Ron has been teaching my three girls ages 11 to 6 Japanese since Oct 2011. He is an American business man who is fluent in Japanese. My kids are very interested in the language and he makes the learning fun. He is very patient with the kids and keep them in focus by giving them quizzes. I highly recommend him to teach other families.
Mandy K.

55 Japanese lessons

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.
Jessi I.

1 Japanese lesson

My daughter loved working with Michiko. She was taking Japanese 103 and had been struggling with some things. Michiko helped her improve comprehension, boosted her confidence, and encouraged her to continue studying Japanese. We had tried other tutors but given some of my daughter's challenges, none were compatible. Michiko was excellent, and I wish we had been able to continue sessions with her.
