・Kiki seems like a really friendly, talkative, easy-going person. This was my first time talking to her and the conversation went smoothly! ^^ She likes traveling and talking to foreign people and she's already had enough experience teaching Japanese. Also, she's very pretty! Anyway, I wish my Japanese was better but she was very patient listening to me. I definitely recommend her and I hope we can talk again soon.

・Kiki is a very nice and sweet teacher. I felt very comfortable talking with her. She made me feel so good about myself. It is very important to hear good things during these hard times.
