Jessica K.

26 Japanese lessons

I started getting Japanese lessons from Yoko to prepare for the SAT Japanese Subject Test. From our first lesson, she was very engaged in helping me. She is always prepared, organized, and I enjoyed my lessons with her. Yoko will make sure you know what you are doing, and she is very knowledgeable! Not only that, but she is also kind and understanding. I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking a Japanese tutor.
Peter S.

110 Japanese lessons

I feel badly it has taken this long to write an endorsement for Junko-sensei because she is an amazing tutor and an incredibly nice person. My daughter has always be a fan of Japanese Anime...dropping Japanese phrases around the house which was funny since I started my career 25 years ago in Tokyo (and retain some Japanese language skills). Three years ago Junko-san started coming to our house for an hour a week when my daughter was in 7th grade.
Erika T.

8 Japanese lessons

This time we had a lot to go over. I enjoy the conversation in Japanese. She makes it comfortable for you to speak it without feeling bad for messing up. It feels like it's okay to so you can be corrected and learn from your mistakes. It's like learning a language as a child where you learn in school how to say things. She's better then a normal teacher or anyone else I've learned from. She makes it very personable and follows through with what she says she'll do.
