I was lucky to have Shinsuke as my teacher last year, and as someone who takes Japanese very seriously I can tell you that Shinsuke is the best teacher out there. To find a teacher with such a deep understanding of the language who can also give you a lot of added value such as insights on Japanese behavior and customs is rare. We even met at a Japanese book store, and he helped me pick books!
Peter M.

17 Japanese lessons

I have had an interest in Japanese culture for a while now, so I decided to start fresh with Japanese. Thus far, I have found his lessons to be satisfying, enjoyable, and rewarding. In contrast to the slow progress of my high school class, I have progressed very quickly with Mr. C's Japanese lessons. His lesson plans and teaching methods make the language easy to learn and inspire me to do my best without placing pressure on me.

1 Japanese lesson

We had our first Japanese lesson with Kristin last week. My daughter who is 9 years old, just loved her. Kristin comes prepared and she knows how to access her student's level of knowledge. My daughter has been immersed in Japanese and the culture since the day she was born. I am Japanese and my husband is American. But, my parents take care of her every day after school.
