Why I Teach; "Noisy Classroom"; How I Teach (link)
"Ogawa-sensei is great! It is easy to communicate in English with him for more complex questions and I like his enthusiasm for teaching." (Level 1)
"Ogawa-sensei uses Jamboards and incorporates fun ways to remember the material we are covering in that class." (Level 1)
"Ogawa せんせい is very gifted at creating an environment that is both very inviting and always on-task. The class is very engaging and he takes great care in making sure we are all able to follow along. Learning feels very fun!" (JAPN 101 & 102)
"He always takes time from class to point out how the language has changed. For example, how the slang in our textbook is somewhat outdated. He also makes sure to teach the variety within culture. For example, we learn gendered mannerisms and how they are traditionally used, but we also learned from [Ogawa 先生] how not everyone chooses to strictly adhere to these norms. No group of people are a monolith and Ogawa せんせい does an amazing job of teaching that. (JAPN 101 & 102)
"He always strikes me as extremely dedicated and is always able to make time to answer questions or give extra help." (JAPN 101 & 102)
"Ogawa Sensei makes class enjoyable and that encourages students to attend and study so that they can understand better in class. Overall, I think Ogawa Sensei is doing an amazing job as a teacher." (JAPN 101 & 102)
"Ogawa Sensei always brings energy and fun to class and it seems as though he truly enjoys teaching." (JAPN 101 & 102)
"Creative with how act classes are presented. Since its a small class, he always engages with us like asking how our weekend went and what we did. Is always helpful and makes sure we understand Japanese material we go over in class." (JAPN 101 & 102)
"Sanshiroh Ogawa has positively changed the way I think about Japanese and the culture."
