Sylvia M.

4 Japanese lessons

My daughter has met with Yuko a couple of times and each experience has been more than great! Yuko is patient and we can tell she loves what she does as she takes the time for my daughter to actually learn. She has even tasked homework assignments for my daughter to work on! Enough wonderful statements can not be said regarding Yuko and her style of educating. My daughter and I are extremely blessed to have the opportunity for Yuko to teach her Japanese!
Julie D.

20 Japanese lessons

I am moving to Japan to teach English and had never studied Japanese before, but in two short months, I have learned so much. She is very flexible with meeting times/places, and is always very patient. The textbook we used (Genki) is very well written and understandable, and I plan to continue studying with it even after finishing my tutoring lessons. Akari-san makes sure to move at a pace that is good for you, making sure you understand the concepts before proceeding.
Maureen A.

125 Japanese lessons

I have only had 3 lessons of Japanese with Gina, following 3 months with another teacher in Las Vegas. I feel that I am already making progress. She understands my goal and adapts her teaching to my needs. I am having a great time. One month has gone by since my last review and I cannot believe how far I have come. Gina is very attuned to my capabilities, adapts the pace of her teaching to my pace of learning. She is an experienced teacher and a great one.
