Description

After you purchase some lessons, you’ll receive an email asking you to fill out this booking request form so I have info on your Japanese goals and ability.

If we’re already connected through email and we’ve talked about what you want to get out of your tutoring lessons, you can continue emailing me and just send me dates and times you’re free.

Here is my Availability Calendar so you can narrow down the dates. It shows when I’m already booked. Note that my Availability Calendar reflects only confirmed events and appointments. Other students may have already booked a slot or have a standing reservation by the time you make a request so it’s possible we’ll have to try different dates or times but I’ll do my best to fit everyone in.
