love professor nishihara! she's so sweet and caring and truly wants you to succeed. she does have high expectations but it helps you learn and push yourself. the class is very textbook heavy but in-person practice helps a lot!

Love love love Nishihara Sensei! She is so kind and really wants you to succeed. She teaches well and personally I barely had to study outside of class. She's not a harsh grader and creates a great environment for her student. An absolute gem in the Japanese department. Attendance is very important to your grade so don't skip a lot.

Great energy in class, wonderful to work with. As you might expect with a Japanese language course, it's difficult and will require a lot of your focus but if you can swing it, it's amazing.

Great Japanese Instructor. Helps to develop your Japanese overall instead of just teaching from the text book.

She's an amazing teacher and is respectful to her students. She made learning Japanese entertaining and interactive. Wish I could have her as my professor again.

Professor Nishihara is an absolute gem in the Japanese department. She teaches her class so well, and is absolutely ready to help should you need extra guidance. As long as you pay attention in class and do the homework, you will fly by in this class. She is also not a harsh grader, and she creates a very low stress atmosphere for her students.

Nishihara works really hard to help you develop better speaking and listening skills in Japanese. She makes you work hard, but in the end you really learn, you don't just learn to recite the textbook.
