Paula K.

43 Japanese lessons

My son was struggling in his Japanese class. There are no tutors where we live, so we found Chiho at Wyzant. After only two lessons via Skype, my son feels far more confident about his mastery of Japanese. He says she's cleared up a great deal of confusion and is very patient. Thanks Chiho!
Helen W.

20 Japanese lessons

Not once did I feel uncomfortable. I also learn different ways to practice a language with not just Japanese, but in general. Not only does she talk about basics, particles, verbs, grammar, and other parts of the Japanese language, but she also goes over some interesting culture fun facts that I never knew, which has kept the lessons interesting.
Alex G.

1 Japanese lesson

Mr. K provides absolutely outstanding Japanese tutoring service at all levels. Beginners can expect very detailed and step-by-step instructions on how to pronounce the basic units that make up the Japanese language. Intermediate and advanced students will enjoy an immersion in Mr. K's native culture and language during their lessons. Mr. K is always patient and considerate.
