"Excellent job"
- Bette D, Phoenix, AZ on 7/21/16Mika translated a letter for me from Japanese to English. She did an excellent job of translation plus explaining Japanese feelings etc. in the letter. I would expect her to be a caring and outstanding teacher.
"Mika is phenomenal!"
- Dominique, Avondale, AZ on 3/31/16I have never had to tutor before, but once I found Mika I knew she was the teacher who was going to help me reach my goals. I want to reach level 2 on my JLPT. I tend to be overly ambitious with the goals I set for myself, but Mika is very understanding and accommodating. She is very open to discussing her culture and customs, which makes our after session discussions, so much more pleasant. She doesn't treat you like just another student, she is truly an amazing teacher and I have so much respect towards her. If you want to learn Japanese, I can't recommend Mika enough!
"Friendly, patient, and encouraging!"
- Caleb, Vancouver, WA on 2/5/16While considering various conjugations of verbs, I sometimes forget things that we've been over. Mika is very patient and helps me remember.
Very friendly and helpful!
"Outstanding!"
- Todd, Peoria, AZ on 8/19/15Mika san makes you feel relaxed and gives you that added confidence needed to learn a language well. Japanese is difficult, but I am sure that anybody with the drive and Mika's help can successfully learn it. Very professional.
"Wonderful teacher"
- Bill, Phoenix, AZ on 7/26/15Mika is a wonderful, encouraging teacher. She genuinely wants her students to succeed, and she provides both a framework for learning Japanese and a warm, encouraging atmosphere. I feel very fortunate to have found a teacher as talented as Mika.
"Amazing Tutor!"
- Angela, Phoenix, AZ on 8/28/14Mika San is a wonderful tutor! She is easy to reach and quick to respond. We fell into ease of conversation right away! Just love her! I am learning quite fast with her! She teaches very well and consistent. Domo arigatou gozaimasu Mika San!
"Great tutor!"
- Randy, Avondale, AZ on 3/14/14Mika is awesome! She is very clear and easy to understand. My Japanese level is relatively low but she is very patient and has catered lesson materials to my level that have been very beneficial to my learning process.
"Skilled and Patient Tutor"
- Launa, Lawrenceville, GA on 11/2/10Great first lesson! I loved the fact that Mika was patient and allowed me to work through remembering how to read Kanji. She came prepared with lesson materials based on what I need to learn, and I learned a lot of new things about keigo. I look forward to continued studies.
"LOVE MIKA!!!"
- Toni, Woodstock, GA on 6/6/10We are sad to say that this was the last lesson with Mika because our daughter is going off to college. It feels as if Mika has become one of our family and we'll miss seeing her every week! Mika is a wonderful tutor and person! We feel blessed to have found WyzAnt and Mika for our daughter! Mika is always very punctual and very polite. You can't go wrong with having Mika as a tutor!
"Very great tutor/teacher Highly recommend her"
- Christopher, Alpharetta, GA on 9/5/09I loved having Mika-Sensei as my tutor for the summer. I take Japanese classes at Georgia State University, but even going through these classes, and getting help from the teacher and other students I still have many questions when it comes to Japanese. Mika-Sensei not only helped me out with Japanese, but I can say that many times she went the extra mile. She goes very in-depth in each lesson and she takes her time to explain something to make sure you completely understand. She is also a very nice person and her positive attitude/personality really comes out in her teaching. If you ever need help in Japanese at any level (from completely novice to intermediate level of the language), she can definitely help you out. I will definitely continue having Mika as my tutor as soon as I get more free time with my own schedule and if anyone else needs help/wants to learn Japanese I definitely recommend them to go to her also.

Approved subjects
In most cases, tutors gain approval in a subject by passing a proficiency exam. For some subject areas, like music and art, tutors submit written requests to demonstrate their proficiency to potential students.

Japanese
I'd like to be certified in this subject because I'm Japanese.
