Tami Z.

11 Japanese lessons

I am a vice president of a major advertising agency. Before I reached out to Yumiko sensai, my Japanese was less than rudimentary. Yumiko sensai helped me learn Japanese. Within 3 short months, with Yumiko sensai's teaching, I was able to deliver an important 3-minute speech in Japanese in front of 120 Japanese guests. My Japanese audience thought I was a native speaker because of my pronunciations and the perfect form of my grammar. This is all because of Yumiko sensai.

I started my tutoring with Eriko midway through my Japanese 2001 semester. I was barely passing the class as I had missed several days of school and had so many questions that I didn't know where to start. I had never met with a tutor before and I had no idea what to expect or even how to articulate the questions that I had. Eriko is a fantastic tutor.

My daughter can be easily disappointed when she is not progressing fast enough, or is struggling with learning something new,...but Yoko has managed to keep my daughter calm and still push her at a steady pace - I am SO impressed with her progress in such a short time. If you are considering a Japanese tutor, then I would strongly receommend you consider Yoko as your language guide - she's FANTASTIC !!
