My daughter is taking lessons from Atsuko. She has completed 4 lessons so far, and we have found Atsuko to be a very patient and effective tutor. She is great with communication and is always punctual. My daughter is taking lessons from Atsuko because she wanted to learn Japanese. Atsuko has done a great job at assessing her abilities and developing a learning plan that suits my daughter.

Satoko is a fantastic tutor! I struggle with languages and was having a really hard time with an extremely difficult class dealing with history and literature in Japanese. Satoko was able to explain concepts to me in a very clear, understandable way. Needless to say my homework saw a dramatic improvement! Additionally, she super nice and very patient. Also, my schedule would change around a lot and she was always accommodating.
Jewel R.

And to top it off, her personality is fantastic. She has an ease that makes it enjoyable to learn. I listen to them going over phrases and discussing how to use words in context as well as meaning and culture. They laugh and the atmosphere is light. I can tell my son immensely enjoys his lessons and is becoming, albeit slowly, more confident that he can learn Japanese. What a relief for me as a parent. Thank you, Chie.
