Koji S.

8 Japanese lessons

I took Japanese language lessons from Ms. R for about two months. Because my Japanese was beyond basic level these lessons often took the form of conversation sessions-- which was extremely valuable. Ms. R was patient, kind, and allowed me to maintain my Japanese skills over the summer, when I was fearful they would diminish. She is knowledgeable about Japanese language and culture, and I certainly recommend her for anyone looking to start Japanese or simply maintain it.
Marcelle B.

66 Japanese lessons

Eriko is really helping my son with the Japanese characters and speaking Japanese. He already had a good understanding of the language. We highly recommend her as a Japanese tutor!!!
Craig R.

5 Japanese lessons

After second lesson, I am very happy with Fumiko Sensei's tutoring. I often work with Japanese partners, and learning Japanese could help me in business. I recommend Fumiko-Sensei if you want to learn Japanese.
