Nanako B.

5 Japanese lessons

Ms. Satoko was a perfect fit for my children. We were looking for a tutor who could polish up my children's Japanese skills during the summer break so they wouldn't forget all that they learned during the school year. She paid great attention to each of my children individually and picked up very quickly on their strengths and weaknesses. The kids connected very well with her and each session was a great experience. Would highly recommend her!

3 Japanese lessons

Yumiko-san helped me prepare for my upcoming trip to Japan by having lessons that focused on my needs as a traveler. She discussed the Japanese alphabets and taught me vocabulary and sentences for asking directions, ordering food, introducing myself, shopping, telling date and time, etc... I also learned about basic conversations, grammar, pronunciation and sentence formations. She was very patient, attentive to my needs and encouraging.
