Jeanne B.

8 Japanese lessons

Keiko is a native Japanese speaker and really enjoys teaching her language. She is very patient with my teenager: they do a lot of talking in Japanese (some English) during the session. We both enjoy her as a person, as well as a tutor. I would highly recommend her for anyone interested in learning Japanese!
David S.

21 Japanese lessons

Thanks to Shinsuke, I completely (and easily) learned hiragana, and began to learn kanji and katakana. I also learned basic daily communications. Finally, in addition to being very practical (and very polite, I might add), Shinsuke explained to me the nuances of Japanese culture. Our conversations about Japanese and American cultures really helped me understand my Japanese friends and girlfriend.

Mary has helped me immensely with my Japanese studies! She is very accommodating and personable, which is great for someone with a hectic schedule like me! Highly recommend to anyone looking to pursue Japanese language.
