Laura B.

3 Japanese lessons

Noritaka-san was an excellent Japanese tutor. He worked with both me and my children (ages 11 and 8) in preparation for a trip to Japan. He speaks English very proficiently and explains the Japanese language very well. I would highly recommend him to others.
Michael G.

9 Japanese lessons

Yuko was a godsend for me getting back into Japanese after a long hiatus. She was able not only to help me with logistical things (help with homework, correct use of grammar, quiz preparation), but she has also made my conversational Japanese better than ever. I would highly recommend her!
Tina L.

1 Japanese lesson

Hisatsugu-san is very knowledgeable and experienced for business Japanese speaking (keigo) and writing. In addition, he also provided very valuable advice to help me understand Japanese business culture. I highly recommend him and would love to continue the session with him, but unfortunately my office location is a little inconvenient.
