Student Feedback for Yumiko

"Great Japanese Tutor"

- Matthew from San Mateo, CA

I have been attending Japanese lessons with Yumiko Y. for the past nine months and I have found Yumiko to be highly professional, reliable and an excellent tutor. She is very patient and clearly explains the nuisances of the Japanese language and makes the lessons fun. I would highly recommend Yumiko for anyone out there seeking a Japanese tutor.

"Perfect for a traveler!"

- Sherri from San Francisco, CA

In preparation for a 3 week trip to Japan, I was looking for a tutor who would provide me with a working ability in vocabulary that suited my interests. Yumiko was perfect! She understood my needs, created lessons that met my needs and was encouraging. Everything I was looking for.

"Top notch tutor."

- Benjamin from San Francisco, CA

Yumiko is a professional and very fun and friendly tutor. On the first day she gave me a test to see what level I was at and then we have gradually been learning new things since then. She is very organized and explains things in a helpful manner. I'm going to be so much better prepared for my trip to Japan because of her! Doumo arigatou Yumiko!

"Best Japanese tutor around."

- Mandy from San Francisco, CA

My daughter was struggling in her high school first year Japanese class; she did not have any prior experience with the language. We called Yumiko halfway into the first semester, and it was a great decision! She is so engaging and covers all parts of the language: reading, writing, and verbal. She is patient, understanding, and fun. My daughter never feels bored during her lessons. Yumiko goes beyond the school curriculum and really teaches for understanding the language, not just for memorization. My daughter's high school Japanese class focuses on memorization before teaching the grammar; however, Yumiko teaches grammar, which in turn makes learning the language much easier. Much of the material my daughter learns is practical and could be used in everyday conversations with a Japanese person. She is available for help beyond the lesson time, which is great for reinforcing what is learned during the lesson as well as asking for emergency help before the next scheduled time. We love Yumiko and will continue to have lessons with her for all four years of high school and perhaps beyond!

"Great, experienced tutor."

- Adam from San Francisco, CA

Yumiko's experience definitely shows. After a few minutes of discussion and some language evaluation, she was able to determine what level of attention I needed. She also left it open for me to choose what aspects of Japanese I wanted to focus on, and was willing to structure class according. Extremely easy-going and fun tutor to talk to. I learned a lot, and had fun at the same time.

Highly recommended.

"A Wonderful Teacher"

- Eric from San Carlos, CA

Yumiko is a very effective and friendly teacher. She determines how much you know and what you enjoy to help provide the best learning experience possible. If you have any questions during or between lessons, she will gladly answer them. She is very flexible in her teaching so she can adapt her plan to improve lessons when necessary. Full of energy, things are never boring when she's teaching. She certainly has the sense of professionalism a teacher brings, yet is personable and makes one feel comfortable around her. The only issue that might be problem is that, on rare occasion, she may have to cancel a lesson last minute due to her schedule. Other than that, I find Yumiko to be very enjoyable to have as a tutor.

"Great Tutor"

- Sheilah from San Mateo, CA

Yumiko makes learning Japanese fun and easy. She has excellent communication skills and she is patient. She is able to gently push you out of your comfort zone so that you are able to start speaking Japanese after your first lesson. Her teaching methods are practical for learning all the nuances of a new language.
