“I studied Japanese for many years and struggled a lot to memorize the kanji. Doctor Professor changed it all for me. After a couple of months I had learned hundreds of new kanji and easily passed my exams at Waseda University, Tokyo. I would never have achieved this with traditional kanji learning methods.”
Gustavo Maultasch, Diplomat
“Doctor Professor stands out among all other learning alternatives. The memo stories are fun and make it easier for students to build their vocabulary. When my students use the app independently in class, I get extra time to catch up with grading exams, a valuable benefit to me as a busy teacher.”
Fengping Mao, Chinese Teacher
“My 9 year old son is a heritage learner growing up outside of Japan. Doctor Professor's illustrations and animations are fun and really help him learn the kanji. The app lets him follow the same kanji curriculum as kids in Japan do and he often scores 100% on his weekly quizzes at school. This is subarashii!”
