9 Japanese lessons

Masa is great with our two sons, ages 9 and 10! He creates fun lessons for them to begin to learn Japanese and they enjoy their weekly lesson so much! He met with us at no charge for a first meeting so that we could see if we made a good tutoring match, which was a good way that we as parents could get a feel for the tutor before committing to lessons. He arrives promptly and is very organized, our kids love him!

Masato Sensei has been such a godsend to my son. He comes to our home twice weekly and tutors my son in Japanese and Kanji. He has an A in class because of it. When there is a difficult topic for him, we all try to be specific with Masato and he kindly works with my son. He never pressures him or makes him feel like he can't do it. When there is a family schedule conflict he is very accommodating and changes his schedule and work, etc. in order to help us out.
Sally Y.

10 Japanese lessons

I ask questions about the vocabulary or we discuss other topics such as Japanese food, customs of Japan, and the historical significance of cities. Some of the articles I’ve read in Japanese have been about stolen bees, a plant explosion, and an avalanche. It has been a wonderful learning experience and I recommend Yasushi-san to anyone interested in supplemental studies in math or Japanese.
