Catherine helped us make sense of what the teacher was asking for prior to class beginning, and took time out of her own schedule to communicate with the teacher via email. I would recommend Catherine to anyone who is wanting to learn Japanese and is tentative with starting the process. She is incredibly supportive and positive and is very sensitive to adapting her methods to your way of learning the language.
Hiromi T.

28 Japanese lessons

I am Japanese. I was working in the U.S. and I wanted to improve my business English. I was not good at speaking and English pronunciation. Depending on what I want to improve, he provides me with great lessons. Sometimes we focus on pronunciation or conversation. We talk about specific topics using TOFEL books, and he will transcript what I say. Then he corrects my wrong sentence.
Makiko G.

28 Japanese lessons

Yuko has been giving Japanese lessons to my 14 year old daughter to prepare her for a study abroad program. My daughter loves Yuko's gentle but effective teaching style. She uses a text book to go over basic grammar, reading and writing, as well as teaching conversational skills. She also gives homework assignments to help in-between session studying. Overall we're very pleased with our experience with Yuko, and my daughter is more confident to go to Japan now.
