 Rinko communicated brilliantly before our taster lesson and was wonderfully friendly during the lesson. She taught me some key introductory phrases and I found the repetition and explanations very helpful. I'm a visual learner so more pictures could have helped, but this was only the first lesson so I can't speak to her other content. Domo arigato gozaimazu, Rinkosan x
