What our students say–choices and teachers

We’ve just gotten fresh responses to the exit survey from the fall 2009 and early 2010 programs.  We’ll excerpt from this periodically.
Here are answers to two of the questions.

How did you hear about KCP and why did you choose us?

  • Referred by a friend; a good length of study for the price.
  • Internet (google search for Japanese language courses); an intensive and quick way to learn the Japanese language.
  • Through my college Study Abroad program.   It was the most rigorous and intensive of the three programs offered.
  • Through the Univ. of Southern Maine’s International Affairs dept.; for the university credit.
  • In the CCIS catalog. My university doesn’t offer Japanese, and I was extremely interested in learning it.
  • studyabroad.com. After getting into an English as a Second language field, I decided that now was the time to pick it up again, as Japan is a prime job market for ESL.
What teachers (sensei) do you recommend?
  • Anraku-sensei, Miyake-sensei, and Kawamura-sensei helped me improve my Japanese greatly.
  • Kawamura-sensei, Saito-senseii, and Kamisaka-sensei, all fantastic intructors, made me want to impress them.
  • Kamisaka-sensei, Iwai-sensei, and Saito-senseii are all excellent.
  • Saitou Yoshihiro-sensei is KCP’s most valuable staff member–a highly-skilled presenter and positive persinality.
  • Uematsu-sensei, Kono-sensei, and Saito-sensei went above and beyond to help me.
  • Anraku-sensei makes her classes interesting.
  • Morinaga-sensei is extremely helpful; her encouragement is more than enough to keep me motivated and studying.
  • Konno-sensei (because she is KCP’s most beautiful sensei)
  • Suzuki-sensei is the best! She explains everything clearly and gives off fun energy for learning. Takastu-sensei is always funny and very concerned with my progress. Imae-sensei acts everything out hilariously and creates a game show atmosphere.
  • Konno-sensei is lively, pleasant, involves us, and often deviates from the textbook with real-life scenarios.
  • I highly recommend all three of my teachers: Yamada-sensei, Konno-sensei, and Kawamura-sensei.
  • Takatsu-sensei and Suzuki-sensei were both excellent.
  • Kawamura-sensei and Anraku-sensei always come prepared and keep us motivated.
  • Morunaga-sensei is absolutely wonderful.
