approachable, and fun learning style, but she has also done this in a way that has gotten employees in the US to better understand and appreciate the Japanese culture we're working in. This is only made possible by her absolutely lovely personality and the relationships she builds with all of her students, which is built on a foundation of genuine care for our learning experience and its practical applications."
