She is originally from Nagoya! 🙂 She is excited to meet you and to learn about your goals for Japanese learning. Her hobbies include watching movies, traveling, and scuba diving. If you would like to learn more about Mutsuki-San you can visit this blog post. Message from Mutsuki-San: I want to share a short story with you – A few days ago, one of the students who was a complete beginner when I helped her join the Iidabashi school a year and a half ago came to me and spoke in fluent Japanese. She also reported that she passed JLPT N2 last December! (We are very proud of her.) It is her hard work that allowed her to reach an advanced level in a short time, but we are also happy to hear that we helped her achieve her goals. For those who have tried a lot but have given up on improving Japanese, we strongly recommend that you give it a try to take lessons at Coto. We are very happy to announce that our new branch school in Yokohama will be opened in March 2020. (March 2nd to be exact.) All the staff and the teachers will provide full support for you. If you have any questions or concerns, please don’t hesitate to contact us yokohama@cotoacademy.com. We all look forward to seeing you soon!! Kind regards,

Mutsuki Sasaki P.S. If you know anyone in Yokohama that needs to improve their Japanese speaking we would love for you to introduce them. Thank you for your continued support!
